A concept for capturing and sequestering CO2 from a natural gas fired combined cycle power plant is presented. The present approach is to decarbonise the fuel prior to combustion by reforming natural gas, producing a hydrogen-rich fuel. The reforming process consists of an air-blown pressurised auto-thermal reformer that produces a gas containing H2, CO and a small fraction of CH4 as combustible components. The gas is then led through a water gas shift reactor, where the equilibrium of CO and H2O is shifted towards CO2 and H2. The CO2 is then captured from the resulting gas by chemical absorption. The gas turbine of this system is then fed with a fuel gas containing approximately 50% H2. In order to achieve acceptable level of fuel-to-electricity conversion efficiency, this kind of process is attractive because of the possibility of process integration between the combined cycle and the reforming process. A comparison is made between a “standard” combined cycle and the current process with CO2-removal. This study also comprise an investigation of using a lower pressure level in the reforming section than in the gas turbine combustor and the impact of reduced steam/carbon ratio in the main reformer. The impact on gas turbine operation because of massive air bleed and the use of a hydrogen rich fuel is discussed.

Floods are problems which become disasters if they persist for a long duration. Out of all kind of floods, a rainfall-induced flood is just a problem created by a lack of water storage methods, which can be eliminated if a better removal system is available. For flood avoidance, many methods have been used, out of which a dedicated drainage pipeline structure may facilitate better removal. This article shows the theory of cellular automata with its new application for flood avoidance using ground leveling. This article analyzes the performance of hexagonal shapes compared with a popular rectangle grid. The article also shows the impact of various layers on the size of the tank. This article provides knowledge towards the flood avoidance for a flood free smart city.

Nanomaterial is becoming an important adsorption or disinfection material for removing virus from drinking water. In this study, static and dynamic tests were used to examine adsorption and inhibition characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on two model viruses -- f2 and MS2 bacteriophage. Controlling variate method was used to systematically investigate the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of CNTs on two model viruses; as well as to find the impact of different CNTs dosages on adsorption effect; and then to study the inhibitory effect of CNTs.The results showed that: (1) The adsorption process of f2 and MS2 bacteriophage on CNTs corresponded well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics equation. Time to reach a saturation equilibrium adsorption is about 30min. (2) Both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm adequately described two adsorption processes which indicated that the removal mechanism of virus was a mix of monolayer and multilayer adsorption. (3)The dosage of a single removal system should not be too high in practical application. (4) The inhibition of CNTs on model viruses exhibited.
