Twin-screw granulation: Mechanistic understanding of the effect of material properties on key granule quality attributes through the analysis of mixing dynamics and granulation rate mechanisms

This study focuses on understanding the effect of material properties on granule quality attributes through the analysis of mixing dynamics and granulation rate mechanisms. Powder wettability, binder viscosity, and liquid-to-solid (L/S) ratio were the factors that were investigated in this study. Further, the mixing occurring inside the twin-screw granulator (TSG) was quantitatively assessed by obtaining the axial dispersion coefficient from the experimentally measured residence time distribution (RTD) curves. It was observed that the quality of the nuclei fed to the kneading zone significantly affected the mixing dynamics. The quality of nuclei was governed by nucleation kinetics, which in turn was principally affected by the liquid saturation of the nuclei and the ratio of drop penetration time and encounter time, which in turn were affected by the L/S ratio and binder viscosity respectively. The hydrophobicity of the blend mainly affected the extent of nucleation. The type of nuclei entering the kneading zone and mixing dynamics in the TSG also determined whether the granulation growth mechanism was “layering-dominant” or “viscous-dominant”. It was also shown that the resultant granule quality attributes were a reflection of the growth mechanisms. Ultimately, a mechanistic link between material properties, mixing dynamics, granulation rate mechanisms, and granule quality attributes was established.

Keratin-derived functional carbon with superior charge storage and transport for high-performance supercapacitors

In this work, we report a scalable method to synthesize hierarchically porous, hetero-atom doped activated carbon nanosheet from waste biomass-human hair, and demonstrates the use of this carbon as an ultra-high performance electrode material for supercapacitor applications. Microscopic analyses reveal that sheet size ranges from 50 to 200 nm having a thickness of 15–27 nm. As-synthesized, carbon nanosheets possess a hierarchical porous structure having a specific surface area of 1548 m 2 g -1 . Heteroatom concentration (nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur) of around 25% is confirmed from XPS analysis. Therefore, the novel interconnected hierarchical porous nanosheets structure enables fast adsorption and transportation of ions during electrochemical processes. Also, the abundant chemically available electroactive heteroatom species in the material enhance the wettability of ions and contribute to pseudocapacitance. The electrochemical analyses through cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements in 6 M KOH reveal the quasi-EDLC behavior of the activated carbons due to the presence of heteroatoms. A reprensentative KOH activated carbon shows an excellent specific capacitance value of 999 F g -1 at a current density of 1 A g -1 . Furthermore, the symmetrically assembled two-electrode device also delivers a maximum energy density of 32 W h Kg -1 at a power density of 325 W Kg -1 . In addition, excellent cyclic stability of 98% capacitance retention is observed after 10,000 continuous GCD cycles even at a high current density of 5 A g -1 . Symmetric flexible supercapacitor device using KOH-PVA-K3FeCN6 as redox gel polymer electrolyte shows a synergistic specific capacitance of 145 mF cm -1 at a current density of 0.8 mA cm -1 exhibiting very less deviation in bending mode. Therefore, this waste biomass derived heteroatom doped hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets can be a promising material for cost-effective high- performance supercapacitor.

Efficient carbon capture using sub-textured polymer packing surfaces via 3D printing

Gas absorption is a common unit operation whose performance deeply relies on the gas liquid contact behavior. In this work, we report a solid polymeric surface feature containing microscale striation to improve the solid-liquid and gas-liquid contact and facilitate mass transfer. As a proof of concept, the surface feature is adopted for CO 2 capture absorber packing via 3D printing. Besides traditional embossing texture, an additional laminar striation is applied to the packing surface as a sub-texture. The packing shows notable CO 2 mass transfer increase without interfering with other key operating characteristics including pressure drop and liquid holdup. The improvement is based on the synergy of favorable wettability, thin liquid film and increased liquid mixing from rougher surface. In the demonstration test, the packing height could decrease by 33% using the advanced packing with same CO 2 removal, leading to a significant decrease in equipment size and capital expense for commercial CO 2 capture systems.

