Due to the technological importance that the extrusion process represents in the application of fast food, the objective of this work was to apply pregelatinized rice and sorghum flours in the development of an instant preparation soup and to evaluate its centesimal, technological, and their sensorial analysis. Ten formulations of the instant soup were prepared from the mixtures experimental design. According to the experimental results, it can be stated that the predicted values corroborated with the experimental values, that is, a mixture was obtained for the instant soup with the characteristics of water absorption, water solubility, color, luminosity and viscosity close to the predicted by the models. After the physical and chemical analysis, the microbiological characterization of the best formulation defined by the desirability test was used, which demonstrated that the product is suitable to microbiological standards. The results obtained showed that the 80:10:10 instant soup formulation of pregelatinized rice flour, pregelatinized sorghum flour and potato starch allowed the experimental development of a new product with good nutritional characteristics benefits. It was obtained a food with good technological characteristics solubility and absorption in water, good viscosity, light color and with good sensory acceptance by the tasters.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to investigate the interactions between a palygorskite coating and linear chain alkanes (dodecane C12, tetradecane C14, hexadecane C16, and octadecane C18), representing base oils in this study. The simulation models were built by placing the alkane molecules on the surface of the palygorskite coating. These systems were annealed and geometrically optimized to obtain the corresponding stable configurations, followed by the analysis of the structural changes occurring during the MD process. The interfacial interaction energies, mean square displacements, and self-diffusion coefficients of the systems were evaluated to characterize the interactions between base lubricant molecules and palygorskite coating. It was found that the alkanes exhibited self-arrangement ability after equilibrium. The interfacial interaction was attractive, and the electrostatic energy was the main component of the binding energy. The chain length of the linear alkanes had a significant impact on the intensity of the interfacial interactions and the molecular diffusion behavior. Moreover, the C12 molecule exhibited higher self-diffusion coefficient values than C14, C16 and C18. Therefore, it could be the best candidate to form an orderliness and stable lubricant film on the surface of the palygorskite coating. The present work provides new insight into the optimization of the structure and composition of coatings and lubricants, which will guide the experimental development of these systems for practical applications.

Experimental Development

New energy technologies may fail to make the transition to the market once research funding has ended due to a lack of private engagement to conclude their development. Extending public funding to cover such experimental developments could be one way to improve this transition. However, identifying promising research and development (R&D) proposals for this purpose is a difficult task for the following reasons: Close-to-market implementations regularly require substantial resources while public budgets are limited; the allocation of public funds needs to be fair, open, and documented; the evaluation is complex and subject to public sector regulations for public engagement in R&D funding. This calls for a rigorous evaluation process. This paper proposes an operational three-staged decision support system (DSS) to assist decision-makers in public funding institutions in the ex-ante evaluation of R&D proposals for large-scale close-to-market projects in energy research. The system was developed based on a review of literature and related approaches from practice combined with a series of workshops with practitioners from German public funding institutions. The results confirm that the decision-making process is a complex one that is not limited to simply scoring R&D proposals. Decision-makers also have to deal with various additional issues such as determining the state of technological development, verifying market failures or considering existing funding portfolios. The DSS that is suggested in this paper is unique in the sense that it goes beyond mere multi-criteria aggregation procedures and addresses these issues as well to help guide decision-makers in public institutions through the evaluation process.

The paper is devoted to experimental development of method for 1,1,2-trichlorethane (TCE) dehydrochlorination (DHC). The economic and environmental issues of organic chlorinated compounds processing are described. The basic principle and possible products of TCE processing are presented. The DHC of TCE, which is one of the chlorinated organic wastes produced in the ethylene dichloride process, to vinylidene chloride (VDC) was carried out over over CaO, MgO supported on SiO2 and modified with CsCl catalysts. This process was carried out in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor. The prepared catalysts were characterized by surface area and base properties before/after reaction. The methodology for determining properties of catalyst is described. Laboratory activity test apparatus was developed, and the schematic diagram is presented in the paper. The method of determination of TCE concentration of was calculated from its partial saturation vapor pressure at a given temperature is presented. Encouraging results were obtained on the catalyst containing 10 % CsCl/CaO·SiO2. The direction of the DHC reaction changed radically under described conditions: VDC was not formed at all and the major products were cis- and trans-1,2-dichloroethene. Interesting results were obtained with the catalytic system comprising 10 % (MgO-CsCl) (1:1) supported on SiO2. DHC of 2 % TCE/Ar at 302 °C proceeds quantitatively over 20 h with selectivity for VDC of more than 80%. These systems are suitable to study the factors providing the binding and removal of HCl from the reaction zone. A possible way to increase the selectivity for VDC is the creation of the conditions favoring the DHC of TCE into VDC by the radical mechanism, which was observed in experiments with 10% CsCl/CaSiO3. The directions for future researches are formulated and described.
