    Notes: A new crystallization kinetic equation has been derived considering the decrease in growth rate. The average linear growth rate of spherulite was assumed to be proportional to the m-th order of the uncrystallized fraction of the crystallizing material. A modified Avrami equation, 1 - Vc = exp[-Kf(t)n], was used where f(t) is the integral of the growth function, (1 - Vc)m. The validity of the equation was tested by analyzing the isothermal crystallization kinetic data of poly(ethylene terephthalate) from the melt using differential scanning calorimetry.

    Notes: Process changes aimed at improving printer engine performance must take into consideration not only the process variables (such as nip temperature and pressure and process time to), but also the melt rheological variables (such as the characteristic time scale of the toner Tc). The melt rheology relevant to the electrophotographic toner fusing process is discussed. One criterion for toner quality can be conveniently measured through the Deborah number De, which is the ratio of Tc to to. Modification of the melt rheology by matrix polymer composition and carbon black size and concentration has previously been explored. Here, the melt rheology of toners with a range of gel content was studied using a step shear test. The coupled relaxation model was employed to fit the stress relaxation data. The viscoelastic properties were calculated from the melt data with this model. These properties were then used to estimate the strain deformation of the toner as it passes through the nip with arbitrary residence time and nip pressure as a function of gel content. This method can be used to match the toner melt properties with the processing conditions.

    Notes: The unified numerical simulation of the filling/postfilling stages of the injection-molding process described in Part I is compared in the present paper with experimental results obtained with instrumented test molds. Flush-mounted pressure traces in the delivery system as well as in the cavity are favorably compared with corresponding predictions for both an amorphous and a semicrystalline polymer. It is demonstrated that the present unified formulation is well suited to handle complicated molds where compressibility effects can become important even during the filling stage, as portions of the cavity fill and undergo a packing behavior even when other regions of the cavity are still only partially filled.

    Notes: This study employs a unified theoretical model to simulate the filling and postfilling stages of the injection-molding process. Implementation of such a model is based on a hybrid finite-element/finite-difference numerical solution of the generalized Hele-Shaw flow of a compressible viscous fluid under nonisothermal conditions. The shear viscosity of the polymeric material is represented by a Cross model for the shear-rate dependence and a WLF-type functional form for the temperature and pressure dependence, whereas the specific volume is modeled in terms of a double-domain Tait equation. The analysis also handles variable specific heat and thermal conductivity of the polymer as a function of temperature. Complex thin parts of variable thickness can be modeled and discretized by flat, triangular finite elements which may have arbitrary orientation in three-dimensional space, whereas runners and possible round pins or bosses in the part are represented as one-dimensional circular-tube elements. A control-volume scheme is employed that leads to automatic melt-front advancement during the cavity-filling stage.

    Notes: The characteristic sigmoid compressive stress-strain relationships of sponges and their layered arrays are described by two kinds of mathematical models having three experimentally determined parameters. Since sponge compression is not accompanied by a significant cross-sectional area expansion, it was assumed that the stress in a multilayered array is the same in each layer. This enables prediction of the array's stress-strain relationship from the parameters of the individual layers and their known thickness. The applicability of the method is demonstrated with experimental data of two kinds of double-layered arrays of polyurethane sponges. It is shown that the arrays' compressive behavior can be satisfactorily predicted irrespective of the mathematical form of the model and whether the strain is expressed as engineering strain or Hencky's.

    Notes: The gapwise density distributions of the injection molded specimens of two engineering thermoplastics, i.e., poly(phenylene ether) and poly(ether imide), were characterized employing the density gradient column technique. The samples were molded using a 40t Van Dorn injection molding machine. The effects of the thermal history on the density distribution of unconstrained quenched specimens were also investigated. In addition, various material properties, such as pressure-volume-temperature, isothermal contraction, and pressure induced densification behavior were characterized, for the two resins employed in this study. The moldings of the two resins exhibited different trends in their density distributions. These findings were explained in terms of the competing effects of cooling rate and the pressure history experienced by the engineering plastic resins during the molding cycle. The data collected were also used as input to mathematical modeling of density distributions in injection molded articles, which is reported in Part II of this article.

    Notes: The problem of steady solidification of a power law fluid flowing in a round tube was solved numerically. The fluid considered was a polymer with temperature dependent viscosity. The mathematical solution was obtained by using an implicit finite difference method. Results are presented to show the effects of the Peclet number, Nahme number, and the power law index on the profiles of the frozen layer. Melt temperature profiles at different axial locations are also presented.

    Notes: Extensional flow of a bicomponent two-layer slot cast coextrusion process has been studied. A Newtonian and an upper-convected Maxwell fluid were considered to be the two layers, respectively, and the two-layer flow was assumed to be steady and isothermal. This choice was made as a simple model for a system which consists of two distinctly different fluids in terms of their extensional behaviors. Present study considered only the draw-down region where the film thickness changes slowly with the distance from the die exit. For this region, asymptotic solutions could be obtained for two limiting cases in which the elasticity effect of the Maxwell fluid layer is small and the applied tension at the take-off is large, respectively. When the elasticity effect is small, the melt thickness and the velocity profiles are exponential as in the case of a Newtonian single-layer flow. When the applied tension is large, on the other hand, the velocity profile is shown to be near linear. Furthermore, the viscoelasticity effect of the Maxwell fluid layer becomes so dominant that it dictates the mechanics of the coextrusion flow even when its flow rate and shear viscosity may be much smaller than those of the Newtonian layer.

    Notes: Optimal open loop control strategies are developed for a semibatch free radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate using the multiobjective dynamic optimization method. A detailed kinetic model is validated through experimentation and used for the design of optimal controls. Both monomer feed rate and reactor temperature are varied to produce the copolymer of desired composition and molecular weight. The open loop control policies are implemented in a process control computer and tested on an experimental stirred tank polymerization system. Excellent agreement between the model predictions and the experimental data have been obtained.

