Temperature And Pressure

In previous papers the results of investigations into the influence of varying initial pressures up to 15-20 atmospheres on the spontaneous ignition of mixtures with air of butane, iso -butane, pentane, and hexane were described. On the attainment of a critical pressure, which varied both with the hydrocarbon concerned and the composition of its mixture with air, the ignition points were always found to fall sharply from a higher temperature range above 500°C to a lower range at about 300°C. At pressures just exceeding the critical transition pressures ignition occurred at first only within limited temperature ranges which widened and ultimately merged with increasing pressure. The striking relationship between the behaviours of the hydrocarbons referred to under the experimental conditions and their “knocking” propensities in an engine was also indicated. While the data available were inadequate for drawing any final con­clusion as to the character of the phenomena referred to, a tentative hypothesis was advanced that while ignition in the higher temperature range pertains mainly to the thermal decomponents of intermedially formed compounds, ignition in the lower system occurs when temperature and pressure conditions favour the survival and further oxidation of such bodies, particularly aldehydes.

In two recent communications we described the results of investigations into the influence of varying initial pressure up to 15 atmospheres on the spontaneous ignition of butane- and pentane-air mixtures, showing that in each case the ignition were located in two distinct and widely separated temperature ranges, location in the higher range occurring at low pressures and in the lower range at high pressures. Transference of an ignition point from the higher to the lower range occurred sharply, at a critical pressure, which depended upon the hydrocarbon concerned and the composition of its mixture with air. The bearing of these observations upon the problem of knock was also discussed. A wide range of explosive media, comprising mainly the higher hydrocarbons contained in liquid fuels, is now being systematically studied, and the present paper summarizes the results obtained for hexane- and isobutane-air mixtures. So far, our results support the view (also recently endorsed by Neumann and Estrovitch) that the lower group of ignition points is the outcome of the survival and further rapid oxidation of certain intermediate bodies, a process favoured by high pressure. whereas the higher group results from ignitions mainly of the products of their thermal decompositions which are favoured by low pressure.

In the present study the catalytic steam gasification of biomass to produce hydrogen-rich gas with calcined dolomite and Nano-NiO/γ-Al2O3 as catalyst in an externally heated fixed bed reactor was investigated. The influence of the catalyst and reactor temperature on gasification performance was studied at the temperature range of 700°C-900°C. Over the ranges of experimental conditions examined, Nano-NiO/γ-Al2O3 and calcined dolomite both revealed better catalytic performance, at the presence of steam, tar was completely decomposed as temperature increases from 800°C to 900°C. Higher temperature resulted in more H2 and CO2 production, and dry gas yield. The highest H2 content of 58.27V% and the highest H2 yield of 2.23 Nm3/ kg biomass were observed at the highest temperature level of 900°C.

The results of investigations on pyrolysis and oxidation of pure polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and its mixture with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) under non-isothermal conditions at linear change of samples temperature in time are presented. In each case process proceeded in different way. During pyrolysis of pure PAN the material containing mainly the product after PAN cyclization was obtained, while pyrolysis of PAN+DMF mixture gave the product after cyclization and stabilization. Under conditions of measurements, in both temperature ranges, series of gaseous products were formed.For the PAN-DMF system measurements at different samples heating rates were performed. The obtained results were in accordance with the kinetics of heterogeneous processes theory. The process rates in stages increased along with the temperature increase, and TG, DTG and HF function curves were shifted into higher temperature range. This means that the process of pyrolysis and oxidation of PAN in dry air can be carried out in a controlled way.http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.17.1.246

AbstractIn this study, varying amounts of NIPAAm and an ionic liquid (IL), namely 1-vinyl-3-isopropylimidazolium bromide ([ViPrIm]+[Br]−), have been used to synthesize hybrid hydrogels by radical emulsion polymerization. Amounts of 70/30%, 50/50%, 30/70%, 15/85% and 5/95% (wt/wt) of PIL/pNIPAAm were used to produce hybrid hydrogels as well as the parental hydrogels. The adhesive strength was investigated and evaluated for mechanical characterization. Thermal properties of resulting hydrogels have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in a default heating temperature range (heating rate 10 K min−1). The presence of poly ionic liquids (PIL) in the polymer matrix leads to a moved LCST (lower critical solution temperature) to a higher temperature range for certain hybrid hydrogels PIL/pNIPAAm. While pNIPAAm exhibits an LCST at 33.9 ± 0.3°C, PIL/pNIPAAm 5/95% and PIL/pNIPAAm 15/85% were found to have LCSTs at 37.6 ± 0.9°C and 52 ± 2°C, respectively. This could be used for controlled drug release that goes along with increasing body temperature in response to an implantation caused infection.

ABSTRACTCorrosion behavior is a key issue in the assessment of disposal performance for activated waste such as spent fuel assemblies (i.e., hulls and end-pieces) because corrosion is expected to initiate radionuclide (e.g., C-14) leaching from such waste. Because the anticipated corrosion rate is extremely low, understanding and modeling Zircaloy (Zry) corrosion behavior under geological disposal conditions is important in predicting very long-term corrosion. Corrosion models applicable in the higher temperature ranges of nuclear reactors have been proposed based on considerable testing in the 523−633 K temperature range.In this study, corrosion tests were carried out to confirm the applicability of such existing models to the low temperature range of geological disposal, and to examine the influence of material, environmental, and other factors on corrosion rates under geological disposal conditions. A characterization analysis of the generated oxide film was also performed.To confirm applicability, the corrosion rate of Zry-4 in pure water with a temperature change from 303 K to 433 K was obtained using a hydrogen measuring technique, giving a corrosion rate for 180 days of 8 × 10-3 μm/y at 303 K.To investigate the influence of various factors, corrosion tests were carried out. The corrosion rates for Zry-2 and Zry-4 were almost same, and increased with a temperature increase from 303 K to 353 K. The influence of pH (12.5) compared with pure water was about 1.4 at 180 days at 303 K.

