In this study, CO2 absorption capacity in aqueous mixtures of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, (AMP) and N-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, [B3MPYR][BF4] was measured at pressures from 200 kPa up to 5000 kPa and temperatures of 303.15 K - 333.15 K. The AMP concentration was maintained at 1 M while the [B3MPYR][BF4] concentration ranges from 0.05 M to 0.3 M. It was observed that CO2 loading capacity increases when the pressure increased. However, increasing of temperature will decrease the CO2 loading. From the experimental results, a simple correlation, as suggested by Jou and Mather was used to predict the CO2 loading in the aqueous AMP-[B3MPYR][BF4] mixtures. The model were found to be in a good agreement with the experimental results where only 1.66% of the predicted values deviate more than 20% compared to the experimental values.

The present work deals with the production of biodiesel from Sandbox (Hura crepitans) seed oil and the optimization of the parameters that influence the transesterification of Sandbox (Hura crepitans)seed oil into biodiesel using Response Surface Methodology. Hura crepitans oil was obtained from by using hydraulic press for Mechanical and n-hexane for solvent extraction. Esterification was done using methanol and sodium hydroxide. A total of 48 experiments using Central Composite Design were carried out. The R-Squared, Adequate Precision, Predicted and Adjusted R-Squared values were 0.9367, 19.219, 0.8576 and 0.9070 respectively. The result of the extraction of oil, physiochemical properties, and optimization process shows that sandbox (Hura crepitans) seed oil has characteristics that are more favorable to biodiesel production. The optimal conditions for extraction of oil from sandbox seed oil were given as alcohol/ oil ratio of 5.0, catalyst amount of 20 g/ml, extraction temperature of 60 ºC, and extraction time of 45.01 minutes, with the predicted oil yield as 97.33% respectively which shows that the experimental values are in good agreement with predicted values.

The effect of cobalt on the structural properties of intermetallic Tb3(Fe28-xCox)V1.0with Nd3(Fe,Ti)29structure has been studied by using interatomic pair potentials obtained through the lattice inversion method. Calculated results show that the order of site preference of cobalt is 8j(Fe8), 4e(Fe11) and 2c(Fe1) which is in good agreement with experimental results. And the calculated lattice constants coincide quite well with experimental values. All these prove the effectiveness of interatomic pair potentials obtained through the lattice inversion method in the description of rare-earth materials.

A theory based on turbulent jet entrainment properties is presented for the prediction of unsteady end wall switching behavior in a bistable wall attachment fluid amplifier. Good agreement is obtained between theoretically predicted switching times and experimental results. The analysis also indicates the experimentally observed dwell phenomena and computed dwell times compare well with reported experimental values.

It is important to know the activity interaction parameters between components in melts in the process of metallurgy. However, it’s considerably difficult to measure them experimentally, relying still to a large extent on theoretical calculations. In this paper, the first-order activity interaction parameter (esj) of j on sulphur in Fe-based melts at 1873 K is investigated by a calculation model established by combining the Miedema model and Toop-Hillert geometric model as well as considering excess entropy and mixing enthalpy. We consider two strategies, with or without using excess entropy in the calculations. Our results show that: (1) the predicted values are in good agreement with those recommended by Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS); and (2) the agreement is even better when excess entropy is considered in the calculations. In addition, the deviations of our theoretical results from experimental values eS(exp)j-eS(cal)j depend on the element j’s locations in the periodic table.

AbstractThis paper presents the numerical simulations of flowfield over a typical Crew Module at Mach 4 for different angles-of-attack ranging from 0 to –25°. Detailed flow features such as contour of density gradient over the model, numerical oil flow and near wake vortex structures are captured very well in the present simulations. The location of the sonic line and its behaviour due to angles-of-attack is also captured in the simulations. TheCPdistribution on the windward and leeward side shows excellent match with the experimental results. Also, the prediction of aerodynamic coefficients shows very good agreement with the experimental results. The numerical simulation predictsCMcg,CNandCAwithin 8%, 4% and 3·5% respectively with respect to experimental values.

A simple analytical model for the mixing and combustion of an axisymmetric turbulent gaseous fuel jet discharging into a co-flowing streaming gaseous environment of an auxiliary fuel and/or a diluent homogeneously mixed with air is presented. A number of gaseous fuels and diluents are considered. It is shown that the combustion characteristics of a fuel jet can be modified significantly by the presence of a relatively small amount of a fuel in the surrounding air at concentrations well below the corresponding local flammability limits. Correlative procedures are presented for estimating changes in the flame length, the size of the combustion zone, and the blowout limits with changes in the type and concentration of the fuel in the surroundings. Predicted values showed generally good agreement with the corresponding experimental values.

A previously described experimentally based numerical procedure is used to characterize the flow in thin walled polyethylene tubes with uniformly spaced wall orifices (polytubes). The procedure evaluates the required supply pressure for specified geometry, supply flow, and supply swirl angle; and then predicts the pressure and discharge profiles along the polytube. The predicted values are in good agreement with reported experimental results and are used to develop a data base of the most significant ranges of polytube and supply parameters. Then, explicit design correlations and recommendations are obtained for satisfactory and economical performance.

Experimental results for a unique design of a two-spool pressure control valve were reported by Anderson (1984). The first stage is a dynamically stable flapper-nozzle valve for which a mathematical model is already available (Lin and Akers, 1989a). For the second stage, however, which consists of two parallel spools in a common body, no such model existed. The purpose of this paper was therefore to construct such a model and to compare results calculated from it to experimental values. Moderately good agreement with experimental values was obtained.

A simple approach is described for the calculation of the rich flammability limits of fuel-diluent mixtures in air for a wide range of initial temperatures based only on the knowledge of the flammability limit of the pure fuel in air at atmospheric temperature and pressure conditions. Various fuel-diluent mixtures that include the fuels methane, ethylene, ethane, propane, butane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, and the diluents nitrogen, carbon dioxide, helium, and argon have been considered. Good agreement is shown to exist between predicted values of the rich flammability limits and the corresponding available experimental values for the fuel-diluent mixtures.

The hydrodynamic parameters, namely, dispersed phase holdup and flooding throughput, have been investigated in 25 mm diameter pulsed disk and doughnut column (PDDC), in no mass transfer conditions. In this work, using existing correlations on plate pulsed columns, the dispersed phase holdup and the flooding throughput are empirically modelled well using the slip velocity concept. A good agreement is observed between experimental values and predicted values obtained from empirical correlation. The experimental data for dispersed phase holdup and flooding throughput has been modelled using the Van Delden model to describe the hydrodynamics characteristics of a PDDC and necessary adjustable parameters for drop size distribution and dispersed phase holdup are updated for 30% TBP-nitric acid system. The model parameters were estimated by minimizing the absolute error between experimental and theoretical values of flooding throughput and holdup data. It was found that the measured values and observed trends could be described accurately using this model after fitting holdup and flooding data. The error between the experimental and theoretical values of flooding throughput and holdup was found to be less than 10%.
