The results showed that some of the heavy nonvolatile oil droplets entrained in the flowing oil and gas mixture could possibly deposit or collide on the walls by gravity settling or turbulence diffusion, and then were gradually carbonized into solid coke by condensing and polymerization along with dehydrogenation. Meanwhile some of fine catalyst particles also built up and integrated into the solid coke. The coke can be classified into two types, namely, the hard coke and the soft coke, according to its property, composition and microstructure. The soft coke is formed in the oil and gas mixture's stagnant region where the oil droplets and catalyst particles are freely settled on the wall. The soft coke appears to be loose and contains lots of large catalyst particles. However, the hard coke is formed in the oil and gas mixture's flowing region where the oil droplets and catalyst particles diffuse towards the wall. This kind of coke is nonporous and very hard, which contains a few fine catalyst particles. Therefore, it is clear that the oil and gas mixture not only carries the oil droplets and catalyst particles, but also has the effects on their deposition on the wall, which can influence the composition and characteristics of deposited coke.展开更多

A flow channel in this study has same characters as actual HVAC unit, such as bent rectangular duct, a heater unit and a flow control door. The experiment was carried out to obtain verification data for analysis by using PIV （particle image velocimetry） system. Moreover, temperature map in the channel was also obtained by using thermocouples. Reynolds number is set to 12800. As a result of this study, representative velocity distributions and Reynolds stress distributions were obtained. It was found that stress value is quite high （maximum 1.4） by preliminary turbulence and mixture in the duct. In addition, it was also found that temperature diffusion is promoted by mixing around door.展开更多

To solve this model, a new 3-layer cultural evolving algorithm framework which has a population space, a medium space and a belief space is firstly conceived. Standard differential evolution algorithm(DE), genetic algorithm(GA), and particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO) are embedded in this framework to build 3-layer mixed cultural DE/GA/PSO(3LM-CDE, 3LM-CGA, and 3LM-CPSO) algorithms. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithms are firstly tested in 20 benchmark nonlinear constrained functions. Then, the operational optimization model for syngas production in a Texaco coal-water slurry gasifier of a real-world chemical plant is solved effectively. The simulation results are encouraging that the 3-layer cultural algorithm evolving framework suggests ways in which the performance of DE, GA, PSO and other population-based evolutionary algorithms(EAs) can be improved,and the optimal operational parameters based on 3LM-CDE algorithm of the syngas production in the Texaco coalwater slurry gasifier shows outstanding computing results than actual industry use and other algorithms.展开更多

A high-resolution solver was performed for the gas-phase flow-field, particles with different Stokes numbers were traced by the Lagrangian approach based on one-way coupling. The processes of the vortex rolling up and pairing in the two-dimensional mixing layer were captured precisely. The large-scale structures developed from the initial inflow are characterized by the counter-rotating vortices. The mean velocity and the fluctuation intensities profiles agree well with the experimental data. Particles with smaller Stokes numbers accumulate at the vortex centers due to the smaller aerodynamic response time; particles with moderate Stokes numbers tend to orbit around individual streamwise vortices and in the periphery of paring vortices; particles with larger Stokes numbers disperse less evenly, showing a concentration distribution in the flow field.展开更多

It is supposed that dusty gas be a mixture of perfect gas and micro solid particles. Equilibrium flow condition is supposed to be maintained and energy is varying which is continuously supplied by inner expanding surface. It is found that similarity solution exists under the constant initial density. The comparison between the solutions obtained in gravitating and non-gravitating medium is done. It is found that the shock strength increases with an increase in gravitational parameter or ratio of the density of solid particles to the initial density of the gas, whereas an increase in the radiation parameter has decaying effect on the shock waves.展开更多