Simulation and analysis of slip flow of water at hydrophobic silica surfaces of nanometer slit pores

Water flow in nanopores is controlled fundamentally by pore wettability and interfacial water features. In the research herein reported, Molecular dynamics (MD) was used to simulate water flow in nanometer slit pores of silica surfaces with variable wetting characteristics. Compared to Couette flow, the simulated slit-pores of the talc (001) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) monolayer surfaces exhibited water flow enhancement and a positive slip length at the interface, whereas water flow velocity at the quartz (001) and amorphous silica surfaces was zero, adhering to the no slip condition. More intensive interactions between the interfacial water and hydrophilic silica surfaces were confirmed by MD simulation and sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) results. A water exclusion zone of approximately 3 Å was found at the hydrophobic silica surfaces by quantitative MD interfacial water analysis and validated by SFVS. This exclusion zone dimension was similar in magnitude to the slip length (4–5 Å) as determined from simulated water flow in hydrophobic silica slit pores. The simulated slip lengths at the hydrophobic surfaces (0.2–1 nm) were significantly less than the experimental slip lengths (>40 nm) reported in the literature. In the case of the experimental results, this difference appears to be due to nanobubbles expected to be present at hydrophobic surfaces.

Significant slowdown of plasma-optimized surface energy deactivation by vacuum sealing for efficient adhesive bonding

This work proposes an approach to minimize surface energy deactivation of plasma-treated metal and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) surfaces by vacuum sealing. Plasma treatments enhance adhesive wettability on post-treated surfaces for adhesive joints, but the treated surfaces deactivate quickly in air. The surface energy of aluminum alloy AA6061 and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-polyamide (CFRP-PA66) optimally treated by a blown air plasma instrument returns to the original surface energy within one hour. Vacuum sealing of AA6061 and CFRP-PA66 reduced the surface energy deactivation over 7 days by at least 230 times and 970 times compared to in air. Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) tests performed on adhesively-bonded AA6061/CFRP-PA66 joints showed that the total energy release and energy dissipation before failure of plasma-treated and vacuum-sealed materials was up to 60% more than plasma-treated materials without vacuum sealing and up to 125% more than non-plasma-treated materials.

Effects of graphene surface functionalities towards controlled reinforcement of a lignin based renewable thermoplastic rubber

In this report, we describe methods to enhance mechanical properties of a renewable thermoplastic rubber by incorporating functional graphene platelets into an equal-mass mixture of lignin, a feedstock from plant biomass, and a nitrile-butadiene rubber having 41 mol % acrylonitrile content (NBR41) that form a nanocomposite. Not all lignins yield mechanically strong material when they are combined with NBR41, and thus, limit its use for such rubbery products. Here, we evaluate different graphene oxides (GO) and reduced graphene oxides (rGO) dry-powders with different surface areas, functionality, and wettability in the synthesis of performance-enhanced nanocomposites of soft lignin/NBR41 matrix via a solvent-free, high shear reactive process. High surface area GO (HSGO) platelets with strong hydrophilicity exhibit good dispersion in the multiphase lignin/NBR41 composites with lignin dispersion varying from 200 to 2000 nm, resulting in superior reinforcement over other graphene derivatives. The addition of 1–4 wt % HSGO increased the tensile stress of the lignin/NBR41 thermoplastic rubber matrix by 60–160% (15–24 MPa) and the modulus by 200–700% (60–140 MPa). Scanning electron microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering results show that the well-dispersed HSGO platelets effectively disrupt the lignin-rich aggregates in NBR41 matrix, resulting in both strength and stiffness enhancements in the formed nanocomposites. This report on performance enhancement of lignin-based renewable polymers via the production of nanocomposite would increase potential for ‘finding the value of lignin’—a grand challenge associated with modern biorefineries.

