Catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate (EAc) and benzene (Bz) over chromium exchanged ZSM-5 (Si/Al=240) is reported. An 11 mm i.d. fixed-bed catalytic reactor, operated at temperatures between 100 oC and 500 oC, and under excess oxygen condition, was used for the catalytic activity measurement. Apparent order of reaction and apparent activation energy were determined by operating the reactor differentially at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 78,900 h-1 and feed concentrations between 3,500 ppm to 17,700 ppm and 3,700 to 12,400 ppm for ethyl acetate and benzene, respectively. Ethyl acetate was more reactive than benzene due to highly reactive carbonyl group in the molecule. The combustion process satisfactorily fitted pseudo first-order kinetics with respect to organic concentration and a zero-order dependence on the oxygen concentration. The presence of water vapor (9,000 ppm) in the feed stream was found to weaken the reactivity of these organics which could also be demonstrated with increases in the activation energy from 23.1 kJ/mole to 37.6 kJ/mole for ethyl acetate and from 27.6 kJ/mole to 46.1 kJ/mole for benzene. Water vapor was found to play a positive role in the formation of carbon dioxide yield in ethyl acetate combustion. Deactivation of catalyst by water appeared to be only temporary and the activity reverted back to its original value once the source of water vapor was removed.

The Ni-loaded cryptomelane-type manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) catalysts (xNi/OMS-2: x = 1, 3, 5, and 10 wt%) were prepared by a pre-incorporation method. Physicochemical properties of the as-synthesized materials were characterized by means of various techniques, and their catalytic activities for CO, ethyl acetate, and toluene oxidation were evaluated.The loading of Ni played an important role in improving physicochemical propertiesof OMS-2. Among all of the samples, 5Ni/OMS-2 exhibited the best catalytic activity, with the T90 being 155 °C for CO oxidation at a space velocity (SV) of 60,000 mL/(g·h), 225°C for ethyl acetate oxidation at an SV of 240,000 mL/(g·h), and 300 °C for toluene oxidation at an SV of 240,000 mL/(g·h), which was due to its high Mn3+ content and Oads concentration, good low-temperature reducibility and lattice oxygen mobility, and strong interaction between the Ni species and the OMS-2 support. In addition, catalytic mechanisms of the oxidation of three pollutants over 5Ni/OMS-2 were also studied. The oxidation of CO, ethyl acetate, and toluene over the catalysts took place first via the activated adsorption, then intermediates formation, and finally complete conversion of the formed intermediates to CO2 and H2O.

Abstract In the companion Part 1 of this two-part series paper several improvements to the mathematical model of the energy conversion processes, taking place in a diesel engine cylinder, have been proposed. Analytical mathematical dependencies between thermal parameters (pressure, temperature, volume) and caloric parameters (internal energy, enthalpy, specific heat capacities) have been obtained. These equations have been used to provide an improved mathematical model of diesel engine indicator process. The model is based on the first law of thermodynamics, by taking into account imperfections in the working media which appear when working under high pressures and temperatures. The numerical solution of the simultaneous differential equations is obtained by Runge-Kutta type method. The results show that there are significant differences between the values calculated by equations for ideal gas and real gas under conditions of high pressures and temperatures. These equations are then used to solve the desired practical problem in two different two-stroke turbo-charged engines (8DKRN 74/160 and Sulzer-RLB66). The numerical experiments show that if the pressure is above 8 to 9 MPa, the working medium imperfections must be taken into consideration. The mathematical model presented here can also be used to model combustion process of other thermal engines, such as advanced gas turbine engines and rockets.

The study was devoted to the analysis of feller buncher platform leveling systems. The widespread use of these systems in the design of modern feller-buncher machines makes the study relevant to assess operational efficiency. The analysis was conducted in five stages using analytical and stochastic mathematical modeling methods. In the first stage, the existing layouts of alignment systems were analyzed from the position of force on the hydraulic cylinder rods of the platform tilt drive. The three-cylinder layout scheme, where the force on the hydraulic cylinder rod was 50…60% less than that on the two-cylinder layout, appeared to be the most expedient. In the second stage, a mathematical model for determining changes in the position of the center of mass of the feller-buncher depending on the inclination angle of the platform was derived. In the third stage, a mathematical model was derived for determining the limiting angle of slope of the terrain when the feller buncher moved up the slope. For this purpose, two calculation schemes were considered when the machine moved up the slope without and with a tilted platform. Zero support reaction on the front roller was taken as the stability criterion. In the fourth stage, a mathematical model for determining the limiting angle of slope of the terrain during the roll of the feller-buncher machine was obtained. In the fifth stage, the efficiency of the application of leveling systems was evaluated. A graph of the dependence of changes in the terrain slope angle on the platform slope angle was plotted, and a regression dependence for an approximate estimate was obtained. A regression analysis was also carried out, and dependencies were obtained to determine the weight of a feller-buncher with a leveling system and the added pressure on the ground caused by the increase in the weight of the base machine. The analysis of platform leveling systems showed the effectiveness of their application in the designs of feller-buncher machines, as it allows the machines to work on slopes with an inclination of 50…60% more than without them.

Combustion of natural gas for power generation leads to NOx formation due to the high temperatures encountered. Catalytic combustion allows the entire combustion process to be completed at temperatures where NOx formation can be avoided. The catalyst of choice is supported PdO. As temperature is increased, PdO decomposes to Pd metal with profound effects on catalyst reactivity. Persistent hysteresis in reaction rates have been related to the decomposition of PdO into Pd and its reformation.Understanding and controlling the phase transformations, and the resulting activity variations, is of enormous importance for high temperature combustion catalysts where predictable catalyst activity is necessary for stable operation. Farrauto et al. studied the phase transformations of PdO to Pd using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). They concluded that while PdO decomposes to Pd at high temperatures during the heating cycle, upon cooling the Pd does not transform to PdO till the temperature drops by several hundred degrees.

Experimental results on the influence of temporal unmixedness on NOx emissions are presented for both non-catalytic and catalytically stabilized, lean premixed combustion. The test rig used for the experiments consists of a fuel/air mixing section which allows variation of the degree of temporal unmixedness while maintaining a uniform “average over time” concentration profile over the cross section at the inlet to the combustion chamber. The unmixedness is measured as “rms fluctuations in fuel concentration” by an optical probe using laser absorption at 3.39μm over a 9mm gap. “Average over time” measurements are taken with “conventional” suction probe analyzers. The combustion chamber is an insulated, tubular reactor (i.d. 26.4mm). At the inlet to the combustion chamber a honeycomb monolith section is inserted. This monolith is either catalytically active or inactive for catalytically stabilized or non-catalytic combustion respectively. For both modes, the exact same inlet conditions are applied. In catalytically stabilized combustion a fraction of the fuel is consumed within the catalyst and the remaining fuel is burnt in the subsequent homogeneous combustion zone. It is shown that catalytically stabilized combustion yields lower NOx emissions and, more important, that the effect of temporal fuel/air unmixedness on NOx emissions is much smaller than with non-catalytic combustion under identical inlet conditions. Experimental evidence leads to the conclusion, that the catalyst is capable of reducing temporal fluctuations in fuel concentration and/or temperature in the combustion process, thereby preventing excess NOx formation. As a result, the requirements on mixing quality are less stringent when using catalytically stabilized combustion instead of conventional, non-catalytic combustion.
