Effect of fuel composition on NOx formation in high‐pressure syngas/air combustion

10.1002/aic.16170

2018-04-11

In this study, an experimental investigation of lean premixed syngas/air flames with H2/CO ratio of 1.0 and equivalence ratio of 0.5 has been conducted in a high‐pressure burner facility to investigate the effects of pressure and the presence of hydrocarbons ...

Morphology evolution and dynamics of droplet coalescence on superhydrophobic surfaces

10.1002/aic.16169

2018-04-10

In this work, the coalescence of two equal‐sized water droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) is experimentally investigated. The morphologies of droplet coalescence are observed from side‐view and bottom‐view using high‐speed camera system. The related...

Near‐UV activated, photostable nanophosphors for in vitro dosimetry and dynamic bioimaging

10.1002/aic.16166

2018-04-10

Luminescent rare earth nanoparticles exhibit superior optical stability over commonly‐used organic dyes and higher biocompatibility over quantum dots, rendering them advantageous as bioimaging nanoprobes. However, their typical excitation inhibits their broad...

Design of active NiCo2O4‐δ spinel catalyst for abatement of CO‐CH4 emissions from CNG fueled vehicles

10.1002/aic.16162

2018-04-06

Increasing number of CNG vehicles on road emits considerable amount of CO, a poisonous gas and CH4, a greenhouse‐gas. Highly active and oxygen‐deficient NiCo2O4‐δ spinel and its individual metal‐oxides were synthesized by calcination of precipitated/co‐precip...

The effect of mixing on Co‐precipitation and evolution of microstructure of Cu‐ZnO catalyst

10.1002/aic.16168

2018-04-06

The influence of feeding point in conventional stirred tank reactor and flow characteristics in micro‐reactor on the microstructure of Cu‐ZnO catalyst was studied. Cu‐Zn distribution in co‐precipitate was characterized by EDS and Zn fraction in zincian malach...

Investigation mechanism of DEA as an activator on aqueous MEA solution for postcombustion CO2 capture

10.1002/aic.16165

2018-03-30

In this work, Diethanolamine (DEA) was considered as an activator to enhance the CO2 capture performance of Monoethanolamine (MEA). The addition of DEA into MEA system was expected to improve disadvantages of MEA on regeneration heat, degradation, and corrosi...

Novel aeration of a large‐scale flat sheet MBR: A CFD and experimental investigation

10.1002/aic.16164

2018-03-30

Having previously established that the hydrodynamic effect introduced by slug bubbles is more effective and economic in fouling amelioration in flat sheet MBRs (FSMBR) than conventional bubbling, this work is focused on its implementation in a commercial FSMB...

Scale‐dependent nonequilibrium features in a bubbling fluidized bed

10.1002/aic.16163

2018-03-30

We investigate experimentally the nonequilibrium features in a pseudo 2‐D bubbling fluidized bed. Velocities of individual particles are measured by using a particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) method, and void fractions are obtained with the Voronoi tessellat...

Machine learning for crystal identification and discovery

10.1002/aic.16157

2018-03-30

As computers get faster, researchers—not hardware or algorithms—become the bottleneck in scientific discovery. Computational study of colloidal self‐assembly is one area that is keenly affected: even after computers generate massive amounts of raw data, perfo...

Liquid‐to‐solid ratio control as an advanced process control solution for continuous twin‐screw wet granulation

10.1002/aic.16161

2018-03-30

Assuring compliance of intermediate and final quality attributes in a continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing campaign is of utmost importance. Application of corrective actions might be required in real‐time. This work exemplifies the steps needed to identif...
