Abstract   Extended Oligopoly models will be introduced and examined in which the firms might face capacity limits, thresholds for minimal and maximal moves, and antitrust thresholds in the case of partial cooperation. Similar situation occurs when there is an additional cost of output adjustment, which is discontinuous at zero due to set-up costs. In these cases the payoff functions of the...

Introduction An understanding of how CO2 and H2O interact and affect each other’s behavior on adsorbent surfaces is essential for both theoretical study and industrial processes especially CO2 capture from wet flue gas streams. There are few reported studies on adsorption equilibrium for such a binary system. Rege and Yang [1] measured very low concentration of CO2/H2O vapor (<4.1% relative hum...

Fixed-bed adsorption experiments of laboratory-scale were carried out to remove organic solvent vapors by Y-type zeolite adsorbent. Some of binary adsorption equilibria of azeotropic mixture-HSZ systems showed one or two azeotropic points. Breakthrough curve could be simulated using the Stop & Go method for these systems. INTRODUCTION Discharge of organic substances into air has been strongly p...

Adsorptive separation techniques are significantly energy efficient in comparison to conventional thermal such as distillation. Despite extensive research and development activities undertaken for mixed-gas adsorption, the use of adsorption multicomponent liquid mixtures is still limited. A major barrier lack accurate thermodynamic models, which form scientific foundation process simulation sys...

The kinetics of N2 adsorption onto gas phase Rhi+ clusters (i = 5–15) within 26 K He buffer have been investigated by Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry, with particular focus to i 5,6,7,9. limits m mmax [Rhi(N2)m]+ strongly depend on the size clusters. Some reveal an intermittent limit mx, which implies a rough cluster surface. Most smooth surfaces, consist Rh...