    Notes: The dynamic behavior of two continuous stirred tank reactors in series has been investigated for free radical solution polymerization of styrene with a binary mixture of two initiators having different thermal decomposition activities. For a wide range of initiator feed composition, both reactors exhibit quite complex nonlinear steady state and transient behavior. When the reactor residence time is used as a bifurcation parameter, the second reactor can have up to five steady states. For certain range of reactor operating conditions, bifurcations to various types of periodic solutions have been observed, such as Hopf bifurcation, isolas, period doubling, period-doubling cascade, and homoclinics. The effects of other reactor variables, such as total initiator concentration, coolant temperature, and reactor volume ratio on the reactor dynamics, are illustrated to show the complex dynamic behavior of the two-reactor system catalyzed by a mixture of t-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide.

    Notes: This paper presents the development of a novel in-line extrusion rheometer based on the flow of polymer through a wedge (vertically tapered slit). This rheometer is suitable for measuring changes in rheological properties on-line during reactive extrusion, because it can be used to estimate the viscosity for a range of shear rates without the need to change the polymer flow rate (i.e., extruder throughput). Equations have been developed to estimate the parameters of the power-law equation, used to describe the viscosity-shear rate relationship, from measurements of pressure drops along the wedge. An experimental in-line wedge rheometer has been built and used to measure the viscosity for a series of polypropylenes prepared via reactive extrusion. Viscosity measurements from the experimental in-line wedge rheometer are compared with measurements from a capillary rheometer. Good agreement is found between the capillary and wedge rheometer measurements.

    Notes: Orbital space structures are required to be lightweight, have high specific stiffness, have near-zero coefficient of thermal expansion, exhibit low outgassing, and be cost-effective. Graphite-reinforced thermoplastics have the potential to satisfy the criteria noted. However, prior to committing the materials to specific projects, technology demonstration and risk reduction is necessary. In order to demonstrate the application of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites for truss structure applications, a graphite-reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) composite tetrahedron truss array was designed and manufactured. The resulting structure clearly demonstrated that fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are a viable alternative to epoxy composites for orbital structures.

    Notes: The 371°C (700°F) properties of Celion 6000/N-phenylnadimide modified PMR-15 polyimide composites were investigated to determine the feasibility of using these materials at a 371°C (700°F) service temperature. The processing characteristics and physical and mechanical properties of the composite systems are presented. The results of the 371°C thermooxidative stability study suggest that the composite materials can be considered for short-term (at least 100 hours) application at 371°C.

    Notes: A series of graphite fiber/PMR-15 polyimide composites, isothermally aged at 316°C in flowing air (100 cc/min) for time periods up to 2000 h, were investigated for mechanical property changes, fiber/resin interface changes, overall dimensional changes, and weight loss. The mechanism of the degradation process is suggested based on shear and flexural property measurements at room temperature and 316°C, optical micrographs of composite cross sections, and SEM analysis of fractured surfaces. The fiber materials investigated in composite form were Celion 6000 unsized and epoxy sized. G40-700 unsized and epoxy sized, and T40R and IM6 both unsized.

    Notes: Recently, we reported on the interpenetrating polyimide network (IPN) approach to develop tough and microcracking resistant high temperature matrix resins for use in aircraft/aerospace structural components. One such polymer developed is designated LaRC-RP40. This new simultaneous semi-IPN was prepared from easy-to-process but brittle crosslinking PMR-15 and tough but difficult-to-process linear NR-150B2. Significantly improved toughness, microcracking resistance, and glass transition temperature over PMR-15 were realized from the combination. These property improvements were achieved without compromising ease of processing, high temperature mechanical performance, and cost effectiveness compared to PMR-15. These results encouraged us to further explore this approach for the development of a wider range of polymers of basic technological and economic interest. In the present work, we combine crosslinking PMR-15 and linear LaRC-TPI to provide a new sequential semi-2-IPN called LaRC-RP41. The physical and mechanical properties of the neat resin and composite reinforced with graphite fibers are presented. The phase morphology and phase stability of the neat resin and composite studied by various techniques are also discussed.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of three dimensional stitched composites were compared against those of the traditional two dimensional laminates. An attempt was made to correlate the change in properties to the change in the third directional fiber density. Tests conducted were the impact, three-point bending, damage tolerance, end notched flexure, and bending fatigue test. The results of these tests show that the third directional fibers can effectively inhibit delamination by increasing the interlaminar shear strength. Three dimensional composites also possess better damage tolerance, fracture toughness, and fatigue life. However, a high stitching density can degrade the in-plane properties of the composites.

    Notes: Research has been conducted to investigate the water absorption in carbon fiber reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK/CF) and poly(phenylene sulfide) composites (PPS/CF). Effect of humidity and temperature on tensile, flexural, and impact strength of these composites were also studied. Results indicated that the water absorbed in PPS/CF and PEEK/CF are 0.059 %wt, 0.130 %wt, 0.138 %wt, and 0.153 %wt at 80°C. 75 %RH and 85 %RH, respectively. The diffusion process is a classical Fickian diffusion in the temperature range investigated. The activation energies of diffusion are 667 cal/g-mole (for PPS/CF) and 8934 cal/g-mole (for PEEK/CF) at 80°C and 75 %RH. The retention of mechanical properties of these composites is very good under hot-wet conditions. These composite materials can be served as high performance materials even in the hostile environment. PEEK/CF composites shows excellent mechanical properties retention even at 80°C, 75 %RH, and 85 %RH.

    Notes: A feasibility study on the use of vibration spectrum analysis as a tool for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of polymer composites was conducted. Material integrity of polymer composite samples was determined from the vibrational measurements by analyzing the resonant frequency and damping information. A number of important “states” in the composites tested could be characterized by this analysis. The vibration tehnique was found to be sensitive to physical flawing (fiber breakage, delamination, and matrix cracking). Vibrational NDE has many potential advantages that make it very attractive for composite applications. These include the ability to make global measurements of large structures in real-time, no geometry restrictions, and high sensitivity to a wide variety of damage states.

    Notes: Resin transfer molding (RTM) of advanced fiber architecture materials promises to be a cost effective process for obtaining composite parts with exceptional strength. However there are a larger number of material processing parameters that must be observed, known, and/or controlled during the resin transfer molding process. These include the viscosity both during impregnation and cure. In-situ sensors which can observe these processing properties within the RTM tool during the fabrication process are essential. This paper will discuss recent work on the use of frequency dependent electromagnetic sensing (FDMS) techniques to monitor these properties in the RTM tool. Our objective is to use these sensing techniques to address problems of RTM scaleup for large complex parts and to develop a closed loop, intelligent, sensor controlled RTM fabrication process.

