The purpose of this study was to inves- tigate the co-pyrolysis characteristics of Yining coal and poplar sawdust, and to UDC 66.092-977-922(510):622.33 determine whether there is any synergistic effect in pyrolytic product yields. The coal was blended with sawdust at mass ratios of 9:1, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7 and 1:9. DOI 10.2298/CICEQ141125012Z The change of char yields, maximum weight loss rate and the corresponding temperature of different coal/sawdust blends during pyrolysis were compared by thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The total tar yields during pyrolysis of sep- arate coal and sawdust, as well as their blends, were acquired from the low temperature aluminum retort distillation test. From the comparison of experi- mental and theoretical values of the char yields from TG and tar yields from carbonization test, it was observed that co-pyrolysis of coal/sawdust blends produced less char and tar than the total amount produced by separate coal and sawdust pyrolysis. The different product distribution suggested that there was synergy effect in gas product yields. The co-pyrolysis of demineralized and devolatilized sawdust with coal indicated that the ash in the sawdust was the main contributor to the synergistic effect.

  • The Dimnum Package
    The dimnum package Miguel R. Clemente [email protected] v1.0.1 from 2021/04/05 Note: Prandtl number is redefined from the amsmath package. 1 Introduction This package simplifies the calling of Dimensionless Numbers in math or text mode. In Table 1 you can find all available Dimensionless Numbers. 2 Usage A Dimensionless number is composed of four items: the command, the symbol, the name, its identifier. You can call a Dimensionless Number in three distinct ways: by its symbol { using the command (i.e. \Ar { Ar). by its name (short version) { appending [s] to the command (i.e. \Bi[s] { Biot). by its name and identifier (long version) { appending [l] to the command (i.e. \Kn[l] { Knudsen number). Symbol, short and long versions, all work in math or text mode without the need of further commands. 1 Besides the comprehensive list of included Dimensionless Numbers, this pack- age also introduces a command to create new Dimensionless Numbers. Creating a Dimensionless Number is achieved by using \newdimnum{\command}{symbol}{name}{identifier} for example, to add the Morton number we write \newdimnum{\Mo}{Mo}{Morton}{number} The identifier can be left empty, such as in the case of Drag Coefficient \newdimnum{Cd}{\ensuremath{C_d}}{Drag Coefficient}{} in this example we also introduce an important command. When the Dimension- less Number symbol is always expressed in math mode { either by definition or the use of subscripts or superscripts { we add \ensuremath{} to encompass the symbol, ensuring a proper representation of the Dimensionless Number. You can add your own Dimensionless Numbers to your projects.

    Extended Lee Model for the Turbine Meter & Calibrations with Surrogate Fluids This article can be found published in Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 2012; 24: 71 − 82 Jodie G. Pope, John D. Wright, Aaron N. Johnson and Michael R. Moldover National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA Tel: 301-975-4586, Fax: 301-258-9201, E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract: We developed a physical model termed the “extended Lee model” for calibrating turbine meters to account for 1) fluid drag on the rotor, 2) bearing static drag and 3) bearing viscous drag. We tested the extended Lee model using a dual rotor, 2.5 cm diameter turbine meter and accurate flow measurements spanning a 200:1 flow range (50 Re 109,000) with liquid mixtures spanning a 42:1 kinematic viscosity range (1.2 × 106 m2/s ν 50 × 106 m2/s). For Re > 3500, the model correlates the volumetric flow data within 0.2 %. For Re 3500, deviations from the model increase, reaching 3.6 % at the lowest flows. The same data has a maximum deviation of 17 % from the commonly used Strouhal versus Roshko (or Re) correlation. For all the mixtures tested, the static bearing friction dominates the rotor’s behavior when Re < 1350 and it results in corrections as large as 51 % of the calibration factor. In a second set of experiments, we compared our calibration using Stoddard solvent (a kerosene-like hydrocarbon with ν 1.2 × 106 m2/s at 21 °C) with our calibrations using four different mixtures of propylene glycol and water (PG+W).

Nanyang Technological University Library Abstract ABSTRACT The aerodynamic characteristics of the single-lobe forced mixer have been extensively examined in the present dissertation. Nine single-lobe models with different parameters and geometry configurations were designed and fabricated. Penetration angles, lobe wavelengths, trailing edge configurations and modifications vary from case to case. Flat plate (to simulate plane free shear layer) and convoluted plate (to generate normal K-H vortex without streamwise vortex) have also been tested as baselines for comparison. Two velocity ratios, i.e., r =1: 1 and 0.4: 1 and Reynolds numbers (based on the wavelength of the basic single-lobe forced mixer) ranged from 9,200 to 40,000 have been chosen and tested.

The continual change of flow separation points positions on the obstacle sur- face generates the vortices in downstream flow within a phenomenon called vortex shedding, which was originally discussed by Mr. von K´arm´an. Be- cause of this continuous relocation of separation points on the obstacle sur- face, both the pressure and forces differ in an unstable scenario on the ob- stacle surface.