Experimental study of crystallization fouling by calcium carbonate: Effects of surface structure and material

We report mitigation of crystallization fouling on heat transfer surface is crucial for developing highly efficient desalination techniques, because the tenacious and porous crystal layer can drastically deteriorate system efficiency. Surface modification is a potential approach to decrease scale formation and promote crystal removal, but some of the mechanisms between crystallization and substrate properties are still not fully understood. In this study, we use dual-angle microscopic visualization and image processing to quantify three-dimensional crystallization behavior and analyze the impact of surface structure and material. The transition of crystal size and distance with roughness and wettability are identified from statistical analysis. The determination of crystal porosity and effective thermal conductivity is enabled by visualized geometry and measured deposition mass. This study shed lights on potential strategies of surface modification to mitigate scaling in desalination by enhancing scale removal and localizing crystal growth.

An experimental study on gas-liquid phase fluid migration in hydrate-bearing sediments during hydrate dissociation

Natural gas hydrate production tests face problems such as severe sand blockage, poor gas-liquid phase separation, and significant land subsidence. This is because of the insufficient understanding of the complex phase transition and gas-liquid multi-phase fluid migration during hydrate dissociation. In hydrate-bearing sediment systems, hydrate phase transition couples with gas-liquid fluid migration. The phase transition causes changes in pore structure, which in turn modifies porous infiltration parameters and fluid flow capacity. Meanwhile, alterations in phase interfaces affect key parameters like surface tension and wettability. Gas-liquid fluid migration influences heat and mass transfer, thus affecting phase equilibrium and dissociation rates. To bridge the gap in describing gas-liquid fluid migration during hydrate dissociation in experiments, this research innovatively integrated an unsteady-state gas displacement by water and a quantitative hydrate dissociation process, independently developed a multi-phase seepage experimental system suitable for hydrate dissociation and determined the relationship between seepage parameters and hydrate saturation under different porosity. The results are as follows: a) Core samples with higher initial porosity show a greater recovery rate of fluid flow capacity. b) The retarding effect of multi-phase fluid has a more significant impact on the migration of the wetting phase fluid (water) than that of the non-wetting phase fluid (methane). c) During hydrate dissociation, the evolution of absolute permeability shows an “S-shaped” pattern, and the evolution of relative permeability shows a “wiring-harness” pattern. In conclusion, the findings can provide a theoretical basis for preventing geological disasters and for geotechnical engineering design during hydrate production.

Valuation of Surface Coatings in High-Energy Density Lithium-ion Battery Cathode Materials

Artificial barriers, usually with either electrochemically active or inactive coating materials, are deployed on cathode material surfaces to mitigate detrimental side reactions by suppressing direct contact of cathode and electrolyte called surface coatings. These surface coatings are commonly known to increase the wettability of liquid electrolyte and reduce the interfacial charge transfer resistance. An important caveat is the selection of appropriate coating material with appropriate thickness for achieving enhanced electrochemical performance. As modern battery materials are increasingly developed with some type of surface coating, a careful and thorough examination of their role in mitigating the cycle life issues of cathode materials is paramount. Here, this comprehensive review article extensively covers the selection criteria of coating materials based on their chemical and physical properties and electrochemical functionalities. Additionally, the article discusses the concept of critical coating thickness and methods of achieving homogeneous coating architectures that deliver desired performance benefits. Furthermore, this comprehensive article summarizes the recent advancements, effectiveness, necessity of cathode surface coatings and identifies the key aspect of structure-property correlation between coating type/thickness and lithium-ion diffusion through coating layers as the linchpin that validates surface coating approaches especially for high capacity nickel-rich cathodes.