    Notes: The time-averaged void fraction, pressure drop and flow regime transition behavior of horizontal air-water two-phase flows is studied experimentally and numerically for 2-cm-inner-diameter tubes with various flow dividing junctions at its end. The time-average void and pressure drop behavior along the channel is simulated using a two fluid separated flow model. The results show that two-phase behavior (flow regime, void fraction, and pressure drop) is affected strongly by the presence of a flow division in the system. These effects extend far upstream of the junction for low-momentum flows and far downstream for high-momentum flows. Both numerical and experimental results show that there occurs a large increase in void just downstream of the junction owing to the halving of the fluid volume flow rates and the liquid deceleration.

    Notes: Nonequilibrium diffusion behavior in nonionic and ionic surfactant microemulsion systems has been studied experimentally using the open-ended capillary method. Experimental results for these systems have been compared with a drop theory of diffusion for microemulsions under conditions where large concentration and electrostatic gradients exist. The results show good agreement in concentration profiles between theory and experiment for the microemulsion components - water, benzene, and phenol. Furthermore, under certain conditions the theory predicts that over a limited time interval phenol will diffuse from low-concentration regions to regions of higher concentration. This phenomenon has been observed.

    Notes: Three parametric sensitivity criteria were examined for application to a pseudohomogeneous tubular reactor system, in which both methanol dehydration (exothermic) and methanol dissociation (endothermic) were catalyzed. The addition of the endothermic reaction was shown to lead to a desensitized reactor. It was illustrated, however, that the relative activities of the two catalysts should be somewhat similar to maintain the overall conversion of the resulting reactor for a given residence time.The three criteria investigated tended to disagree with one another more, as the system was made less sensitive by the addition of more endothermic catalyst. A potential application of the resulting nonsensitive reactor design would be in methanol-fueled vehicles.

    Notes: The tray hydrodynamics were determined for a system containing water and kerosene as immiscible liquids. Plates with hole diameters ranging from 3.18 to 12.70 mm were used in a 44.5-cm2 perspex air-water-kerosene simulator. Experiments were also carried out in a 50-mm-ID column using different depths of oil and water mixtures to study the drop and bubble mechanisms. A spray-to-bubble transition occurred for the two liquid-phase system experiments. The liquid holdup at the transition increased directly with gas velocity and hole diameter, and decreased with increasing free area. At the same hole velocity, the presence of two liquid phases caused the transition to occur at different liquid holdups than for the single pure liquid. Two different modes of coalescence were observed in the small column work. New correlations have been proposed for the liquid holdup at the transition which allow for the presence of two liquid phases.

    Notes: A computational study of fully-developed flow of gas-particle suspensions in vertical pipes was carried out, using the model proposed recently by Sinclair and Jackson (1989), to understand the predicted scale-up characteristics. It was shown that the model can capture the existence of steady-state multiplicity wherein different pressure gradients can be obtained for the same gas and solids fluxes. A pronounced and nonmonotonic variation of the pressure gradient required to achieve desired fluxes of solid and gas with tube diameter was predicted by the model, and this is explained on a physical basis. The computed results were compared with the experimental data. The model manifests an unsatisfactory degree of sensitivity to the inelasticity of the particle-particle collisions and the damping of particle-phase fluctuating motion by the gas.

    Notes: The solubility of L-serine in water was measured as a function of temperature, and the solubility in methanol-water solutions was determined as a function of temperature and methanol concentration. Solubility in aqueous solutions was found to be a linear function of temperature. Additionally, a statistical design of experiments was used to identify the kinetic variables that influence the purity of L-serine crystals recovered by batch crystallization. Agitation and the rate at which super-saturation was generated through cooling and methanol addition were found to influence the methanol content of the recovered crystals. The size of the recovered crystals also was found to depend on agitation and the rate at which methanol was added to the L-serine mother liquor.

    Notes: An emulsion layer model is presented which predicts the thickness of a downward-moving emulsion layer along the wall of a circulating fluidized bed, the mean solids velocity, and the solids flux in the layer. Also presented is a heat transfer model which, in combination with the emulsion layer model, predicts the low-temperature data very well. An alternate slab model proposed for the radiative component in a high-temperature circulating fluidized bed agrees well with experimental data. The heat transfer predictions of the overall model for such operating parameters as solid circulation flux, suspension temperature, length of the heat transfer surface, superficial gas velocity, and mean particle size are in good agreement with the published data for long surfaces.

    Notes: The sorption behavior of water and ethanol on starch material has been investigated in relation to the adsorptive separation of water from ethanol. The adsorption isotherms of water-starch, ethanol-starch and water-ethanol-starch were measured using a Cahn electrobalance. Careful examination of the many sorption isotherm models resulted in selection of Sircar's model and the potential theory to best represent the isotherm data of water-starch and ethanol-starch adsorption. Experimental results showed that ethanol as well as water can adsorb on starch. The adsorption rate of ethanol, however, is much slower than that of water. This suggests that the selective removal of water from ethanol vapor in a packed-bed adsorber is likely a rate-dependent, not an equilibrium-dependent, process.

    Notes: The influence of various operating and liquid-phase physical variables on interfacial area ab in cylindrical and spherical gas-liquid stirred contactors was studied using the sulfite method. Studied were stirring speed, sparger porosity, gas flow rate, liquid-phase temperature, surface tension, and pH.The results show that the influence of operating variables (gas flow rate Qg, stirring speed ω, and the average pore radius of the sparger used rp) on ab, for both types of contactors, can be given by the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ a_b = Q_g^{0.5} \left({\frac{{k_1 }}{{k_2 }} + \frac{{k_2 }}{{r_p^{1.5} }}\omega } \right) $$\end{document} Dependency of ab on surface tension observed was believed to be caused by a rising rate of bubble coalescence with increased surfactant concentration. The higher the surfactant concentration, the lower ab, tending to a limit that depends on both the type of surfactant and the average size of sparger pore used. Due to the measurement method used, solution pH and temperature were also observed to influence ab.

