Fluid-solid reaction of porous particles is pivotal to many modern chemical industries from heterogeneous catalysis to solid gasification. Most studies usually assume the particles are spherical, and the morphology of the shrinking reaction fronts inside particles are invariant. However, the developed models cannot explain the recent experimental observations of the non-spherical particles reaction, and lead to significant estimation errors of reaction rate. Here, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) reaction-diffusion model inside the irregular-shaped particles, and investigate the universal fluid-solid reaction kinetics. Intrapore homogenous reactions, multi-species diffusion, the sphericity (φ) and 3D roundness (R3d) evolution of the reaction front morphology are fully accounted for. The numerical method has been experimentally validated. When compared with spherical particles, we found that particles have higher heat and species transfer efficiency with fluids through the irregular-shaped particle surfaces, and higher reaction rate through the irregular-shaped reaction fronts. Thus, the invariant reaction front morphology assumption overestimates the fluid-solid reaction rate by up to 52%, while the spherical particle assumption underestimates the reaction rate by up to 42%. A corrected correlation is thereby proposed to better estimate the average reaction rate and complete reaction time of the irregular-shaped particles. The underestimation of reaction rate by the spherical particle assumption is inversely proportional to φ1.7 of the initial particle morphology, and directly proportional to [[EQUATION]]. The present work provides an accurate theoretical method for the fluid-solid reaction kinetics, and a detailed description of the reaction front inside particles. © 2023, The Authors.

In this paper, the dew point and liquid phase composition of H 2 /CO 2 and H 2 /CO 2 /N 2 mixtures at phase equilibrium calculated by PR-BM equation and Van Der Waal mixing rule with commercial MATLAB software are introduced, it is of theoretical significance for the wide application of the products of supercritical water gasification. First, the results obtained by the self-programming code are verified with the experimental data, the experimental data and simulation results of two kinds of CO 2 /H 2 mixtures and two kinds of CO 2 /N 2 /H 2 mixtures were compared. The average percentage deviation was 2.69%, 4.05%, 2.22%, 1.20%, respectively. Thus the absolute deviations of the mixtures are within the acceptable range, therefore, the model proposed in this paper can well predict the dew point of the mixtures composed of H 2 /CO 2 or H 2 /CO 2 /N 2 .Afterwards, the dew point and the CO 2 content in the liquid phase of common H 2 /CO 2 and H 2 /CO 2 /N 2 vapor mixtures in supercritical water gasification products were predicted, and a series of analysis and discussion were conducted on the predicted results finally.

Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) is one of the major design-basis accidents in LWRs. Fuel rod may fail due to the rupture of the cladding. By developing a LOCA simulation module, the steady-state fuel rod performance analysis code, FROBA-ROD, is now capable to predict fuel rod behaviors under a LOCA transient. The relevant models and the code was verified and validated by comparing with authoritative commercial codes and with the experimental measurements. Comprehensive calculations and analyses of fuel rod behaviors under different LOCA transients were performed by the new version of FROBA-ROD. Compared the failure conditions to the non-failure conditions through the simulation results, a cladding failure threshold equation was found for a better estimate of the integrity of high burnup fuel rods under LOCA transients. © 2021 Xi'an Jiaotong University

Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability theory is extensively used to predict the transition from stratified flow to slug flow. This study developed a one-dimensional (1-D) model based on K-H theory and considering the variation of axial wave amplitude to predict the transition from stratified flow to condensation-induced water hammer (CIWH). The prediction results of the present model were compared with the experimental data and the results of Taitel’s model. The comparison shows that the present model could reasonably predict critical instability, which is the boundary between stratified flow and CIWH. Critical instability is divided into three types according to the wave amplitude of critical instability. Critical instability occurs at the upper limit, middle, and starting point of the exponential growth of wave amplitude under low, medium, and high liquid levels. The effects of major parameters, including liquid level, water temperature, pipe diameter, and pipe length, on the critical inlet steam velocity and position of critical instability were analyzed. When the liquid level increases, the critical inlet steam velocity decreases, then increases, and then decreases, and the position of critical instability moves downstream, then upstream, and finally turns to the steam inlet. The effect of water temperature, pipe diameter, and pipe length on the critical instability depends on the liquid level and is complex. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Understanding the nonlinear effects in thermoacoustic heat engines operating under high-pressure amplitude conditions plays a crucial role in improving their operational performance and efficiency. The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method has several advantages, including high accuracy, adaptability, efficiency, and the ability to handle the coupling of multiple physical fields, making it suitable for accurately simulating the flow and heat transfer characteristics in thermoacoustic engines. The simulation code was developed based on MFEM, an open-source C++ library for modular finite element methods. The fully compressible Navier-Stokes equations and Fourier heat conduction equation were solved to investigate the nonlinear effects, which cannot be captured by the linear theory. To verify the accuracy of the simulation code, the numerical investigation of the thermoacoustic wave propagations induced by thermal effects in a square enclosure was first conducted. The simulation results presented the details of the generation and propagation of thermoacoustic waves, which were largely consistent with the results obtained using the flux-corrected transport (FCT) algorithm. Second, a quarter-wavelength standing wave thermoacoustic engine was simulated. The simulation results captured the process of pressure wave generation in the thermoacoustic engine, which was consistent with the pressure wave generation process in the enclosure. The results revealed the flow and heat transfer characteristics and nonlinear effects in the thermoacoustic engine under high-pressure amplitudes, which were consistent with the results obtained using finite volume method. The simulation results showed that the DG method is an effective numerical method for simulating thermoacoustic engines. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) is one of the main pollutants in coal-fired power plants, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is widely applied to reduce NOx emissions. Coal-fired power plants should frequently change their output power to help the power grid to accommodate high penetration of intermittent renewable power. However, NOx emission transient overshoot often occurs in coal-fired power plants when coal-fired power plants dynamically change their output power. In this study, the dynamic models for a coal-fired power plant and SCR denitrification are developed. The fluegas temperature fluctuation is revealed as a key cause for the NOx emission transient overshoot. The change law of SCR reaction temperature during load cycling processes is obtained, and its prediction model based on neural network algorithm is developed. Then, an enhanced control strategy considering temperature fluctuation of SCR inlet fluegas is proposed, and denitrification performance with the original and enhanced control strategies during load cycling processes are compared. The results show that the transient overshoot of NOx outlet concentration is avoided during load cycling processes, and the maximum value of NOx emissions during loading down and loading up processes with the enhanced control strategy are 48.62 and 49.44 mg m−3, which decreases by 7.36 and 4.63 mg m−3 compared with the original control strategy, respectively. Moreover, when the enhanced control strategy is adopted, the cumulative NH3 consumption decreases by 0.48 and 11.84 g m−3 during loading down and loading up processes, respectively. © 2023, The Authors.

Long pipelines and risers are essential for transporting oil and gas from the seabed to offshore processing facilities. However, most research focuses on riser systems with short pipelines (≤ 400 m). A 29.1 m high S-shaped riser connecting a 1657 m horizontal pipe, which is comparable to the scale of industrial fields, is utilized for investigating the characteristics of severe slugging. Based on the visual data of gas-liquid interface evolution and the fluctuation of the riser's pressure, the flow pattern map is drawn. Long pipelines delay the liquid accumulation and prolong the severe slugging period. A new correlation for predicting the slugging period is proposed with a deviation of ±15%. The long pipeline provides sufficient compression space and aggravates the blowouts of liquid slugs. The maximum blowout velocity reaches 23 times the mixing velocity. The gas accumulated in the pipeline expands sharply, which causes the instability of the gas-liquid interface in the horizontal pipe and induces a large number of liquid slugs to flow into the riser, where the continuity blowdown of slugs appears. A slug-tracking model considering pressure and liquid holdup is established to precisely forecast the fluctuation of riser pressure during the slug continuity blowdown. © 2023, The Authors.

The parabolic trough solar receiver-reactors of methanol decomposition reaction (PTSRR-MDR) enable efficient hydrogen production with solar energy at users' end. Solar fluctuations affect the solar-to-chemical efficiency, hydrogen yield and system stability, indicating the necessity for an appropriate control strategy. In this study, dynamic and thermodynamic models of PTSRR-MDR with Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 as catalyst were developed. Results of thermodynamic analysis show that an optimal flow rate exists for methanol to achieve the maximum solar-to-chemical exergy efficiency of the PTSRR-MDR. The temperature increases sharply and exceeds the catalyst sintering temperature when the methanol flow rate decreases under its optimal value. Then, control objectives to achieve the maximum efficiency were obtained with a temperature of 3 °C to guarantee the PTSRR-MDR safety. Control strategies based on Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC), Forward-Feedback Control (FFC) and Ramp Control (RC) were evaluated under cloud shading/recovering and real radiation processes. Results show that strategies based on DMC, FFC, and RC increase the solar-to-chemical exergy efficiency from 14.76% to 16.31%, 16.28% and 15.65%, respectively. The Integral Squared Error (ISE) for methanol conversion rate under three methods are 1.46, 0.32 and 5.28, respectively, indicating that strategy based on FFC is considered most suitable for PTSRR-MDR operation control. © 2023, The Authors.