Unveiling stimulation fluid-driven alterations in shale pore architecture through combined interpretation of TD-NMR and multi-component gas adsorption

The hydraulic fracturing stimulation process can alter petrophysical and flow properties of the shale matrix in unconventional reservoirs. These alterations can result from interactions with native and exogenous fluids, and can be detrimental to reservoir productivity. Different experimental procedures have been proposed to study reactive processes and thereby understand the aforementioned interactions. Most published works do not consider the rock initial saturation with formation fluid, or the effect of organic matter (OM). To gain insights into these effects, two reactive experimental sets, differing in experimental conditions, were conducted. In the first set, at 125°C and 45 MPa, a stimulation fluid surrogate was put in contact with Baxter Shale samples, previously saturated and equilibrated with synthetic formation fluid. A baseline consisted of exposure to formation fluid exclusively. In the second set, at 0.08 MPa and 25°C, contact with stimulation fluid took place as in the first set. Two additional assays in this second set either skipped the initial formation fluid saturation or removed the OM, respectively. Petrophysical properties analyses, focused on the pore architecture, relied on the combined interpretation of gas adsorption and Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR). Results show that the presence of the formation fluid significantly restricts pore space accessibility to the stimulation fluid and mitigates the pore-architecture alteration to the macro-pore region. Mineral dissolution and precipitation dominate over surface or wettability alteration. Next, results suggest that the OM restricts accessibility to some pores. Ultimately, the equilibration process with synthetic formation fluid drives mainly surface alteration, unhindered by OM.

Relative permeability of gas and water flow in hydrate-bearing porous media: A micro-scale study by lattice Boltzmann simulation

The water-gas relative permeability is an important parameter to characterize multiphase flow in sediments. To study the water-gas relative permeability of hydrate-bearing porous media, multiphase flow simulations were carried out at the pore scale using the lattice Boltzmann method. In this work, the effects of hydrate saturation and hydrate-growth habits on the water-gas relative permeability, which is scaled by the relative permeability considering the hydrate only, were evaluated in a two-dimensional porous medium. Results show that the increase of hydrate saturation causes the decrease of water-gas effective permeability as expected. However, the effect of hydrate saturation on the water-gas relative permeability is different from that of hydrate saturation on the water-gas effective permeability. The water-gas relative permeability increases with the increase of hydrate saturation in the pore-filling case. The water-gas relative permeability decreases with the increase of hydrate saturation in the grain-coating case. The wettability of solid phase has a different effect on the relative permeability of wetting phase and nonwetting phase. The Jamin effect (phase blocking) was observed and may exist in the production of gas from natural gas hydrate reservoirs. This seriously affects the multiphase flow characteristics. The changes of microscale fluid distribution effect the changes of water-gas relative permeability. The relationship between the water-gas relative permeability and the characterization parameters of microscale fluid distribution was analyzed.

Liquid lithium wetting and percolation in a porous tungsten/liquid Li plasma facing component (PFC)

This work explores the concept of a hybrid material system designed to protect the plasma from high-Z material emission while also protecting an underlying high-Z wall material from erosion by integrating a low-Z component in the liquid phase. Plasma-surface interaction properties of a porous tungsten (W)-liquid metal hybrid system, having the favorable bulk thermomechanical properties of W while serving as a scaffold for a liquid metal with self-healing and radiative vapor shielding characteristics, are examined. W-substrates with 70% density of bulk W and 1–5 μm sized pores have been fabricated with 50-nm W powders using spark plasma sintering. Enhanced lithium (Li) wettability, driven by percolation through the porous W architecture, is demonstrated with in-situ liquid Li drop measurements. Finally, results show complete wetting of liquid Li at 250 °C in the porous W, 100 °C lower temperature than what has been observed on traditional W surfaces. In operando ion beam analysis of Li films deposited on porous W substrates provides microscopic evidence of Li percolation into the substrate and a first look at D retention up to a depth of 100 nm after plasma exposure at a flux of 10 20 m –2 s –1 , 250 eV/amu D + plasma to a fluence of 1.16 × 10 23 m –2 at a temperature of 200 °C.