    Notes: A correlation was developed to quantitatively describe the flux in a high-speed rotating filtration device using a minimum set of parameters. The experimental results were found to be consistent with the concentration polarization (CP) model. Beyond a threshold pressure flux ceases to depend on membrane permeability. The CP model was modified to include the concentration dependence of the diffusivity. This approach was found to be consistent with the strong dependence of flux on pH. Protein concentration in the polarized layer adjacent to the membrane surface was estimated using a procedure that corrects for some of the inconsistencies in the methods usually applied. Four dimensionless numbers were necessary to correlate the experiments with good accuracy. Previously-reported correlations used only three dimensionless numbers. Usage of four numbers could be justified by dimensional analysis. Finally, the performance of rotary or vortex filtration was compared to that of other configurations.

    Notes: The problem of freely-suspended liquid droplets deforming due to an applied electrostatic field is examined. Developed is a numerical model capable of predicting the complete transient histories of droplets in systems with a wide range of dispersedand continuous-phase densities, viscosities, relative permittivities, and electric field strengths. For liquid/gas systems, the predictions of the numerical model demonstrated that the critical field strength and critical permittivity ratio during actual transient breakup are not necessarily the same as those predicted by steady-state theories. An approximate analytical model of transient droplet deformation is also developed, which is able to predict the deformation time histories for large Ohnesorge number, small-deformation liquid/liquid systems. The approximate analytical model agreed well with the results of the complete numerical model.

    Notes: We present an explicit analytical solution for the Lévêque's problem with the boundary condition of the third kind. This solution is applicable to problems of mass (heat) transfer with surface reaction (surface resistance) in the entry region of fully developed flow fields of power law fluids, and to the developing boundary layer flows that admit Falkner-Skan solutions, provided that the Schmidt (Prandtl) number is large. The series form of the solution developed by inversion of the Laplace transform has excellent convergence properties within the concentration (temperature) boundary layer in contrast to the integral forms that are usually reported for problems of this type. An efficient computational algorithm for evaluation of the surface concentration is presented, as well as accurate approximate formulas in the form of simple algebraic expressions for the local and average mass (heat) transfer coefficients and the surface concentration (temperature).

    Notes: The finite element method was used to model microwave thawing of pure-water and 0.1-M NaCl cylinders. The electromagnetic field was described by Maxwell's equations with temperature-dependent dielectric properties, while the heat equation, coupled with the Stefan and Robin conditions, was used to describe the thawing process. An additional equation for the frozen volume fraction was used, when necessary, to account for the presence of a mushy region. Two microwave frequencies, 915 MHz and 2,450 MHz, were examined and the microwave radiation was assumed to be radially isotropic and normal to the surface of the cylinder. Results show that a two-phase mushy region may exist, and an additional thawing front may appear at the center of the cylinder. Salt cylinders have a higher dielectric loss than pure-water cylinders and therefore thaw more quickly. Internal resonance occurs when the wavelength of the radiation is a harmonic of the cylinder radius. Resonance increases power deposition and expedites the thawing process. The onset of resonance alters thawing times and complicates the development of heuristic rules for microwave thawing.

    Notes: An experimental study of the dynamics of electrodissolution of iron in sulfuric acid is reported. The experiments were done under potentiostatic conditions with a rotating disk electrode as a function of two parameters, potential and electrode diameter. The dynamic behavior depends strongly on the latter parameter; with increasing electrode size we observe transitions from periodic oscillations to low-order chaos to higher-order chaos. The attractor dimension increases with increasing electrode size. In addition, for the large electrodes at more positive potentials, a secondary higher frequency oscillation also arises.

    Notes: A generalized technique for modeling resist performance is outlined. In this approach, the fraction of resist remaining after development as a function of incident dose, or characteristic curve, is related to the development rate which is assumed to be a power law of a dominant soluble species. Soluble species are either photochemically consumed for negative resists or generated for positive. Expressions for the dependence of characteristic curves on exposure dose and chemistry are derived for various resist systems, which are consistent with current models. For similar chemical kinetics, negative resists yield fewer lumped parameters to describe their development rate and characteristic curves than positive.Under conditions of negligible surface inhibition, lumped parameters can be extracted from characteristic curves and used to simulate lithography. A generalized method to correct for absorption in the resist and reflections is outlined. Exposure latitude was accurately predicted for a commercial negative chemically amplified resist. However, prediction of linewidths from characteristic curves of positive resists is complicated by surface inhibition effects.

    Notes: The sensitivity of the calculated micropore size of zeolite Y in a fluidized cracking catalyst based on empirical models for argon adsorption has been tested by examining the effect of curvature and by systematically verifying the magnitude of physical constants in the model equations. With a consistent set of physical parameters the slit model provided a pore size value of 0.45 nm, while the new cylindrical models provided values of 0.69 and 0.74 nm. The latter values are found to correspond well with the known aperture size of zeolite Y, 0.74 nm. By separately varying the magnitudes of five of the physical constants in the model over a range of ±30%, it was concluded that the diameter of the oxide ion at the surface had a large effect on the calculated pore size, while the other parameters had only moderate to small effects. Preliminary application of the cylindrical pore model to isotherms of argon on other zeolites and molecular sieves leads to promising results, especially for medium to large pore zeolites. These results suggest that the cylindrical pore model is a useful means for the transformation of argon adsorption data on a zeolite into a micropore size distribution.

    Notes: Efforts to model the turbulent flow in stirred tanks require accurate boundary conditions at the tip of the impeller, not just of velocities, but of the turbulence quantities k and ε. Kolar's (1982) phenomenological, swirling radial jet model of the impeller region is extended by using a two-equation k - ε turbulence model to obtain direct estimates of k and ε on the impeller periphery. The model is extended and clarified, so that the number of parameters required for its application is reduced to two: the rotational speed and the diameter of the impeller. Three-dimensional simulations allow a realistic treatment of the baffles. Agreement of the modeling results with recently published experimental data is excellent. This is particularly true in the important impeller discharge zone, where details of the predicted behavior of the turbulence kinetic energy and dissipation rate are in quantitative agreement with the available data. Based on these results, average values of ε are calculated, along with the zones over which the apply. For the impeller discharge zone, the dimensionless, volume-averaged ε is 0.19.

