Integrated Radio Frequency and Ultrasonics with Conventional Processes for Efficient Water Removal in Pulp and Paper and Other Biomaterial Applications

Conventional drying processes used in the pulp and paper industry primarily involve lengthy, surface based, multi-cylinder conductive and convective drying with low thermal efficiencies and often use some fossil-based energy. Integration of cross cutting, electrically-powered, volumetric drying process intensification technologies based on Radio Frequency (RF) and acoustics (Ultrasonics) (US) will directly impart energy into the biomaterials resulting in improved energy efficiency and throughput. Integration of RFUS-based drying technology is expected to enable U.S. manufacturing industry to reduce capital and operating costs, energy consumption, and carbon emissions while increasing energy efficiency and throughput, improving product quality and sustainability, and helping preserve U.S. manufacturing jobs. The hybrid drying approach incorporates directed radio frequency (RF) and ultrasonic (US) energy with conventional conduction, diffusion and convective heat and mass transfer overcoming the limitations of the conventional drying processes and that meets/exceeds the minimum goals. We have shown the effective removal of free and bound water in the biomaterials by leveraging the synergies of RF and US technologies integrated with conventional manufacturing processes.

Conversion of cellulose to high-yield glucose in water over sulfonated mesoporous carbon fibers with optimized acidity

The hydrolysis of cellulose to high-yield glucose in water remains challenging owing to the limited acidity and substrate contact of sulfonated carbons. In this study, we report a unique sulfonated mesoporous carbon fiber with optimized acidity prepared by the pyrolysis of FeCl 3 -impregnated wipe fibers followed by acid treatment. The Bronsted acidity (especially for SO 3 H) was produced by sulfonation of the magnetic carbon fiber intermediate, while Lewis acidity originated from small Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and the remaining defects. The balanced Bronsted and Lewis acidity combined with hydrophilic functionalities was simultaneously tailored by varying the Fe/wipe fiber (WF) feed ratio and pyrolysis temperature to change the porous structure of the final catalysts. The elaborately fabricated MCF-SO 3 H-20-500 (20% Fe/WF feed ratio and pyrolysis at 500 degrees C) delivered 66.0% glucose yield as cellulose was completely converted. This is the highest glucose yield achieved by the hydrolysis of untreated cellulose in water over a sulfonated carbon catalyst. The optimized Bronsted and Lewis acidity was mainly responsible for the controlled conversion of cellulose to glucose, while the rich hydrophilic functionalities and superior mesoporous structure of the catalyst facilitated contact to cellulose and mass transfer. This investigation will open new avenues to design high-performance carbon sulfoacid catalysts toward cellulose hydrolysis.

A three-dimensional pore-scale model for redox flow battery electrode design analysis

A three-dimensional (3-D) pore-scale model has been developed to construct multiscale fibrous electrodes for redox flow batteries (RFB). New designs, such as biporous electrodes modify electrode structures by creating secondary pores on single carbon fiber to reduce internal battery resistance. Existing pore-scale models only resolve electrodes to the single carbon fiber scale and cannot incorporate recent multiscale electrode designs into numerical models. Our new model aims to bridge this gap and provide a tool to rapidly screen new electrode configurations. Two multiscale electrodes, laser-perforated and biporous electrodes, were investigated at varying operation conditions with the proposed 3-D pore-scale models. The laser-perforated electrode exhibits a reduced pressure drop, but follows the same permeability correlation compared to the corresponding pristine electrode. For the biporous electrode, the added specific surface area and faster reaction kinetics from the secondary pores are the most influential factors leading to improved battery efficiency. However, operating the biporous electrode in limiting current density conditions should be avoided due to the decreased mass transfer efficiency and a more significant voltage loss. Finally, we believe that our 3-D pore-scale model can accelerate the flow battery electrode design process and provide new insights into electrode geometry optimizations.

