Slug flow is a highly intermittent flow regime in which large bubble slugs flow alternately with liquid slugs at randomly fluctuating frequency. A one-dimensional model for the interfacial structure in bubble slug was developed based on mass and momentum conservation for bubble nose, body and tail as well as for a hydraulic jump at the rear of the bubble. The model can reproduce experimental results accurately. The results indicate that the interfacial structure is strongly dependent on the Froude number defined by gas/liquid mixture velocity, pipe inclination, and bubble length.

In this article, comprehensive comparisons are made between the SIMPLER and IDEAL algorithms for four application examples. It is found that the IDEAL algorithm is efficient and stable not only for the simple, low-Re/Ra or coarse-mesh flow cases, but also for the complex, high-Re/Ra or fine-mesh flow cases. For the low-Re/Ra, coarse-mesh flow cases, the ratio of CPU time of IDEAL to that of SIMPLER ranges from 0.029 to 0.7. For the high-Re/Ra, fine-mesh flow cases, the IDEAL algorithm can obtain convergent results but the SIMPLER algorithm cannot, even though the underrelaxation factors are adjusted.

Considering the fact that proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell has different impedance performances under different discharge currents, a PEM fuel cell with single serpentine flow field was investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the R (QR) equivalent circuit was used to calculate the circuit element parameters. The experimental results show that water in the fuel cell increases from insufficient to sufficient and then excessive with the increasing discharge current. Accordingly, the electrochemical reaction rate on the electrodes increases first and then decreases, thus the charge transfer resistance decreases and then increases. The impedance of PEM fuel cell increases obviously for high discharge currents due to the accessional impedance produced by double-layer effect, while the impedance reaches minimum at medium discharge current (5 A).

Gasification is a clean technique that converts coal into syngas, which can be cleaned much more easily than the coal itself. The raw sysgas exiting the gasifier is usually at a very high temperature. To protect the rearward equipment, the raw syngas needs to be cooled to allow appropriate cleaning of particulates, ashes, and sulfur before it exits the gasifier. Cooling of the syngas can be performed by employing heat exchangers or direct spray cooling. This paper focuses on conducting a 3-D CFD parametric study to aid in the design of an effective water spray cooling deployment. The studied parameters include water droplet sizes (100400m) and water injection angles. The goal is to cool the syngas from 1550C to 800C using the shortest spray section. The gasifier is designed to produce methanol at a full load condition, so the amount of sprayed water is fixed to ensure the syngas composition meets the specifications for methanol production. The gasifier is steam-oxygen blown with dry coal feed using approximately 960 tons per day. The results reveal that smaller droplets are effective in reducing the cooling section length. Moreover, using three water injection angles show that inclining the spraying angle upward 45 degrees could shorten the effective cooling length. This study provides a guide for cutting the cost of manufacturing a gasifier cooling section.