    Notes: Simple distillation columns with ideal vapor-liquid equilibrium may display multiple steady-state solutions. Two fundamentally different sources for the multiplicity are presented. Both bring about the unexpected result that increasing reflux makes separation worse in the top part of the column. It corresponds to an unstable operating point.The first type of multiplicity is found for columns with mass or volume inputs (e.g., mass reflux and molar boilup). Even for constant molar flows, the transformation from the actual input units to molar units may become singular (corresponding to a pitchfork bifurcation point), resulting in multiple steady-state solutions. The results are highly relevant in practice, as industrial columns usually have inputs on a mass or volume basis. The second type for specifications on a molar basis (e.g., molar reflux and molar boilup) depends on the presence of an energy balance in the model. The multiplicity is caused by interactions between flows and compositions in the column.

    Notes: The interstitial pressure buildup and the internal stresses on the skeleton of a cylindrical green body during burnout are analyzed numerically. The intrinsic kinetics of pyrolysis is coupled with the Carman-Kozeny equation or the slip-flow model of Wakao and Smith to evaluate the pressure distribution. The stress distributions before failure are estimated from elasticity theory. The stresses are tensile, and their maxima are located at the center of the cylinder. The tangential stress is larger than the radial stress. The effects of green body size, specific surface area, and pressurized atmosphere are discussed. The approximate solution is accurate for small green bodies. The pressurized atmosphere reduces the interstitial pressure and the internal stresses effectively.

    Notes: Recent advances in knowledge engineering have led to develop the qualitative (deep) model based diagnostic systems. As process knowledge accumulated, however, the diagnostic system remains strictly qualitative. This limits the usefulness of such systems. In this work, a framework is developed for integrating quantitative process knowledge into the qualitative model. Once quantitative process information, e.g., steady-state gains, is available, it can be incorporated into the simplest qualitative process model called the signed directed graph. The quantitative process knowledge is described in terms of membership functions of fuzzy set theory. According to the measurement pattern, the truth values of a hypothesis (e.g., a fault origin) can be calculated based on the fuzzy logic. Consequently, the diagnostic resolution can be improved significantly. Furthermore, the proposed method becomes a strictly qualitative diagnostic system, if no quantitative information is available. A chemical reactor example illustrates the design and performance of the qualitative/quantitative model-based diagnostic system. The proposed approach can also be extended to the multiple-fault situations in a straightforward manner.

    Notes: Ignition, extinction and autothermal behavior of surface and homogeneous oxidation reactions of CH4, NH3, and mixed NH3/CH4 fuel systems in air over resistively heated Pt foils was studied in an atmospheric pressure flow reactor. Also examined were the effects of varying fuel concentration on the ignition, extinction, and autothermal surface temperatures. Heterogeneous ignition occurred at ∼200°C for NH3 and at ∼600°C for CH4. The mixed fuel systems exhibited two surface ignitions (∼200°C and ∼600°C), implying a sequential ignition of the two fuels. The effects of removing one of the fuels during autothermal operation gave results consistent with this hypothesis.In homogeneous ignition, two types of flames were observed: a boundary layer flame associated with NH3 systems and an independent flame observed in all systems. Homogeneous ignition of the two fuels and the mixtures occurred at surface temperatures ranging from 1,100°C to 1,600°C and appeared to be dominated by CH4 in the mixed systems. A generic behavior is proposed for homogenous-heterogeneous combustion of single and mixed fuels.

    Notes: High-surface-area, Zr-pillared, layered clays are synthesized and characterized for their adsorption properties. Although large free interlayer spacings are claimed in the literature (as also found in this work, 14.3 Å), the limiting pore size is the narrow interpillar spacing. The distribution of interpillar spacing is determined by molecular probing and adsorption data along with a theoretical framework available from the literature. Interpillar spacing can be tailored by controlling the number density of pillars inserted during the ion exchange (oligomer inserting) step. The following variables in the ion exchange solution result in lowering the pillar density: higher pH, lower oligomer concentration, and introduction of competitive cations. By changing these variables, peak interpillar spacing is shifted by nearly 2 Å (from 5 to 7 Å). The versatility of pillared clays as sorbents for kinetic separation (i.e., separation based on diffusivity differences) has been demonstrated by the separations of air and xylene isomers.

    Notes: Adsorption of air in 5A zeolites was studied using Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble (μ, V, T constant). Site-site potentials were used to model the adsorbate-zeolite and adsorbate-adsorbate interactions. The potential model contains one adjustable parameter that was fit to a single experimental isotherm data point. Adsorption isotherms and heats of adsorption were determined for pure argon, oxygen, and nitrogen at 203.15 K, 233.15 K, and 297.15 K from 0.1 bar to 4.0 bar. Multicomponent adsorption isotherms were determined for binary mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen at 203.15 K. The results for the pure-component isotherms are in excellent agreement with experimental data. The results for the heat of adsorption are in good agreement with experimental data for argon and oxygen, but not for nitrogen. The results for multicomponent adsorption isotherms are qualitatively correct; however, the simulation was not able to quantitatively predict mixture data.

    Notes: Equilibrium adsorption data for the N-benzoyl derivatives of D- and L-phenyl alanine in water/propanol solutions have been determined on a chiral-selective stationary phase, bovine serum albumin immobilized on silica. These data are well accounted for by an isotherm equation resulting from the sum of two Langmuir terms. The first term corresponds to the chiral-selective interactions, and the second to the nonselective molecular interactions between the enantiomers and the stationary phase. The individual band profiles of the two enantiomeric amino acids, either pure or in binary mixtures of various compositions, are predicted exactly by an equilibrium dispersive model using this bi-Langmuir isotherm. A classical Langmuir isotherm fails to predict these band profiles, illustrating the importance to collect accurate adsorption data and to use a correct isotherm model when calculating chromatographic band profiles.

    Notes: Waxy crude oils are highly non-Newtonian materials known to cause handling and pipelining difficulties and whose flow properties are time- and history-dependent. Experimental techniques are described that enable reproducible steady-state flow property data to be obtained from rotational viscometers. The flow properties are shown to depend strongly on the shear rate applied during cooling (shear history effect). This leads to a definable minimum operating point below which flow in a waxy crude oil pipeline would cease. Modified pipeline design techniques are presented for both laminar and turbulent flow at temperatures below the pour point, and it is shown that existing techniques overestimate the flow rate in laminar flow by the order of 100%. The modified design techniques can be used to quantitatively assess the performance of flow improver (pour point depressant) additives under steady-state conditions.