Implementation of tritium transport in a gas-liquid contactor CFD simulation of tritium extraction from lead-lithium in ANSYS fluent

Modifications to the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software ANSYS Fluent were done to quantify and characterize tritium transport in Gas-Liquid Contactors (GLCs). A double-slit, Ergun-like equation was employed for the porous media model, with Ergun coefficients validated with Sulzer’s Sulcol software. Tritium transport from PbLi within the GLC was verified against analytical models. The geometry of the CFD model was based on the MELODIE GLC experiment. The hydrodynamic CFD pressure drop results align well with SulCol estimations and fall between the predictions of the analytical Delft-Olujic and Billet & Schultes models. In terms of mass transfer efficiency, traditional mass transfer models showed a significant deviation from experimental results when using varying values of H solubility in PbLi. A saturation phenomenon occurred when utilizing high solubility values for hydrogen in PbLi. In conclusion, a modified film theory mass transfer coefficient, incorporating either the Delft-Olujic or Billet & Schultes wettability model, yielded CFD-predicted extraction efficiencies that closely matched experimental measurements.

Using high pressure solutions of polyfluoroacrylate and CO 2 to Seal cement cracks for improved wellbore integrity

Polyfluoroacrylate (PFA) is a hydrophobic and oleophobic polymer that is soluble in high pressure carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). In this study, the ability of PFA-CO 2 solutions to greatly reduce the apparent permeability of split or cracked Portland cement cylindrical samples is assessed. The apparent permeability values of confined samples were determined before and after treatment with PFA-CO 2 solutions. In four tests, PFA-CO 2 solutions were continuously displacing pure CO 2 from the cracked cement and the decrease in apparent permeability due to PFA adsorption and wettability alteration was monitored. The lowest apparent permeability cracked cement sample (81 nD) was completely sealed with a very small amount of solution. Samples with initial apparent permeabilities of 89 μD and 29.4 mD exhibited 92% and 99% reductions in permeability, respectively, before the experiments had to be stopped because of the excessively large increase in pressure drop. A 50% reduction in apparent permeability was observed with a 3.80 mD sample. Four other split cement samples (bound together with tape) with an initial apparent permeability in the 9.0–70 mD range were removed from the core holder and immersed in a PFA-CO 2 solution for 24 h to allow for PFA adsorption. Then the PFA-CO 2 solution was depressurized, allowing for the deposition of additional PFA from the solution within the crack as the pressure fell below the cloud point pressure of the PFA-CO 2 solution. These four samples were then confined again in a core holder and apparent permeability reductions of 29–93% were observed. Finally, results from these eight experiments indicates that the more substantial reductions in the nD – mD apparent permeability of the cracked cement correlated to lower initial crack permeability, higher PFA concentration, and slower injection rate of the PFA-CO 2 solution into the crack.

Elucidating the Impact of Flow on Material-Sensitive Critical Heat Flux and Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficients: An Experimental Study with Various Materials

In this work, steady-state internal flow boiling critical heat flux (CHF) experiments were carried out at 10°C inlet subcooling and atmospheric pressure (84 kPa at an altitude of about 5300 feet) with mass flux ranging from 200 to 2,000 kg/m 2 -s on seven tube materials, including the accident-tolerant fuel cladding candidate FeCrAl (C26M) alloy. At a relatively low flow rate, the sensitivity of CHF to different materials was appreciable (the average difference among the tested materials was 19% at 200 kg/m 2 -s). As the absolute CHF differences stayed constant for higher flow rates, the increased flow rate led to reduced relative CHF differences among the tested materials (average relative difference of 15% at 1,000 kg/m 2 -s). FeCrAl alloy claddings that were oxidized under simulated Light Water Reactor (LWR) conditions yielded CHF comparable to as-received FeCrAl alloy cladding, with less than 1.8% difference. Experimental CHF results imply marginal material sensitivity impacts on the departure from nucleate boiling ratio in steady-state nuclear reactor cores. Yet, for accident progression analysis, material sensitivity may hold importance, as boiling behavior variation at low mass flux is appreciable. Macroscopic material parameters (surface wettability, surface roughness, and thermal properties) do not provide a suitable explanation for observed material-sensitive CHFs. Yet, surface roughness and thermal effusivity revealed power and linear relations, respectively, to the nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients at low mass flux. At high mass flux, material sensitivity on nucleate boiling heat transfer significantly decreased due to the increased shear stress on boiling surface overwhelming material-related boiling implications.

