The NaCaA-85 zeolite sample which works as an efficient adsorbent for CO2 at RT and in low pressure range was found and its specificity is nicely explained by the model composed of CO2 pinned by two types of Ca2+ ions through far-IR and DFT studies.

AbstractIt is intended to model mathematically an ideal whirlwind which characterises this geo-physical phenomenon and eventually helps us decode the inherent dynamics. A dense cylindrical aerial mass is taken into consideration surrounding a rarer aerial region in order to keep a radial favourable gradient of pressure to sustain a rotational motion. It has been concluded that the whirlwind will survive as long as the low pressure region exists. The vertical pressure gradient also plays an equally important role. Since it is not connected to any cloud and the axial velocity is in the vertically upward direction, the momentary vertical gradient of pressure is required for its growth and survival. Horizontal ambient winds that rush towards low pressure zone, crush the air in the buffer zone, and turn vertically upward may also take the dust carried with them visibly to some height. It is considered that the angular azimuthal velocity varies within the annulus. An inference is that no whirlwind without a low pressure region within it can survive. This may be termed as the fundamental characteristic of whirlwind. It is further concluded that if the radial pressure difference between the outermost and innermost layers is larger, the whirlwind is thicker and consequently, it will last longer. Moreover, another conclusion arrived at is that the angular velocity will vanish if the inner radius is zero.

The unsteady behavior and three-dimensional flow structure of spike-type stall inception in an axial compressor rotor have been investigated by experimental and numerical analyses. Previous studies have revealed that the test compressor falls into a mild stall after emergence of a spike, in which multiple stall cells, each consisting of a tornado-like vortex, are rotating. However, the flow mechanism from the spike onset to the mild stall remains unexplained. The purpose of this study is to describe the flow mechanism of a spike stall inception in a compressor. In order to capture the transient phenomena of spike-type stall inception experimentally, an instantaneous casing pressure field measurement technique was developed, in which 30 pressure transducers measure an instantaneous casing pressure distribution inside the passage for one blade pitch at a rate of 25 samplings per blade passing period. This technique was applied to obtain the unsteady and transient pressure fields on the casing wall during the inception process of the spike stall. In addition, the details of the three-dimensional flow structure at the spike stall inception have been analyzed by a numerical approach using the detached-eddy simulation (DES). The instantaneous casing pressure field measurement results at the stall inception show that a low-pressure region starts traveling near the leading edge in the circumferential direction just after the spiky wave was detected in the casing wall pressure trace measured near the rotor leading edge. The DES results reveal the vortical flow structure behind the low-pressure region on the casing wall at the stall inception, showing that the low-pressure region is caused by a tornado-like separation vortex resulting from a leading-edge separation near the rotor tip. A leading-edge separation occurs near the tip at the onset of the spike stall and grows to form the tornado-like vortex connecting the blade suction surface and the casing wall. The casing-side leg of the tornado-like vortex generating the low-pressure region circumferentially moves around the leading-edge line. When the vortex grows large enough to interact with the leading edge of the next blade, the leading-edge separation begins to propagate, and then, the compressor falls into a stall with decreasing performance.

Die Compaction

The existing density-pressure laws for a powder undergoing die compaction fit experimental data very well except for the low-pressure end of curves for some materials (SiC, Al2O3). To improve this, density - pressure relationship was modified by considering the internal friction and cohesion. For constant internal friction and vanishing cohesion, the modified relationship became mathematically equivalent to the existing one. For density-dependent friction, the modified and original relationships were able to provide nearly the same densities at medium and higher pressures but slightly different values at the low-pressure region.

Membrane Processes

The application of the concepts in oil and gas distillation to membrane desalination process to lower the energy cost for seawater desalination was studied in this paper. Drawing on the close analogy between multistage RO and conventional distillation separation processes, a hybrid membrane processes employing reflux and recycle concepts was developed. Reflux in membrane processes involves taking a portion of the effluent stream on the high pressure side and sending it to the low pressure side of the membrane, while recycle involves taking a portion of the permeate stream on the low pressure side and sending it to the high pressure side of the membrane. A predictive model was developed to study the effect of reflux and recycle on the specific energy consumption (SEC) and permeate quality when compared to conventional systems. In this study, the water permeability coefficients of membranes and brine recycle ratios were investigated. The results show that the SEC for a hybrid membrane processes comprising of RO and NF membrane was lower than conventional methods with the same recovery and feed concentration, suggesting that it is feasible to apply reflux and recycle concepts of distillation on desalination. Through the careful selection of RO membranes and NF membranes, benefits of reflux and recycle can be enjoyed for seawater desalination.