    Notes: Direct conversion of methane into higher hydrocarbons (ethane, ethylene, and to small extent C3-4 hydrocarbons) by its partial oxidation with oxygen in the absence of catalyst has been investigated. It was carried out in a quartz flow reactor at atmospheric pressure under nonflame conditions at different temperatures (1,123-1,273 K), CH4/O2 ratios (1.7-9.0), space velocities (500-5,000 h-1), and water concentrations (0.0-80 mol %) in the feed. No coke deposition was observed in the reactor, but there was a formation of small amounts of tarry matter in the reaction at ≥ 1,223 K, particularly for the lower CH4/O2 ratios (≤3.5). The product distribution in the process was strongly influenced by the dilution of feed with N2 or water. Addition of water in the feed was highly beneficial to obtaining higher yield and/or to selectivity for the higher hydrocarbons and suppressing almost completely the formation of tarry matter.

    Notes: An important application of the recently developed techniques in qualitative mathematical modeling is to qualitatively predict how changes in the operation of chemical units affect their behavior. Weld (1987, 1988a,b) has developed a series of comparative techniques that analyze the effect of perturbations to the parameters of a given qualitative unit model. In this article we demonstrate a system, based on the qualitative process theory of Forbus (1984), which extends comparative analysis in two ways. First, it predicts the effects of changes in the qualitative equations and in parameter values. Secondly, it compares physical descriptions, rather than comparing models directly, and builds and compares the associated models automatically.

    Notes: The onset of three-dimensional reaction-driven convection in a porous medium is investigated using linear stability theory. The geometries investigated include a finite cylinder and a rectangular parallelepipped of arbitrary aspect ratios. The analysis determines, among other things, the likely modes (flow patterns) to emerge first as a function of reaction parameters and aspect ratios. The flow fields corresponding to three-dimensional modes are described in detail. Important qualitative differences are found between reaction-driven convection and the standard Lapwood or Bénard convection due to a temperature gradient applied to the boundaries of the system.The second part of the work examines numerically reaction-driven natural convection in a porous two-dimensional rectangular box. Orthogonal collocation and continuation techniques are used to determine the conduction and convection branches of solutions as a function of the Rayleigh number (Ra), the Frank-Kamenetskii number (δ) and the aspect ratio (α). The convective solutions (streamlines and isotherms) corresponding to primary, secondary and tertiary bifurcations are presented. The effect of natural convection (Ra) on the ignition point (critical δ value) is determined for three different aspect ratios.

    Notes: A theoretical model comprising the processes of micropore, macropore and surface diffusion was derived and applied to the dynamics of adsorption of CO2 on a single activated-carbon particle. The effects of a nonlinear isotherm (Langmuir), particle nonisothermality and concentration dependence of the surface diffusivity were also incorporated. The theoretical model was fitted to a preliminary set of adsorption experimental data (two particle sizes, and various temperatures and concentrations) to determine the diffusion coefficients. The validity of the theoretical model was checked by using the model, with fitted diffusivities, to simulate dynamic adsorption curves at conditions different from those of the preliminary fitting data set. These model simulations were found to predict the experimental data in a satisfactory manner.

    Notes: In chromatographic separations involving elutes with large differences in the molecular size, the adsorption saturation capacities of the elutes may differ because of the differences in the degree of size exclusion. With uneven saturation capacities, isotherm crossovers may occur, which often results in selectivity reversal. In this work, a new multicomponent isotherm has been developed for this kind of system. The isotherm is an extension of the common multicomponent Langmuir isotherm and introduces no or a very limited number of new parameters for its construction. The isotherm crossover conditions have also been derived. Simulations based on a general rate model using the new isotherm have successfully demonstrated the phenomena of peak reversal and crossover of breakthrough curves.

    Notes: Oscillations of a conducting drop immersed in a dielectric fluid in an alternating electric field were modeled to understand the enhancement of transport processes by the electric field. Numerical solutions for oscillation amplitude, velocity distribution, resonant frequency and streamlines were obtained. The effects of viscosity and density on the resonant frequency and the velocity distribution were investigated. It was found that the resonant frequency of viscous fluids was always smaller than the free oscillation frequency of the same droplet. The predicted scanning frequency response curve and the streamlines agree well with the experimental observations.

    Notes: A direct numerical simulation (DNS) code has been modified to investigate chemically reacting flows in a stationary, homogeneous turbulence. Single and multispecies reactions as well as complicated reaction schemes such as parallel/consecutive reactions are studied. The effects of some parameters are discussed. The numerical data are used to test a simple first-order closure model, proposed by Dutta and Tarbell (1989), for turbulent reacting flows. It is shown that the DNS technique provides us with an effective tool to isolate the effects of different parameters and is likely to be useful for proposing and testing closure models.

    Notes: Most existing criteria for predicting parametric sensitivity or runaway in a catalytic reactor are based on a single-phase model that does not account for interparticle heat and mass transfer resistances and intraparticle diffusion. Accounting for these effects, the simple criterion \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\frac{E}{{RT_f }}\frac{{(- \Delta H)r(T_f,C_f)}}{{T_f }}\left[{\frac{{d_t }}{{4U}} + \frac{{d_p }}{{6h}}} \right] 〈 0.368f(\phi _0)$$\end{document} defines the boundary of operating conditions, in which a catalytic reactor is insensitive to small perturbations. Here, r(Tf,Cf) is the intrinsic reaction rate at inlet conditions, dt(dp) and U(h) are the diameter of reactor tube (catalyst particle) and heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and tube wall (catalyst particle), respectively. The function f(φ0), where φ0 is the normalized Thiele modulus at inlet conditions, accounts for the effects of intraparticle diffusion. For the common case of equal coolant and feed temperatures, f(φ0) = 1 for φ0 〈 0.5 and f(φ0) = 2 φ0 for φ0〉0.5. The conservatism associated with the above criterion is comparable to the uncertainty involved in determining the parameters of the packed bed.