CFD modeling of crystallization fouling with CO 2 desorption incorporated for a falling-film evaporator in thermal desalination

Seawater flowing around horizontal tubes in falling-film evaporators is a common configuration for thermal desalination. Heat is transferred from in-tube steam condensation to the shell-side seawater by conduction through the tube wall and scaling layer, and conduction and convection to the evaporating liquid film. CO 2 is simultaneously released from seawater and mixed with the produced vapor. Fouling coupled with CO 2 desorption has deleterious impacts on both evaporation and condensation. The evaluation of spatiotemporal dependent crystallization fouling and CO 2 desorption is vital to selecting optimal operating conditions. Here, in this work, a CO 2 desorption model is integrated into CFD modeling for predictions of coupled heat and mass transfer, to understand and predict scale formation and CO 2 desorption with local and transient profiles of temperature, carbonate species concentrations, pH, and total alkalinity. The porosity of the scale layer is experimentally determined as 67.7% and invoked in the calculation of effective thermal conductivity. The simulation results reveal that high steam temperatures increase seawater total alkalinity and accelerate scale formation. The scale thickness on the bottom tube reaches 0.30 μm and 5.24 μm for steam temperatures of 60 °C and 80 °C, respectively. High salinity leads to a large CO 2 desorption rates. The CO 2 desorption rate increases 43% when the seawater salinity increases from 35 to 55 g/kg. The effects of operating conditions on carbonate speciation and pH have been compared and analyzed. This model can serve as a comprehensive tool for the design of thermal desalination systems and optimal operation.

CO 2 absorption intensification using three-dimensional printed dynamic polarity packing in a bench-scale integrated CO 2 capture system

Postcombustion carbon capture using a chemical absorbent is a promising technology to reduce CO 2 emission. However, the overall construction and operating costs remain a major challenge. In order to intensify the absorption process and to reduce these costs, a novel dynamic polarity structured packing (DP packing) with alternate patterns of surface polarity has been developed to enhance local macro-scale turbulence within the advanced viscous solvent to reduce the mass transfer diffusion resistance. Here, three DP structured packings that incorporate multiple polymeric materials were fabricated using three-dimensional printing technique and evaluated through parametric testing using a bench-scale integrated CO 2 capture unit with 76.2 mm ID absorber. At optimized operating conditions, the DP packing showed a relative 22.7% increase in absorption and 20.0% decrease in energy penalty.

Mechanistic definition and prediction of the mass exchange coefficient between rivers and hyporheic zones: The $α$ of two $Ω$s

Solute transport in interconnected rivers and hyporheic zones is typically modeled through dual-domain models where first-order solute mass transfer between the two domains, Ω R and Ω HZ , is represented by a coefficient α. The transient storage model (TSM) is an example of such an approach. In practice, α is determined by fitting the tails of solute tracer breakthrough curves using a TSM. This approach has led to ambiguity regarding α’s physical meaning and transferability. Here, in this work, we investigated the physical basis for α and tested it with virtual experiments through the fully coupled multiphysics model hyporheicFoam for the Ω R – Ω HZ system. hyporheicFoam explicitly simulated coupled flow and solute transport over a kilometer with centimeter-scale resolution. Model results were analyzed to calculate α following its theoretical definition directly. Using the determined α within a TSM enables accurate reproduction of solute transport, underscoring α’s physical relevance and precision.

Intrinsic kinetics of water-inhibited ultra-lean methane oxidation over PtPd-Mg/ θ -Al 2 O 3 catalyst

Here, this study develops intrinsic methane oxidation kinetics for ultra-lean methane conditions in the presence of water over a highly active and stable PtPd–Mg/θ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst. Comprehensive laboratory experiments were conducted over a wide range of methane concentrations (150–1200 ppm CH 4 ), water contents (1–5% H 2 O), and industrially relevant space velocities (80,000 ≤ GHSV ≤ 160,000 h -1 ). These systematic experiments informed a two-dimensional, axisymmetric, multiscale reactor model that was used to develop and validate methane oxidation kinetics under practically relevant conditions, including non-isothermal operation and high conversion regimes. Combined experimental and modeling results revealed significant intraparticle diffusion resistance and transport-induced reaction exotherm at elevated temperatures, which limited catalyst utilization despite high intrinsic activity. These transport effects were explicitly incorporated into the reactor model, enabling accurate estimation of intrinsic kinetic parameters without reliance on conventional effectiveness-factor corrections. The resulting kinetic model successfully captured both kinetically controlled and mass-transfer-limited regimes and reliably predicted CH 4 conversion across broad ranges of temperature, methane concentration, and water content

