At present, the exhaust gas temperature of coal-fired power plants is 125-150℃, and emission high-temperature flue causes loss excess heat wastes. For this kind phenomenon, waste recovery system researched designed, combined with combination a low-temperature economizer in plant Dezhou. The heater, through heater system, reduces coal consumption for generation, emissions, while reducing dust sp...

In recent years, an increasing number of laboratories have been applying in situ heating (and ultimately, gas reaction) techniques in electron microscopy studies of catalysts and other nanophase materials. With the advent of aberration-corrected electron microscopes that provide sub-Angström image resolution, it is of great interest to study the behavior of materials at elevated temperatures wh...

A two-dimensional ANSYS/Fluent computational fluid dynamics model is constructed of an existing experiment that consists of a square 8x8 array of heater rods within a square cross section pressure vessel filled with helium. The model includes heat generation and conduction within the rods, conduction and radiation heat transfer across the helium between the rods and enclosure, and the effective...

This paper presents a micro-fluid gathering tool for a versatile capsular endoscope that employs a solid chemical propellant, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The proposed tool consists of a micro-heater, an AIBN matrix, a Venturi tube, a reservoir, an inlet, and an outlet. The micro-heater heats the AIBN matrix to be decomposed into by-products and nitrogen gas. This nitrogen gas generates negat...

Continuous innovations and modernization has greatly contributed to the development in automobile industry. Automobile has become a huge luxury for everyone in all the countries. All modern automobiles like cars are equipped with air conditioner and heater units. An air conditioner alters the properties of air (temperature and humidity) to more comfortable conditions in building, house or autom...

Environmental tax policy is one of the most important government measures for carbon reduction. In this paper, we implement an agent-based simulation approach to simulate the volume of household gas consumption affected by the Japanese “Tax for Global Warming” which is a typical environmental tax policy on gas price. A self-adjustment module is designed to simulate the process of household gas ...

In this paper five new ideas are proposed to integrate both an active RFID tag with a non-floating type thermal convection angular accelerometers on a flexible substrate, thus the device becomes a wireless sensor. The most innovative idea is to make it directly on the substrate without creating the grooved chamber of a traditional thermal convection accelerometer, and the device doesn’t use any...

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a large-scale technology that provides long-duration energy storage. It is promising for balancing the large-scale penetration of intermittent and dispersed sources of power, such as wind and solar power, into electric grids. The existing CAES plants utilize natural gas (NG) as fuel. However, China is rich in coal but is deficient in NG; therefore, a hybr...

In this contribution we describe the results of a study into the thermal and thermo-mechanical behavior of a high temperature micro gas reactor for investigation of the intrinsic reaction kinetics of rhodium-catalyzed direct catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) of methane into synthesis gas. The chip comprises a flow channel etched in silicon, capped with a thin composite membrane of heavily boron...

Kearney of Sandia National Laboratories for the opportunity to work on this project and experience the complete research process. Without their continuous guidance and financial support throughout the process, I would not have been able to achieve my goal of a graduate degree in mechanical engineering. In addition, I would like to thank Dr. Zhuomin Zhang for serving on the thesis reading commit...