    Notes: Pure fluids and mixtures of species that hydrogen bond behave differently from systems that interact only through dispersion forces. The deviations from classical behavior often are sufficiently large that conventional equations of state and activity models cannot be used without the introduction of large, condition-dependent empirical parameters. Consequently, three different classes of theories have been developed specifically to treat hydrogen-bonding systems. The first is based on the assumption that when molecules hydrogen-bond, they react to form new species and consequently is referred to as “chemical” theory. The second is based on lattice-fluid theory that is used to describe different types of specific interactions and is known as “quasi-chemical” theory. The last is based on the solution of integral equations using a potential function that mimics that of a hydrogen bond. It is shown here that these three approaches give essentially equivalent results. This allows one to relate the parameters in the perturbation theory to the equilibrium constant and hence greatly improves its utility for real systems. All three theories are compared with simulation data.

    Notes: Diamond-like carbon films have been deposited from ternary mixtures of butadiene, hydrogen and argon in a parallel plate plasma reactor at constant pressure and power. These films have been etched in O2 and CF4/O2 plasma discharges. A new linear relationship between the composition of the deposition gas mixture and a dimensionless number (EN) defined in terms of etch and deposition rates and the bias voltage during deposition has been derived. EN is a function of the ion flux during deposition. Electron-impact ionization processes are considered for relating the ion flux to the feed gas composition and ionization potentials. The etch and deposition rate data follow this linear relationship very well. The proportionality constant in this linear relationship varies with composition for CF4/O2 etching data. Film hardness and failure modes on silicon and glass substrates are also described.

    Notes: The development of a concentration gradient along the vertical axis of a column of quiescent solution is explained within the framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The formulae derived enabled us to determine explicitly the concentration difference between two vertical levels in a liquid column and specific conditions under which the concentration profile is at equilibrium. The concept of solute cluster formation in a supersaturated solution is consistent with the presented theory although the theory itself does not provide any direct or indirect proof of the occurrence of clustering.

    Notes: The heat transfer to, and the resultant evaporation of, drops of a volatile liquid sprayed upward in an immiscible liquid flowing down in a vertical column are analyzed to enable calculation of the volumetric heat transfer coefficient in the column. For this analysis, a model is contrived that assumes no nucleation delay in initially monodispersed drops and a heat transfer to each of the drops, with simultaneous evaporation, that can be approximated by an empirical correlation for heat transfer to an isolated drop evaporating in a quiescent, sufficiently extended medium. The expression obtained for the volumetric heat transfer coefficient is used to predict its values under some particular column operating conditions, which are then compared with relevant experimental data found in the literature.

    Notes: We have shown that ionomeric membranes of perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer allow selective pervaporation of polar organic compounds from their azeotropic mixtures with less polar compounds. A composite membrane of a thin PFSA polymer film, cast on a porous Teflon support, provided desirable permeant fluxes with good selectivity. Model binary azeotropes, composed of alcohols and hydrocarbons, were separated with total pervaporation fluxes of up to 9.5 kg/h·m2 using a stirred membrane permeation cell, the product side of which was exposed to vacuum. Fluxes increased with increasing alcohol content of the feed and with temperature. But the selectivity of the more permeating component remained reasonably constant around the azeotropic point and also over the range of temperature used in the study (25-55°C). Total pervaporation fluxes depended little on downstream pressure up to 6.66 kPa (50 torr). These separation data were explained by a mathematical model based on a solution-diffusion mechanism.

    Notes: The distribution coefficients of the solutes (toluene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene) are reported at infinite dilution between silicone rubber and supercriticalfluid carbon dioxide. A new technique is described in which a thin film of polymer is coated and cross-linked onto silica, and the distribution coefficient is measured rapidly by elution supercritical-fluid chromatography. Because CO2 significantly enhances the solute's volatility and its diffusion coefficient in the polymer, it is possible to study solute-polymer interactions at room temperature for nonvolatile compounds which would be difficult to study by conventional techniques such as gas chromatography. These infinite dilution data are used to determine solutepolymer interaction parameters to calculate phase diagrams over a wide concentration range. The residual, combinatorial, and cross-link contributions to the solute activity coefficient in the polymer are discussed as a function of concentration. In addition, pronounced pressure and temperature effects are described in terms of experimentally measured solute partial molar volumes (to - 14 L/mol) and partial molar enthalpies (to - 850 kJ/mol) in the fluid phase.

    Notes: A major difficulty in control of distillation columns stems from their nonlinear behavior, especially of columns producing high-purity products. Based on a previous development that adapted fixed-bed theories to simple countercurrent processes, this study has established a nonlinear wave theory for the nonlinear and distributed dynamics of binary distillation columns by including the effects of reflux, reboil, and combination of sections. This theory clearly elucidates the intriguing dynamic behavior of distillation columns such as high steady-state gains, large response lags, strong dependence of dynamics on the magnitudes and directions of disturbances, and asymmetric dynamics of the transitions between two steady states. It also underlines the inadequacy of conventional linearized models for high-purity columns. With fairly simple mathematics, this nonlinear wave approach may be useful for model development, control system design, dual-composition control, and feedforward control.

    Notes: The familiar batch concept of extent of reaction is reexamined for systems of reactions occurring in open systems. Because species concentrations change as a result of transport processes as well as reactions in open systems, the extent of reaction has been less useful in practice in these applications. It is shown that by defining the extent of the equivalent batch reaction and a second contribution to the extent of reaction due to the transport processes, it is possible to treat the description of the dynamics of flow through porous media accompanied by many chemical reactions in a uniform, concise manner. This approach tends to isolate the reaction terms among themselves and away from the model partial differential equations, thereby enabling treatment of large problems involving both equilibrium and kinetically controlled reactions. Implications on the number of coupled partial differential equations necessary to be solved and on numerical algorithms for solving such problems are discussed. Examples provided illustrate the theory applied to solute transport in groundwater flow.