Cataclysmic Variables in the First Year of the Zwicky Transient Facility

Using selection criteria based on amplitude, time, and color, we have identified 329 objects as known or candidate cataclysmic variables (CVs) during the first year of testing and operation of the Zwicky Transient Facility. Of these, 90 are previously confirmed CVs, 218 are strong candidates based on the shape and color of their light curves obtained during 3–562 days of observation, and the remaining 21 are possible CVs but with too few data points to be listed as good candidates. Almost half of the strong candidates are within 10 deg of the galactic plane, in contrast to most other large surveys that have avoided crowded fields. The available Gaia parallaxes are consistent with sampling the low mass transfer CVs, as predicted by population models. Our follow-up spectra have confirmed Balmer/helium emission lines in 27 objects, with four showing high-excitation He ii emission, including candidates for an AM CVn, a polar, and an intermediate polar. Our results demonstrate that a complete survey of the Galactic plane is needed to accomplish an accurate determination of the number of CVs existing in the Milky Way.

Development and Application of High-Fidelity Models for Heterogeneous CO2 Frost Formation

Carbon America has developed a cryogenic carbon capture technology ("FrostCC") that separates CO2 from point source emissions by solidifying it at cold temperatures through preferential desublimation. Cooling is achieved through a series of interlinked compression, heat exchange, and expansion operations. In the current system, frosting of CO2 happens in heat exchangers, followed by CO2 recovery in a separate extraction step. In this work, multiphysics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models are developed and validated for compressible and low Mach flows to simulate the formation of solid CO2 in flue gas flowing in a heat exchanger geometry. The models track the mass transfer rate of CO2 from gas phase to solid phase, heat released from desublimation, and the evolution of the solid CO2 layer. Simulations are used to answer scientific questions related to the angle of heat exchanger pipes, where buoyancy effects from flow velocity and pipe orientation influence CO2 frosting. Results show that upwardly angled pipes produce notably different flow structures compared to horizontal or vertical configurations, and that carbon capture efficiency correlates with buoyancy effects for pipe angles within plus or minus 23 degrees of horizontal.

Modeling batch melting: Roles of heat transfer and reaction kinetics

Development of mathematical models of heat and mass transfer in glass-melting furnaces began in the 1970s and progressed rapidly with advances in sophisticated experimental/numerical techniques and increasing computational power. Today, practically all newly built or rebuilt furnaces are optimized with these models to meet stringent quality requirements, reduce the unit costs of manufacturing, or control emissions. One remaining hurdle is to model the batch-to-glass conversion accurately enough to reliably assess the glass production rate. This article summarizes two key aspects of the batch-conversion modeling—the heat transfer and the kinetics of conversion—and reviews the current state-of-the-art approaches to simulating them. We critically examine the advantages of the commonly used heat transfer approach, but also explain that its predictive capabilities are significantly restricted by the dependence of batch thermal properties on the time-temperature history. We argue that kinetic approaches to the batch-conversion modeling would offer a significant improvement when coupled with the heat transfer approach. Finally, we summarize key areas requiring further research on the way toward a realistic model of the batch blanket.

Enhancing reactant selectivity for Ni/Mg reforming catalysts using silicalite-1 shells: A modeling study

The ability of a zeolite shell to enhance the selective conversion of hydrocarbons through diffusional limitations was investigated using a multi-scale model of a fixed-bed reactor. The impact of shell thickness and molecule/pore size on the catalytic performance of silicalite-1 zeolite encapsulated nickel catalyst pellets for steam reforming of C1-C7 hydrocarbons is reported. A reaction–diffusion model using kinetic expressions established in literature was employed. The model was verified through comparison with reported experimental results for steam reforming data over a temperature range of 748 – 1113 K and pressure of 1 – 10 bar. Comparisons are also made against experimental data for steam reforming in the presence of a zeolite shell. Evaluation of the Weisz-Prater criterion for both the core and encapsulated catalyst confirmed mass transfer limitation induced by the utilization of a zeolite shell. The model was used to suggest an optimal thickness that balances diffusional limitations imposed by the zeolite layer on methane versus that of the heavier hydrocarbons. The optimum thickness varied as a function of hydrocarbon size and shape which determined the diffusion rates. For toluene and heptane, a 50 nm thick shell was sufficient to wholly prevent reaction. Hydrocarbons like propane and butane required a shell 7.5 and 5 μm thick. Increasing the gas-hourly-space-velocity from 10,000 to 60,000 h –1 caused a decrease in the optimum shell thickness. Furthermore, this approach can be modified for application to other mixed hydrocarbon systems to predict optimal catalyst design.

