Global and Detailed Calculation of Tube Wall Temperature in a Process Furnace Steam Superheater

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study presents a comparison between an iterative global model and multiple approaches to a new non‐iterative model with the purpose of predicting tube wall temperature of a superheater. The results show that the non‐iterative method achieves sufficient accuracy while improving the prediction of local temperature distribution and better ...

Transient thermal modelling of green anode cooling in the aluminium industry

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Summary of the methodology. Abstract Anodes, which are used in electrolytic aluminium production, are made by mixing dry aggregate (petroleum coke, rejected anodes, and butts) with coal tar pitch, compacting the resulting paste (green anode), and baking (baked anode). After compaction, the anodes are cooled to maintain their structural integrity before

Effect of different flue gas recirculation rates on low‐NOx combustion characteristics: A numerical simulation based on the combustion process of a gas boiler

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract NOx emissions from gas boilers severely impact the environment, and flue gas recirculation (FGR) technology can effectively reduce such emissions, yet the effects of different FGR rates on combustion performance and NOx formation remain unclear. This study thus used numerical simulation (via ANSYS Fluent, adopting the realizable k‐ε turbulence

Spatially resolved 23Na magnetic resonance dispersion measurement in porous media

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Quantitative 23Na MRI was employed to analyze dispersion in realistic core plug samples and was compared with the conventional breakthrough curve. 23Na MRI provided a more effective aassessment of core plug heterogeneity than the conventional method. Abstract Tracer tests are widely used in the petroleum industry to assess reservoir core plugs, relying

Composite membranes comprising of polymeric and molecular amines embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) matrices to facilitate CO2/H2 separation

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Polymeric and molecular amines embedded in hygroscopic matrices to facilitate CO2 transport for CO2/H2 separation. Abstract This work dealt with composite membranes comprising of polyvinylamine (PVAm) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for CO2/H2 separation via facilitated transport of CO2, where polymeric and ...

In‐situ asphaltene capture with iron oxide nanoparticles in steam‐assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) for improved recovery and partial upgrading of bitumen

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Key improvements obtained by incorporating nanoparticles into a lab‐scale SAGD process configuration. The bar plots show enhanced oil recovery, reduced viscosity, and increased asphaltene adsorption in nanoparticle‐assisted scenarios compared with conventional SAGD.

Microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis of textile wastes: Synergistic effects and product characteristics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.

Implementation of the E×B and Grad‐B Drift in the EMC3 Code and Verification Using the Method of Manufactured Solutions

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective management of particle and power exhaust is essential for fusion reactor operation, requiring accurate 3D modeling of divertor physics. The EMC3 code is a well‐established Monte Carlo tool for plasma transport in stellarator edge regions, but until now lacked E×B$$ E\times B $$ and diamagnetic drifts.
