Effect of different clay concentrations on crude oil combustion kinetics by thermogravimetry

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of different clay composition and concentrations on the thermal behaviour and kinetics of heavy crude oil in limestone matrix by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In TG/DTG experiments, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone mixture known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) respectively. Addition of clay to porous matrix significantly affected the reaction regions. Significant reduction of activation energy due to addition of clay to crude oil indicates the catalytic effect of clay on crude oil combustion.

A mesoscale study of thermal expansion behaviors of epoxy resin and carbon fiber/epoxy unidirectional composites based on periodic temperature and displacement boundary conditions

The thermal expansion behaviors of neat epoxy resin and carbon fiber/epoxy unidirectional (UD) composites were experimentally and numerically studied in this paper. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal conductivity measurement were used to measure the thermo-mechanical properties of epoxy resin at different temperatures. The dilatometer was used to measure the thermal strains and linear CTEs of neat epoxy resin and UD composites. In addition, a mesoscale finite element model based on the periodic temperature and displacement boundary conditions was presented to analyze the thermal expansion behaviors of UD composites. The resin-voids representative volume element (RVE) was used to calculate the thermo-mechanical properties of several kinds of resin-voids mixed matrix. From the results it can be found that the glass transition temperature of epoxy resin, porosity and fiber orientation angle have significant effects on the thermal expansion behaviors of UD composites. The mesoscale finite element analyses (FEA) have obvious advantages than various existing analysis models by comparing their predictive results. The distributions of thermal displacement, thermal stress and thermal strain were extracted between the carbon fiber, resin-voids mixed matrix and their interface, and also between the front and back surfaces of the loading direction, to further investigate thermal expansion structure effects of UD composites. This paper revealed that the mesoscale FEA based on periodic temperature and displacement boundary conditions can be also used for thermal expansion researches of other complex structure composites.

Thermal Charging Optimization of a Wavy-Shaped Nano-Enhanced Thermal Storage Unit

A wavy shape was used to enhance the thermal heat transfer in a shell-tube latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit. The thermal storage unit was filled with CuO–coconut oil nano-enhanced phase change material (NePCM). The enthalpy-porosity approach was employed to model the phase change heat transfer in the presence of natural convection effects in the molten NePCM. The finite element method was applied to integrate the governing equations for fluid motion and phase change heat transfer. The impact of wave amplitude and wave number of the heated tube, as well as the volume concertation of nanoparticles on the full-charging time of the LHTES unit, was addressed. The Taguchi optimization method was used to find an optimum design of the LHTES unit. The results showed that an increase in the volume fraction of nanoparticles reduces the charging time. Moreover, the waviness of the tube resists the natural convection flow circulation in the phase change domain and could increase the charging time.     

Characterization of deformation in injection molded parts after packing and cooling

Residual stresses which are developed in injection molded parts affect dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the final products. To predict the residual stresses in injection molded parts, three stages of injection molding, i. e., filling, packing, and cooling, must be taken into consideration for the thermal and flow analyses. Flow field anaysis for filling and postfilling stages has been carried out by using the control volume based FEM/FDM hybrid method. The generalized Hele-Shaw flow is assumed. Compressibility of the Polymer melt is considered during packing and cooling stages. Modified Cross model is employed to reflect the dependency of the viscosity upon shear rate and temperature. An equation of state proposed by Tait offers an efficient means to describe pvt-relationship of the polymer. Variations in temperature and pressure fields are obtained over all stages by the numerical flow analysis and used as input data for the stress analysis of the part. Plane stress elements, such as shell elements, are used for finite element stress analysis of injection molded parts with appropriate boundary conditions both in the mold and after ejected from the mold. The numerical analysis yields useful information which is relevant to the mechanical properties of the final products, e. g., residual stress distribution, shape of deformation, displacement field, and strain distribution.     

