The "Petlyuk" or "dividing-wall" or "fully thermally coupled" distillation column is an interesting alternative to the conventional cascaded binary columns for separation of multi-component mixtures. The industrial use has been very limited, and difficulties in control has been reported as one reason. Since we have more manipulated variables than controlled variables, the column is a candidate ...

Abstract: Temperature effect on quantum tunneling in a Cooper-pair-box coupled to a quantum oscillator is studied by both numerical and analytical calculations. It is found that, in strong coupling regions, coherent tunneling of a Cooper-pair-box can be destroyed by its coupling to a quantum oscillator and the tunneling becomes thermally activated as the temperature rises, leading to failure of...

The use of mass spectrometry/negative chemical ionization (MS/NCI), in combination with selected-ion monitoring, allows sensitive and selective determination of polar and thermally unstable herbicide residues by liquid chromatography coupled to a particle beam interface. The method has been applied to the analysis of soil samples for herbicide residues, using various procedures for their extrac...

Recently, on the assumption that the presence of the recycle stream in thermally coupled distillation schemes (TCDS) might origin a difficult operation, some alternate arrangements that might provide better operational properties have been proposed. In this work, on the framework of singular value analysis, control properties of two alternate schemes were assessed and compared with their corres...

In this article, we examined the behavior of chemical reaction effect on a magnetohydrodynamic Prandtl nanofluid flow due to stretchable sheet. Non-linear thermally radiative term is accounted in energy equation. Constructive transformation is adopted to formulate the ordinary coupled differential equations system. This system of equations is treated numerically through Runge Kutta Fehlberg-45 ...