Opportunities and challenges in process modeling and simulation of electrochemical systems

Electrochemical technologies have garnered intense interest in both academic research and industrial applications due to their potential to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint. However, electrochemical process fundamentals have been absent from the chemical process simulators available to millions of chemical engineers worldwide. To expedite process research and development of electrochemical technologies in the chemical industry, it is imperative that essential electrochemical process fundamentals be incorporated into process simulators to support modeling and simulation of electrochemical processes. Here, this study examines three process fundamentals key to the research and development of electrochemical processes: electrochemical reaction kinetics, electrolyte thermodynamics, and heat and mass transfer. It further illustrates application of these process fundamentals with a case study modeling an electrochemical process for the conversion of acrylonitrile to adiponitrile. The modeling example highlights the roles of applied voltage on reaction rates, and electron flow rates on the performance of electrochemical processes. It suggests that the applied voltage and electron flow rates are two unique concepts that should be included in simulators for electrochemical processes.

Solvent Effects on Catalytic Reactions and Related Phenomena at Liquid-Solid Interfaces

Catalytic reactions involve the direct interaction of reactants, intermediates and products with the catalyst surface. We not only need to control the atomic structure and electronic properties of the active site, but also explore the multiple molecular interactions that occur beyond the active site; they play an essential role in altering the binding and reactivity of surface species. In liquid-phase catalysis, solvents provide additional degrees of freedom in the design of the catalytic process for desirable activity and selectivity. Here, the multi-faceted effects of solvents have a profound impact on the catalyst performance by restricting the mass transfer to the site, tuning the chemical potential of the surface species, competing for active sites, stabilizing the initial and transition states, and causing mechanistic changes by participating in the kinetically relevant elementary steps. This review addresses the different aspects of solvent effects, using a few prototype solid-liquid interfaces to illustrate these fundamental features. Recent experimental and computational studies that provide new insight at the molecular level are examined. Solvent structures in the proximity of the catalyst surface are discussed along with their influence in molecular binding and reaction at the solid-liquid interfaces. Furthermore, opportunities to alter such a solid-liquid interaction by tuning the wettability of the catalyst surfaces are explored.

Long-term Photometry and Orbital Period Change of the W UMa–type Binary v0599 Aur: Evidence of about 11 yr Magnetic-activity Cycle

Combining all available photometric data from various surveys and literature with our observations, we present 10 sets of light curves for the eclipsing binary V0599 Aur covering a timescale of 20 yr. During the last two decades, the O’Connell effect continuously varied and went through at least two flips between positive and negative effects. The photometric solutions from our two sets of multicolored light curves show that V0599 Aur is a W-type shallow contact binary with an active spot on the secondary. Its absolute parameters are determined by combining the Gaia distance with the photometric solutions. The period investigation reveals a secular decrease and a cyclic variation in its orbital period. The former mainly originates from the mass transfer from the more massive secondary to the less massive primary. The latter can be preferentially explained as a result of cyclic magnetic activity of the secondary, with three observational supports: (1) the existence and evolution of an active spot suggested by the long-term photometry, (2) periodic variation in both the O’Connell effect and relative luminosity, and (3) weak correlations between O’Connell effect/relative luminosity changes and cyclic period variation. Together with the cyclic period variation and its theoretical reasonability by Applegate’s mechanism, we suggest that the secondary of V0599 Aur is a solar-type magnetic-activity star with an approximately 11 yr active cycle. Furthermore, by combining the secular period decrease with the Roche-lobe model, we infer that V0599 Aur is evolving from the marginal contact state controlled by thermal relaxation oscillation theory to the overcontact state.

