Supercritical fluids play a significant role in elucidating fundamental aspects of liquid matter under extreme conditions. They have been extensively studied at pressures and temperatures relevant to various industrial applications. However, much less is known about the structural behaviour of supercritical fluids and no structural crossovers have been observed in static compression experiments...

Venous catheters are important medical devices which are more and more employed in medical treatment. After use, they are currently not re-used, a practice which is very expensive due to their cost. For this reason it is very interesting to be able to set up a sterilizing technology that permit to re-use them without changing their physical properties and the microbial adhesion. The methods usu...

ethylene was polymerized in slurry phase over a ticl4/mg(oc2h5)2 catalyst activated by al(c2h5)3. it was shown experimentally that mass transfer resistance has no effect on polymerization kinetics. after estimation ofthe active site concentration by inhibition method with carbon monoxide, the effects of polymerization temperature, monomer and cocatalyst  oncentrations and hydrogen were investig...

a mathematical model is described and applied for adsorption process of ethyl acetate from supercritical co2 stream on activated carbon particles. this model has the ability of illustrating variation of effluent concentration towards different parameters such as flow rate, temperature and pressure. in this research, a vast area of operational conditions is experienced. mass transfer resistance ...

Solute-solute and solute-solvent clustering of N,Ndimethylaminobenzonitrile and ethyl N,N-dimethylaminobenzoate in supercritical fluoroform, supercritical carbon dioxide, and supercritical fluoroform-carbon dioxide mixtures are quantitatively evaluated from the dependence of the relative contributions of the locally excited (LE) state and the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) emissi...

A thermodynamic modeling for the vapor–liquid equilibrium of binary systems of supercritical fluids and ionic liquids is presented. The van der Waals mixing rules and a cubic equation of state are used to evaluate the fugacity coefficient on the systems. Then, a particle swarm algorithm was used to minimize the difference between calculated and experimental bubble pressure, and calculate the in...

We report on a self-emerging chimera state in a homogeneous chain of nonlocally and nonlinearly coupled oscillators. This chimera, i.e., a state with coexisting regions of complete and partial synchrony, emerges via a supercritical bifurcation from a homogeneous state. We develop a theory of chimera based on the Ott-Antonsen equations for the local complex order parameter. Applying a numerical ...

Numerical studies have been carried out to investigate supercritical flow instabilities in a CO2 natural circulation loop. For the steady state and dynamic analyses of the loop under supercritical conditions, a single-channel, one-dimensional model is developed. In this model, equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and energy are discretized using an implicit finite difference scheme....

There are two types of application for gas chromatography (GC) in the supercritical fluid extraction process. Gas chromatography is a type of supercritical extraction apparatuses which can separate a component from a multi-component mixture during supercritical extraction. Therefore, this application can be the alternative to conventional gas chromatography, which needs high temperatures for th...

Depolymerization behavior polyesters (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) (PEN)) in suband supercritical water was investigated for the purpose of monomer recycling. In case of the depolymerization of PET, the yield of terephthalic acid (TPA) increased to 90 % with increasing reaction temperature up to 693 K while the maximum yield of ethylene gly...
