Droplets enclosed by elastic interfaces can be extensively found in nature and engineering applications. For instance, oil-water droplets in petroleum engineering can be surrounded by Asphaltene thin film;biological cells are usually surrounded by elastic biological membranes consisting of lipid bilayers with spectrin proteins;droplets enclosed by polymer membranes or lipid bilayers are also widely found in materials science and engineering. This type of droplets is also an excellent structure for encapsulation, transport and release of active agents due to the presence of elastic interface, thus they are widely used in applications such as cosmetics and drug delivery. To study the deformation behavior of single droplet enclosed by complex interfaces under shear flow is fundamental for understanding rheological characteristics of droplet suspensions and for developing droplet-based substance transport technologies. The presence of various molecules confers the drop interfaces various special mechanical properties, such as resistances to shear deformation, area dilatation and bending deformation. Those special mechanical properties significantly influence the transport characteristics of momentum and energy between droplets and surrounding fluids, thus conventional theories based on surface tension are no longer valid for understanding the dynamics of droplets enclosed by elastic interfaces. Generally, the deformation of droplets enclosed by elastic interfaces under shear flow is mainly governed by the coupling of fluid inertia, interface elasticity and fluid viscosity. Current literatures mostly focus on the deformation of drops with elastic interfaces with inertia neglected, which is based on the assumption of Stokes flow. However, the effects of fluid inertia are of great importance in many cutting edge technologies and in vivo bioprocesses, such as inertial microfluidic technologies for separation and manipulation of droplets, blood flow with moderate Reynolds nu

Low temperature corrosion is one of the key issues in application of low-low temperature electrostatic precipitator. The concentration of SO3 affects the acid dew point temperature of flue gas. The exhaust temperature after the air preheater should be higher than the acid dew point temperature. The residual heat of flue gas is fully utilized by the low-temperature economizer. The efficiency of low-low temperature electrostatic precipitator is improved by the comprehensive effect of the condensation of SO3 on the surface of the fine particles, the decrease of the specific resistance of the particles and the agglomeration of the fine particles.

As an established method to analyse the thermodynamic process inside the cylinder, the p-V diagram can identify typical faults such as leakages through the sealing rings and self-acting valves, loosening and fluttering of the vales, etc. However, the installation of the pressure sensor within the cylinder for recording the p-V diagram may lead to degradation of the cylinder integrity, and hereby potential leakage and lowered strength of the cylinder. This paper presents a new non-destructive method for fault diagnosis of the reciprocating compressor by measuring the piston rod strain, from which the p-V diagram was transformed. An algorithm for reconstruction of the p-V diagram was proposed based on the key feature points on the piston rod load curve that reflect the opening and closing events of the compressor valves. The reconstruction method was validated by comparing the calculated p-V diagrams with the experimental results. The reconstructed p-V diagrams were further used for fault diagnosis of the reciprocating compressors, with which the acoustic emission method was integrated. The results show that this method can easily monitor the working conditions and identify whether and where leakage, fluttering and delayed closing of the valves occur, which indicates that this method can be utilized as a powerful tool of non-destructive condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of the reciprocating compressors.

The V-Cone flowmeter is a promising differential pressure flowmeter for metering the cryogenic fluid for its many advantages. When the cryogen velocity increases to a certain value, the cavitation may occur in flowmeter, which may significantly affect the performance of V-Cone flowmeter. However, the effect of cavitation on performance of V-Cone flowmeter remains unclear and there are no published studies to our knowledge on this issue. Here we investigate the performance of V-Cone flowmeter when measuring the cryogenic fluids, especially the effects of cavitation on the discharge coefficient and pressure loss coefficient of the flowmeter. Two cryogenic fluids are investigated, including liquid nitrogen (LN2) and liquid hydrogen (LH2). For comparison, the water is also investigated. The realizable κ-ε model is used to describe the turbulence. The Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model is used to investigate the effect of cavitation on the performance of the V-Cone flowmeter. The results show that there was little effect of cavitation on the discharge coefficient and pressure loss coefficient at the initial stage of cavitation. When the cloud cavitation occurred downstream of V-Cone, the discharge coefficient decreases rapidly with Reynolds number increasing, while the pressure loss coefficient rises quickly. The average discharge coefficient is almost the same for different fluids in the stable region; while the cryogenic fluids have wider stable Reynolds number ranges than the water. The lower limits of the Reynolds number for the constant discharge coefficient is very close for three fluids, however, for the upper limits of Reynolds number are quite different. We conclude that measurement range of the cryogenic fluid is much larger than that of the water, which shows that the V-Cone flowmeter exhibits great potential in the measurement of cryogenic fluid. This study provides insights into the effect of cavitation on the measurement of V-Cone flowmeter and opens a new aven

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) spinel has been found to produce C 2 −C 4 hydrocarbons in a single-step, ambient-pressure, photocatalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 with a rate of 1.1 mmol g −1 h −1 , selectivity of 29.8 % and conversion yield of 12.9 %. On stream the CoFe 2 O 4 reconstructs to a CoFe−CoFe 2 O 4 alloy-spinel nanocomposite which facilitates the light-assisted transformation of CO 2 to CO and hydrogenation of the CO to C 2 −C 4 hydrocarbons. Promising results obtained from a laboratory demonstrator bode well for the development of a solar hydrocarbon pilot refinery.