A novel semi-structured kinetic model of methanotroph-photoautotroph cocultures for biogas conversion

Through metabolic coupling of methane oxidation and oxygenic photosynthesis, methanotroph-photoautotroph (M-P) cocultures offer a highly promising technology platform for biogas conversion. However, there has not been any quantitative modeling of the coculture growth kinetics. This is mainly due to the inherent difficulty associated with real time characterization of the M-P cocultures and the complex interactions such as the cross-feeding mechanism within the coculture. To address this challenge, we recently developed a novel experimental-computational (E-C) protocol to accurately characterize the M-P coculture in real-time, and validated its accuracy through cell counting. Enabled by the E-C protocol, this work presents the very first kinetic model for M-P cocultures. By explicitly modeling the exchange of in situ produced O 2 /CO 2 within the M-P coculture and coupling the individual biomass growth with mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases, the semi-structured kinetic model accurately predicts the growth dynamics of the M-P coculture under a wide range of growth conditions. The proposed model is validated by a series of wet-lab experiments using Methylomicrobium buryatense 5GB1 - Arthrospira platensis as the model coculture. Although it has been speculated that there may exist other emergent metabolic interactions within the M-P coculture, in addition to the exchange of in situ produced O 2 /CO 2 , there has not been any experimental validation prior to this study. By integrating designed experiments with the semi-structured kinetic model, this study is the first to confirm the existence of the additional emergent metabolic exchanges within the coculture. Furthermore, this study further quantifies the effect of these unknown metabolic interactions on the growth of both species in the model coculture, supporting further research to identify these exchanged metabolites for metabolic engineering.

Effect of air path heat losses at different locations in vapor compression-based clothes dryer: Quasi-steady modeling and design implications

Clothes drying is among the most power-intensive household end uses, and vapor compression-based clothes dryers offer substantial energy cost savings compared with conventional electric heater dryers. However, parasitic heat losses along the air path, that is, heat loss at the upstream of the drum, inside the drum, and at downstream of the drum, remain rarely quantified, but can strongly affect overall performance according to experiments. Here, this study enhances a vapor compression simulation model by integrating a validated drum model using a dimensionless heat-and-mass-transfer effectiveness correlation derived from 63 drying tests in the literature to form a quasi-steady dryer simulation model. The model is validated against laboratory measurements of a baseline dryer. The impact of heat losses is simulated at three locations and explored through 16 heat loss cases spanning two loads (2 and 5 kg), two airflow rates, and multiple loss distributions. For a 5 kg wet load, eliminating pre-drum and in-drum losses reduces total energy use by up to 34–35% and shortens drying time by 27–38% compared with the baseline. At a 2 kg wet load, introducing post-drum heat loss lowers energy costs by up to 23% and reduces operation time by up to 57% compared with the baseline. The results demonstrate that the impact of heat loss is location dependent. Vapor compression dryers should minimize pre-drum and in-drum losses while potentially exploiting post-drum heat dissipation to enhance the drying rate and energy cost savings.

Seawater Acidification and Bubble Plume Dispersion from Accidental Subsea CO 2 Pipeline Rupture: A Multiphase CFD Study

If a CO 2 reservoir or transmission pipeline were to leak, both the surrounding ecology and maritime traffic safety could be put at risk. To better understand and prepare for this risk, multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models were built in ANSYS Fluent to capture the behavior of a leak once it enters the water. A 3D Eulerian–Eulerian model was used for validation, while a simplified 2D model was applied to simulate conditions at a 50-m depth. The models integrate bubble dynamics, gas holdup, CO 2 dissolution, dissolved species transport, and seawater acidification into a unified CFD framework. Mass transfer was calculated using the Hughmark correlation, and local seawater temperature and salinity were factored in to determine dissociation behavior and the relevant Henry’s Law constant. To confirm the 3D model’s accuracy, results were checked against two experimental datasets: the QICS field study and the Hauser Tank experiments. The team also modeled a hypothetical release scenario at the High Island 10L site and compared the results with earlier published work. The results show that at a depth of 50 m, the surrounding water column can completely absorb a CO 2 release at a rate of 35 kg/s, since the gas dissolves into the seawater as it rises toward the surface. Beyond confirming this mitigation capacity, the simulations shed light on how a leak would actually unfold in the environment, including the shape and movement of the rising bubble plume, how much CO 2 dissolves along the way, and the resulting shifts in seawater pH and pCO 2 . Together, this provides a practical framework for assessing how CO 2 leaks could affect marine environments in the Gulf of Mexico.