Complex Binder

In order to improve thermal and mechanical characteristics of a traditional binder with liquid glass a complex binder consisting of liquid glass, its hardener and alumina cement (“Gorkal 70” containing not less than 70 per cent of AI2O3) was tested. Sodium silicate and its solution effect on physical and mechanical properties of a new refractory complex binder (Table 1, Fig 2) were investigated. The results obtained show that compressive strength of binding compound with high quantity of sodium silicate (N3) is the lowest after it had been cured, dried and fired at 300–600°C (Fig 3). It was also found that the strength of a complex binder with small quantity of sodium silicate (N1) in the temperature range of 20–600°C is 2–3 times as high as that of a traditional binder with dispersed fire-clay. The study in the formation of the structure of a complex binders dilatometric tests have also been made. After initial heating at 80–500°C the compositions contracted (Fig 4) due to dehidratation. At the temperature range of 580–750°C the contraction of compositions continue due to reactions at the solid phase. The hypothesis of the hardening mechanism in the complex binder was proposed. Liquid glass tends to restrain the hydration of the alumina cement though hardeners and sodium silicate interaction result in the intense formation of sodium calcium hydrosilicates. Therefore, a complex binder contains less sodium silicate than a traditional one while being used at higher temperature.

The formation of hydrocarbons (HCs) upon interaction of metal and metal–carbon phases (solid Fe, Fe3C, Fe7C3, Ni, and liquid Fe–Ni alloys) with or without additional sources of carbon (graphite, diamond, carbonate, and H2O–CO2 fluids) was investigated in quenching experiments at 6.3 GPa and 1000–1400 °C, wherein hydrogen fugacity (fH2) was controlled by the Fe–FeO + H2O or Mo–MoO2 + H2O equilibria. The aim of the study was to investigate abiotic generation of hydrocarbons and to characterize the diversity of HC species that form in the presence of Fe/Ni metal phases at P–T–fH2 conditions typical of the upper mantle. The carbon donors were not fully depleted at experimental conditions. The ratio of H2 ingress and consumption rates depended on hydrogen permeability of the capsule material: runs with low-permeable Au capsules and/or high hydrogenation rates (H2O–CO2 fluid) yielded fluids equilibrated with the final assemblage of solid phases at fH2sample ≤ fH2buffer. The synthesized quenched fluids contained diverse HC species, predominantly light alkanes. The relative percentages of light alkane species were greater in higher temperature runs. At 1200 °C, light alkanes (C1 ≈ C2 > C3 > C4) formed either by direct hydrogenation of Fe3C or Fe7C3, or by hydrogenation of graphite/diamond in the presence of Fe3C, Fe7C3, and a liquid Fe–Ni alloy. The CH4/C2H6 ratio in the fluids decreased from 5 to 0.5 with decreasing iron activity and the C fraction increased in the series: Fe–Fe3C → Fe3C–Fe7C3 → Fe7C3–graphite → graphite. Fe3C–magnesite and Fe3C–H2O–CO2 systems at 1200 °C yielded magnesiowüstite and wüstite, respectively, and both produced C-enriched carbide Fe7C3 and mainly light alkanes (C1 ≈ C2 > C3 > C4). Thus, reactions of metal phases that simulate the composition of native iron with various carbon donors (graphite, diamond, carbonate, or H2O–CO2 fluid) at the upper mantle P–T conditions and enhanced fH2 can provide abiotic generation of complex hydrocarbon systems that predominantly contain light alkanes. The conditions favorable for HC formation exist in mantle zones, where slab-derived H2O-, CO2- and carbonate-bearing fluids interact with metal-saturated mantle.

Four different bag leathers, such as, Sheep Bag Leather (SBL), Buffalo Vegetable Tanned Leather (BVTL), Cow Drum Dyed Dry Milled Leather (CDDDML), and Cow Crocodile Print Leather (CCPL), were processed by different methods from respective wet-blues of Indian origin. Thermal degradation pro?le and mechanical properties of the samples were evaluated, and crosslink densities of each sample were measured by ?tment of Mooney-Rivlin equation on stress-strain plots. Morphological characteristics (e.g. ?bre structure, ?bre thickness, splitting etc.) of all the specimens were investigated by image analyses of SEM photomicrographs. The highest crosslinking density for BVTL was attributed to its higher ?bre and ?bril thicknesses coupled with rigorous retanning by vegetable tannins and syntans. Embossing at higher temperature and pressure reduced CCPL’s elongation-at-break value and hence stretchiness possibly due to the development of set properties within the CCPL matrix. SBL was noted to contain huge void spaces that increased its stretchiness, and melamine formaldehyde syntans showed pronounced in?uence in increasing the thermal resistance of both CCPL and CDDDML.Bangladesh J.
