A double-input–multi-output linearized system is developed using the state-space method for dynamic analysis of methanation process of coke oven gas.The stability of reactor alone and reactor with feed-effluent heat exchanger is compared through the dominant poles of the system transfer functions.With single or double disturbance of temperature and CO concentration at the reactor inlet,typical dynamic behavior in the reactor,including fast concentration response,slow temperature response and inverse response,is revealed for further understanding of the counteraction and synergy effects caused by simultaneous variation of concentration and temperature.Analysis results show that the stability of the reactor loop is more sensitive than that of reactor alone due to the positive heat feedback.Remarkably,with the decrease of heat exchange efficiency,the reactor system may display limit cycle behavior for a pair of complex conjugate poles across the imaginary axis.
A transient two-phase and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation within the Eulerian framework has been carried out to investigate the influence of drag models on the radial gas hold-up profile of a bubble column.The effect of the sparger modeling is investigated as well.It can be concluded that:(1)the approximate modeling method for the sparger in this work is capable of reasonably predicting the radial gas holdup profile;(2)the CFD simulation with the Tomiyama’s drag model differs little from the Ishii-Zuber drag model at the low superficial velocity,while at the high gas velocity,the former leads to an over-prediction of the gas hold-up profile;(3)the correction factor of drag coefficient has a larger influence on the radial gas holdup profiles for high superficial gas velocity than low velocity.
In order to enhance the water-solubility and biological utilization rate of chrysin, sodium 5,7-dihydroxylflavone-8-sulfonate (1, [Na(H2O)1/2]X, X = C15H9OSO3, 5,7-dihydroxylfla- vone-8-sulfonate) was synthesized and its structure was identified on the basis of NMR, FT-IR and elemental analysis. The assembly of 5,7-dihydroxylflavone-8-sulfonate with diethylamide cation afforded diethylamide 5,7-dihydroxylflavone-8-sulfonate (2, NH2(CH2CH3)2X) which was characterized by FT-IR and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal of 1 is of triclinic system, space group P1, with a = 8.5628(13), b = 12.8916(19), c = 13.562(2) A, α = 82.494(1), β = 78.601(2), γ = 84.033(2)°, C30H20Na2O15S2, Z = 2, Mr = 730.59, V = 1450.3(4) A3, Dc = 1.673 g/cm3, F(000) = 748, p = 0.295 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0641 and wR = 0.1458. The crystal of 2 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group Pi, with a = 7.689(2), b = 11.184(3), c = 11.734(3) A, α = 74.268(3), βl = 81.751(4), γ= 87.991(3)°, C19H21NO7S, Z = 2, Mr= 407.43, V= 961.2(4) A3, Dc = 1.408 g/cm3, F(000) = 428, p = 0.210 mm^-1, the final R = 0.0484 and wR = 0.1195. In 1, the three-dimensional structure is organized into organic and inorganic regions; the flavone skeletons are stacked into organic regions by π...π staeking interactions; inorganic regions are generated by Na-O coordination bonds among sulfonate groups, coordinated water molecules and NaI. The sulfonate groups play an important role as a bridge of inorganic and organic regions. One-dimensional chain structure of 2 is extended by N-H…O hydrogen bonds and π...π stacking interactions. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of 1 was evaluated. The scavenging activity of 1 to DPPH free radical is better than that of the parent compound chrysin.
As the core of the Energy-Minimization Multi-Scale(EMMS) approach,the so-called stability condi-tion has been proposed to reflect the compromise between different dominant mechanisms and believed to be in-dispensable for understanding the complex nature of gas-solid fluidization systems.This approach was recently ex-tended to the study of gas-liquid bubble columns.In this article,we try to analyze the intrinsic similarity between gas-solid and gas-liquid systems by using the EMMS approach.First,the model solution spaces for the two systems are depicted through a unified numerical solution strategy,so that we are able to find three structural hierarchies in the EMMS model for gas-solid systems.This may help to understand the roles of cluster diameter correlation and stability condition.Second,a common characteristic of gas-solid and gas-liquid systems can be found by comparing the model solutions for the two systems,albeit structural parameters and stability criteria are specific in each system:two local minima of the micro-scale energy dissipation emerges simultaneously in the solution space of structure parameters,reflecting the compromise of two different dominant mechanisms.They may share an equal value at a critical condition of operating conditions,and the global minimum may shift from one to the other when the oper-ating condition changes.As a result,structure parameters such as voidage or gas hold-up exhibit a jump change due to this shift,leading to dramatic structure variation and hence regime transition of these systems.This demonstrates that it is the stability condition that drives the structure variation and system evolution,which may be the intrinsic similarity of gas-solid and gas-liquid systems.
