Residence time distribution (RTD) is of significance for reflecting materials or intermediate products dispersion and actual reaction time inside continuous hydrothermal reactors of supercritical water gasification technology. Generally, RTD is strictly related to flow field, which can be affected by wall heating schemes. In order to propose methods to regulating RTD, effects of different heating schemes on flow and RTD characteristics are investigated and compared by numerical simulation. The results indicate that increasing heat flux, interrupting boundary flow by interlace heating, and setting cooling walls can significantly regulate RTD. By analyzing the correspondence of flow and RTD, the mechanisms of increasing materials and intermediate products dispersion can be attribute to the increase of flow instability and the generation of additional vortices. For example, in the cases of present work, the narrow-strip double-vortex generated by mixing between thermal boundary flow and branch flow may significantly increase average residence time and materials distribution range from 10.93 s and 1.00 to 22.83 s and 1.51. In the region above branch inlet without time-averaged vortex structure, the increasing of flow instability caused by wall heating is observed to widen materials distribution range from 0.75 to 0.99. Heating scheme customized according to these mechanisms can regulating RTD as expected, proving the feasibility and significance of regulating RTD by heating schemes.

In the process of pyrolysis and combustion of coal particles, coal structure evolution will be affected by the ash behavior, which will further affect the char reactivity, especially in the ash melting temperature zone. Lu’an bituminous char and ash samples were prepared at the N_(2) and air atmospheres respectively across ash melting temperature. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of char and ash. The specific surface area (SSA) analyzer and thermogravimetric analyzer were respectively adopted to obtain the pore structure characteristics of the coal chars and combustion parameters. Besides, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was applied to investigate the graphitization degree of coal chars prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures. The SEM results indicated that the number density and physical dimension of ash spheres exuded from the char particles both gradually increased with the increasing temperature, thus the coalescence of ash spheres could be observed obviously above 1100℃. Some flocculent materials appeared on the surface of the char particles at 1300℃, and it could be speculated that β-Si_(3)N_(4) was generated in the pyrolysis process under N_(2). The SSA of the chars decreased with the increasing pyrolysis temperature. Inside the char particles, the micropore area and its proportion in the SSA also declined as the pyrolysis temperature increased. Furthermore, the constantly increasing pyrolysis temperature also caused the reactivity of char decrease, which is consistent with the results obtained by XRD. The higher combustion temperature resulted in the lower porosity and more fragments of the ash.

Supercritical water gasification driven by solar energy is a promising way for clean utilization of biomass with high moisture content, but direct discharge of liquid residual causes energy waste and decreases energy efficiency. To reduce energy waste, a poly-generation system for hydrogen-rich gas production coupling heat supply and power generation based on supercritical water gasification of biomass driven by concentrated solar energy was established in this paper, which also provided a novel energy storage method to overcome the shortcomings of solar discontinuity. Thermodynamic model of the system was proposed and life cycle assessment(LCA) of the system was conducted. Influence of different parameters(temperature of 600℃ to 800℃, outlet temperature of heat exchanger of 42℃ to 56℃, biomass slurry concentration of 5% to 6.5%) on the gasification performance, energy and exergy efficiency, energy distribution and global warming potential(GWP) was discussed. The results indicated that hydrogen yield increased as gasification temperature increased since free radical reaction was enhanced which gas production reaction was classified into. Molar fraction of hydrogen increased as gasification temperature increased and reached 65.6% at 750℃. Energy and exergy efficiency of the system reached 74.84% and 34.87% at 700℃ and 600℃ respectively and that of gas production was 18.15% at 650℃, which was the highest. Increasing reaction temperature and decreasing biomass slurry concentration were effective ways to decrease GWP. Optimal operating parameter was reaction temperature of 650℃, outlet temperature of heat exchanger of 50℃ and biomass concentration of 5%.

The coarse graining of particle cluster is of great significance to the study of a fluidized bed. The effects of variations in the physical properties of supercritical water on the coarse graining of particle cluster are investigated in this work. The drag coefficient distributions of the particle cluster are not influenced by the physical properties. However, the physical properties have effects on the values of drag coefficient. The effects of physical properties are weaker in the case of large particle concentrations. Furthermore, the physical properties lead to that the effect of particle cluster wake on the drag of downstream particles being significantly different from that of constant property flow. The variation trend of drag of coarse graining particle is consistent with that of isolated particle. The physical properties lead to significant differences in the values of drag. In this paper, the dominance of the effects of physical properties in a variety of cases is confirmed. Finally, a physical properties effect model is developed accordingly.

Two-dimensional graphene nanopores have shown great promise as ultra-permeable molecular sieves based on their size-sieving effects. We design a nitrogen/hydrogen modified graphene nanopore and conduct a transient non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation on its molecular sieving effects. The distinct time-varying molecular crossing numbers show that this special nanopore can efficiently sieve CO_2 and H_2S molecules from CH_4 molecules with high selectivity. By analyzing the molecular structure and pore functionalization-related molecular orientation and permeable zone in the nanopore, density distribution in the molecular adsorption layer on the graphene surface, as well as other features, the molecular sieving mechanisms of graphene nanopores are revealed. Finally, several implications on the design of highly-efficient graphene nanopores, especially for determining the porosity and chemical functionalization, as gas separation membranes are summarized based on the identified phenomena and mechanisms.
