alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is essentially an irreversible and second order reaction. industrial importance of the reaction product, sodium acetate, necessitate for process improvement in terms of maximum conversion and economical usage of raw materials. statistical design of experiments was utilized to enhance conversion in both batch and plug flow reactors.a full two level factorial ...

When people are reasoning about an unfamiliar domain, they often appear to use analogies, as in the above example from a protocol. Analogies are also used in teaching, as in the following excerpt: The idea that electricity flows as water does is a good analogy. Picture the wires as pipes carrying water (electrons). Your wall plug is a high-pressure source which you can tap simply by inserting a...

During the pretreatment of cellulosic biomass for subsequent microbial or enzymatic processing, the fiber reactivity typically increases with increasing severity but so does sugar degradation. Experimental results with sugarcane bagasse show that this tradeoff can be mitigated substantially by pretreatment in a flow-through (FT) mode. A model that incorporates both kinetics and mass transfer wa...

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to calculate the conversion and the residence time reaction for plug flow and mixed flow in the reactors filled with cylin-drical particles using the shrinking core model. In this modeling, the size of the particles is un-chamged during the reaction. Also, the reaction rate is controlled by the gas layer resistance, the ash layer resistance, and ...

The two-fluid flow is produced by the combined effects of electroosmotic force in a conducting liquid and pressure gradient force in a non-conducting liquid. The Poisson-Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations are solved analytically; and the effects of governing parameters are examined. Poiseuille number increases with increasing the parameters involved. In the absence of pressure gradient, the ...

Abstract: Mine ventilation system is critical for maintaining safe working conditions in an underground coal mine. At present, there exist some problems in developing mine ventilation software such as long development cycle, redevelopment, low commercialization and weak extensibility. The traditional digital mine ventilation systems is complicated to be modified or extended after published unle...

We prove that every 3-manifold possesses a C, volume-preserving flow with no fixed points and no closed trajectories. The main construction is a volume-preserving version of the Schweitzer plug. We also prove that every 3-manifold possesses a volume-preserving, C flow with discrete closed trajectories and no fixed points (as well as a PL flow with the same geometry), which is needed for the fir...

Particle concentration is a key unit operation in biochemical assays. Although there are many techniques for particle concentration in continuous-phase microfluidics, relatively few are available in multiphase (plug-based) microfluidics. Existing approaches generally require external electric or magnetic fields together with charged or magnetized particles. This paper reports a passive techniqu...
