in this work an analytical equation of state has been employed to calculate the pvt properties ofternary refrigerant mixtures. the theoretical eos is that of ihm, song and mason, which is based onstatistical-mechanical perturbation theory, and the two constants are enthalpy of vaporization δhvapand molar density ρnb, both at the normal boiling temperature. the following three temperaturedepende...

Steam reforming reaction heat effects were implemented in CFD simulations of different packed tube models of 1-hole and 4-hole cylinders. A computationally less expensive 120◦ wall segment approach was utilized for the simulations in this study. Heat effects of the reactions were introduced by heat generation/consumption terms in the catalyst particles considering suitable reaction kinetics pro...

We show in detail how the presence of a heat bath of photons effectively gives charged particles in the final state of a decay process a temperature-dependent mass, and changes the effective strength of the force responsible for the decay. At low temperature, gauge invariance causes both these effects to be largely cancelled by absorption of photons from the heat bath and by stimulated emission...

The relationship between heat release rate and other fire reaction properties of fibre reinforced polymer composite materials is investigated. The heat release rate and fire reaction properties of thermoset matrix composites reinforced with combustible fibres (aramid, extended-chain polyethylene) or non-combustible fibres (glass, carbon) were determined over a range of heat flux levels using th...

The propagation of a reaction front through a packed bed is analyzed theoretically. The chemical reaction rate is represented by Arrhenius temperature kinetics with external transfer limitation and general power law dependency on both gaseous and solid reactant concentrations. Analogous to so-called “Activation Energy Asymptotics” developed for premixed laminar flames, the largeness of the acti...

A particle reaction model including mass and heat transfer has been developed to know the temperature variations produced inside the oxygen carrier particles during the cyclic reduction and oxidation reactions taking place in a Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) system. The reactions of the different oxygen carriers based on Cu, Co, Fe, Mn, and Ni during the reduction with fuel gas (CH4, CO, and...