    Notes: Uniform submicron crystals of B4C, boron-enriched boron carbide, and B4C/TiB2 composite powders have been synthesized continuously by rapid carbothermal reduction at approximately 2,200 K in a 0.14 m ID × 1.68 m long pilot-scale graphite transport reactor. A unique reactor design allowed for continuous feeding of a meltable boron oxide containing precursor, rapid heating rates that completed the carbothermal reduction reaction in seconds, and an expanded cooling that allowed for the precipitation in space of volatile excess boron oxides. Powder morphology resembled that of powder synthesized by laser pyrolysis of gaseous reactants. Rapid heating rates and minimized reaction times at high temperatures promoted nucleation with limited crystal growth. Dense parts fabricated from these powders had fine grains and extreme hardness.

    Notes: The catalytic activity, product selectivity, and coke deposition were studied during methylcyclopentane (MCP) reforming on bifunctional Pt/Al2O3—Cl reforming catalysts with different metal loadings, but constant metal dispersion as well as constant Cl loading. Surprisingly, the overall conversion of MCP was found to decrease as the metal content of the catalyst increased. Analysis of the coke by temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) revealed two distinct peaks, one associated with coke on the metallic function and the other associated with coke on the acidic function. The change of activity of the metal and acid functions with time was monitored by following the rates of hydrogenolysis and hydrocracking, respectively. A mechanistically-based dual-site model for the kinetics of coke formation and the resulting deactivation was developed. The model successfully correlates the experimental data and is an improvement over existing models, since it explicitly accounts for the deactivation of both the metal and the acid functions.

    Notes: Operational problems are of increasing importance as the process industries turn to the batch manufacture of high-value specialty products. A method is presented to minimize stockout for multiunit plants where customer orders may constitute nonintegral batch multiples. Product- and unit-dependent processing times and batch sizes, sequence-dependent changeover times, and product-to-unit assignment constraints are modeled for nonidentical parallel processes. Arbitrary initial conditions are also modeled. The algorithm determines the number of production runs of each product, run length (lot sizing), the assignment of run to units, and run sequence on each unit.Scheduling with simultaneous lot sizing has not previously been addressed in the literature. The evolutionary method presented here obtains near-optimal (and often globally optimal) solutions on industrial-sized test problems. These results are significant since near-optimal scheduling of many industrial process plants now becomes possible, although problems of this complexity are intractable using exact methods.

    Notes: A spherical pore model for calculating the zeolite cavity radius and the potential energy of interactions of noble gases (Ar, Kr, Xe) is presented. The model utilizes the gas adsorption isotherm and equates the free energy change upon adsorption to the potential energy of interaction of the gas molecules with the zeolite cavity. The results obtained for the cavity radius using Ar, Kr, and Xe adsorption isotherms are in excellent agreement with those of the cavity radius for 5A, 13X, and Y zeolites obtained from crystallographic data. Also, the average potential energies of interaction of these gases with the surface atoms of the zeolite cavities, calculated from the isotherms and the spherical pore model, compare reasonably well with the internal energies determined from the experimental heats of adsorption.

    Notes: Supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) for the removal of organic toxins from water has been studied using a continuous-flow view cell system. Distribution coefficients (ratio of mole fraction of contaminant in supercritical CO2 to mole fraction in the aqueous phase at equilibrium) have been determined for a homologous series of contaminants as individual components in pure water: benzene, phenol, p-chlorophenol, and m-cresol. Data were obtained at two temperatures (313 and 323 K) and over a pressure range of 9.65 to 17.23 MPa for each contaminant. The distribution coefficients of the contaminants follow a pattern that can be explained in terms of molecular interactions both with water in the aqueous phase (as quantified by the pure contaminant solubility in water) and with CO2 in the SCF phase (as quantified by the pure contaminant solubility in near-critical CO2 and crossover phenomena in SCF CO2). These results have been accurately modeled using a hardsphere, perturbation-theory-based Carnahan-Starling-DeSantis-Redlich-Kwong equation of state and simple van der Waals mixing rules.

    Notes: Formation of titania particles by vapor-phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride was studied in an aerosol reactor between 1,200 and 1,723 K. The effect of process variables (reactor residence time, temperature, and reactant concentration) on powder size and phase characteristic was investigated using the differential mobility particle sizer, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Titania particles were primarily anatase though the rutile weight fraction increased with increasing reactor temperature. The geometric number average diameter of the particles was between 0.13 and 0.35 μm, and the geometric standard deviation of the particle size distribution was about 1.4. The average particle size increased with increasing temperature, inlet TiCl4 concentration, and residence time. The observed changes in the particle size distribution were compared with those predicted by solving the aerosol dynamic equation by a sectional method and accounting for coagulation and first-order chemical reaction. While variations in the process variables resulted in discernible changes in the size of the particles, the spread of the distribution remained rather unaffected.

    Notes: Random pore models have been successful in interpreting a wide range of experimental observations in gas-solid reactions; however, their applicability has been limited to cases where the entire porous structure is initially accessible to reacting gases. In many practical cases, porous solids contain significant void regions that are initially inaccessible to gaseous reactants, but become accessible in the course of the reaction. A conceptual and mathematical model is developed here that accounts for the existence of this hidden porosity. It uses the same representation of the porous network as was developed in the earlier random pore models, but introduces physically meaningful expressions for the discovery of hidden pores, and the subsequent growth of the discovered pores. The modified model calls for only one additional parameter, the initial volume fraction of hidden porosity in the total volume. It is demonstrated computationally that neglecting hidden porosity can lead to serious underestimations of conversion and reaction rates.

    Notes: Longitudinal solids mixing was studied experimentally in circulating fluidized bed risers of internal diameter 0.152 m and 0.305 m. Superficial gas velocity and mean solids flux used were 2.8-5.0 m/s and 5.0-80 kg/m2·s, respectively, and the bed solids had a surface volume mean diameter of 71 μm and a particle density of 2,456 kg/m3. A sodium chloride tracer was used in impulse injection experiments. A simple, one-dimensional dispersion model describes measured solids mixing satisfactorily. Peclet numbers (UoL/Dz) found, in the range 1.0-9.0, were correlated with the riser diameter and mean solids flux. The modeling approach described here permits residence time distribution curves to be calculated directly from the knowledge of superficial gas velocity, mean solids flux, and riser diameter. Longitudinal solids mixing in the riser decreased with increasing riser diameter. The results are consistent with recent hydrodynamic studies.