Controlled 3D nanoparticle deposition by drying of colloidal suspension in designed thin micro-porous architectures

Nanoparticle deposition by drying of colloidal suspension in thin micro-porous architectures has attracted a lot of attention in scientific research as well as industrial applications. However, the underlying mechanisms of such three-dimensional (3D) deposition are not yet fully revealed due to the complexity of the co-occurring processes of two-phase fluid flows, phase change and mass transport. Consequently, the control of 3D nanoparticle deposition remains a challenge. We use a combined experimental and numerical approach to achieve controlled 3D nanoparticle deposition by drying of colloidal suspension in two pillar-based thin micro-porous architectures. By the design of pillar layout, rectangular-spiral and circular-spiral deposition configurations are obtained globally. By varying the surface wettability, vertically symmetric and sloped nanoparticle depositions can be achieved locally. While the numerical modeling reveals the mechanisms of liquid internal flow, as well as the impact of local drying rate on nanoparticle transport, accumulation and final deposition, the experimental results of deposition configurations validate the controlling strategies. This combined experimental and numerical work provides a framework to achieve desired 3D nanoparticle deposition in thin micro-porous architectures, with a thorough understanding of the underlying mechanisms of two-phase fluid flows, phase change and mass transport.

Analysis of Laminar Convective Heat Transfer Over Structured Non-Wetting Surfaces

Structured non-wetting surfaces provide alternating no-slip and partial slip boundary conditions to the fluid flow which, in turn, affects the convective heat transfer performance over the surfaces. In this work, an analytical model is developed for the interfacial Nusselt number, the overall Nusselt number and a thermal hydraulic performance factor for fluid flow in a cylinder patterned with structured non-wetting surfaces, for the two cases of uniform wall heat flux and uniform wall temperature. In addition, by considering the stability of the Cassie state of wettability and its transition to the Wenzel state for flow over superhydrophobic surfaces, the present model overcomes certain limitations of the previously reported studies in the literature. Based on the analytical formulations and the stability constraints, the present paper provides optimum design maps for tailoring structured non-wetting surfaces for maximizing convective heat transfer and the combined thermal-hydraulic performance in applications. Use of the design maps on example cases is also discussed. It is shown that the use of structured non-wetting surfaces is most effective for low Reynolds numbers and/or small cylinder radius.

Superhydrophobic heat exchangers delay frost formation and enhance efficency of electric vehicle heat pumps

The number of electric vehicles has rapidly expanded as high-performance automotive lithium-ion batteries have become more affordable. However, the range of electric vehicles decreases in cold climates partly because of the additional thermal loads associated with cabin heating. One way to improve the efficiency of cabin heating is to replace resistive heating elements with an air-source heat pump system. However, to gain the full benefit of heat pumping, frost formation on the outdoor heat exchanger must be minimized. In this work, we modified the surface wettability of aluminum louvered-fin automotive heat pump evaporators and tested them under realistic operating conditions in a transcritical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) heat pump. Each heat exchanger underwent several consecutive frosting and defrosting cycles to understand the cyclic performance of the system. The heat exchanger with a superhydrophobic outer surface was able to delay frost formation and maintain higher heat transfer rates when compared to heat exchangers with higher surface energies (hydrophilic). The delayed frost formation resulted in a system efficiency benefit in the first few frosting cycles but diminished in later cycles due to water retention and incomplete defrosting. However, for most automotive applications the superhydrophobic heat exchanger showed substantial benefits for normal driving trips. We report the scalable and optimized superhydrophobic heat exchangers developed here have the potential to increase the efficiency of automotive heat pumps and consequently increase the range and reduce energy consumption of electric vehicles.
