The supercritical water fluidized bed is widely used for hydrogen production from gasified biomass. This paper utilizes a two-fluid model (TFM) to simulate the thermochemical process of biomass in the supercritical water fluidized bed, focusing on evaluating the validity of different scaling-up laws for the studied reactor. The H 2 yields of the glucose-xylose-guaiacol reaction system scaled up with the simplified dimensionless parameter set are 12.36 %, 13.57 %, and 24.27 % higher than those of the glucose reaction system scaled up with the simplified dimensionless parameter set, and 11.4 %, 13.88 % and 24.13 % higher than those of the glucose reaction system scaled up with the viscosity-limited dimensionless parameter set, respectively. For a supercritical water fluidized bed reactor, the dimensionless parameters < Re s , Fr = (u 0 ) 2 /(gL 0 ) , ρ s /ρ f , u 0 /u mf , L 1 /L 2 and Φ > are essential for scale-up of the reactor, particularly the gas-solid density ratio and solids Reynolds number. It is also demonstrated that the volumetric fraction of bubbles plays a significant role in enhancing the mass transfer between different phases and can effectively promote the H 2 yield by approximately 0.5 mol/kg. The turbulence intensity of the supercritical water exerts a mild influence on the H 2 yield.
Stirred tanks play a pivotal role in material blending, yet there is still a lack of data on inner complex blending mechanism, especially involving heterogeneous particle swarm with different shape combinations. This ...

This study investigates the size-induced axial segregation of binary mixtures in rotating drums, particularly focusing on the effect of drum length. The results indicate that long drums require more time to achieve stable segregation and form more segregation bands. The core region under the free bed surface remains predominantly filled with small particles, indicating that radial segregation occurs simultaneously with the axial segregation. The angle of repose of large particle bands is consistently greater than that of small particle bands, which drives the migration of large particles. Short drums are more sensitive to changes in rotational speed, while long drums with moderate rotational speed promote the formation of segregation bands. The width of small particle bands shows an increasing–decreasing-stabilizing trend with the drum length increasing. An analysis of particle velocities reveals that the characteristics of segregation bands are closely related to the relative velocity difference between large and small particles.

Highly oriented carbon fiber composites exhibit three-dimensional anisotropic thermophysical properties, making them candidates for thermal management applications. In this study, the thermal properties of highly oriented carbon fiber/epoxy resin (CF/ER) composites and their components were systematically investigated. The T-type probe method was employed to measure the pitch CF, while the 2ω method and the laser-spot-periodic-heating method were combined to characterize the E51-ER film and the composites. The impact of local fiber bending on heat transfer in the composites was also analyzed through finite element simulations. The results show that these composites exhibit high thermal conductivity along the fiber orientation with an anisotropy ratio of about 294. At different temperatures, the thermal conductivity along the fiber orientation is lower than the value predicted by the parallel model, while the conductivity in the other two directions is significantly higher than that predicted by the series model. Simulation results suggest that the bending of certain pitch CF can be a key factor contributing to this discrepancy.

Electrochromic smart windows can actively modulate their reversible transition between transparent and opaque states, adapting to varying climatic conditions and thereby offering a sustainable solution for energy-efficient buildings. However, the operational range of current electrochromic smart windows is mostly limited to the solar spectrum. Expanding this range into the mid-infrared spectrum could significantly enhance their energy-saving capabilities. In this study, a dynamic electrochromic (EC) glass that integrates silver electrodeposition/dissolution with mechanical flipping of the glass panel is designed. This design enables bidirectional dynamic modulation of both the solar spectrum (0.3-2.5 µm) and mid-infrared spectrum (2.5-20 µm), with solar reflectance varying between 87.9% and 19.9%, and mid-infrared emissivity varying between 90.6% and 10.8%. Consequently, the EC glass can dynamically switch between radiative cooling and solar heating modes. The simulation results show that the architectural application of this EC glass, with climate-specific operating modes, can achieve a maximum of over 50% annual heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) energy savings, contributing to carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