Research of critical ambient temperature of cylindrical fireworks and crackers

To study the influence of temperature on cylindrical fireworks and crackers in production and storage, this article establishes a physical and mathematical model of thermal explosion critical ambient temperature of finite cylindrical fireworks with shell based on two-dimensional steady state thermal explosion theory. The numerical program is written by difference method and Newton-homotopy method. The partial differential equations of thermal explosion model are calculated in Matlab. Comparison of numerical solutions and classical solutions proves the accuracy of model. The influence of Biot number of each surface and length diameter ratio on critical ambient temperature is analyzed. It is founded that the scope of length diameter ratio is $ 0.08 < H < 4.3 $ when Biot number tends to infinite. The thermal safety temperature of the fireworks without inner barrel when it is stored individually is obtained. This provides theoretical support for the safety of fireworks and crackers in production, storage transportation, and setting off process.

New view on the oxidation mechanisms of crude oil through combined thermal analysis methods

In the previous study, the oxidation behavior of four Chinese crude oils (Oil 1 to 4) in the presence and absence of rock cuttings was investigated by thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) techniques and oxidation tube experiments. The present work investigates the thermal behavior of these oils by combining DTG–DTA method. First, we conducted comparative analysis about mass loss rate from DTG curves and endothermic/exothermic phenomenon from DTA curves attempting to clarify the endothermic or exothermic mechanism in crude oil low-temperature oxidation. Finally, we combined the thermal analysis method with low-temperature oil oxidation tube experiment in porous media to ascertain, whether the two methods are consistent in the aspect of low-temperature oxidation mechanism of crude oil by O₂ consumption rate and CO₂ generating rate (carbon bond stripping reaction rate). Results show that crude oils undergo an endothermic oxidation behavior during low-temperature oxidation stage, suggesting the decomposition of hydrocarbon components. Clay can play a catalytic effect on low-temperature oil oxidation. The results of DTG–DTA tests can also better reflect oil oxidation mechanism under real conditions.

Numerical simulation and parametric analysis of latent heat thermal energy storage system

This paper presents the numerical analysis of the transient performance of the latent heat thermal energy storage unit established on finite difference method. The storage unit consists of a shell and tube arrangement with phase change material (PCM) filled in the shell space and the heat transfer fluid (HTF) flowing in the inner tube. The heat exchange between the HTF, wall and PCM has been investigated by developing a 2-D fully implicit numerical model for the storage module and solving the complete module as a conjugate problem using enthalpy transforming method. A comparative investigation of the total melting time of the PCM has been performed based on natural convection in liquid PCM during the charging process. The novelty of this paper lies in the fact it includes convection in PCM and this investigation includes a detailed parametric study which can be used as a reference to design latent heat storage. The results indicate that natural convection accelerates the melting process by a significant amount of time. In order to optimize the design of the thermal storage unit, parametric study has been accompanied to analyze the influence of various HTF working conditions and geometric dimensions on the total melting time of the PCM. Another important feature considered in this work is the influence of the inner wall of the tube carrying the HTF on the entire melting time of the PCM. An error of around 7.2% is reported when inner wall of the tube is ignored in the analysis.

Counter-current chromatography for oil analysis: Retention features and kinetic effects

Application of counter-current chromatography (CCC) for oil analysis has been suggested for the first time. CCC looks very promising as a tool for pre-concentration and isolation of trace elements from oil. Features of stationary phase retention of two-phase liquid systems (oil or oil products–aqueous nitric acid solutions) in CCC have been investigated. The influence of physicochemical properties of crude oil and oil products used as a mobile phase on the volume of stationary phase (acidic aqueous solutions) retained in CCC was studied. Chromatographic behavior of several oil samples was studied. It has been shown that physicochemical properties of test oil influence its chromatographic behavior. Optimal values of density and viscosity (ρ < 0.85 g/cm³, n < 7 cSt) of crude oil and oil products that could be analyzed using CCC were estimated. The influence of the column rotational speed and flow rate of mobile phase on the stationary phase retention was also investigated. It is known that kinetic aspects (mass transfer of elements between phases) can play a very important role in selecting an optimal composition of stationary phase for the pre-concentration of elements from oil. The influence of nitric acid concentration in the stationary phase on mass transfer was studied. Kinetic characteristic for trace element recovery has been investigated for the optimization of pre-concentration conditions of trace elements from crude oil and oil products. The extraction recoveries of Zn, Mn, Fe, Ni, V, Cu, Cd, Pb and Ba by CCC in dynamic mode are in the range of 75–95% while they are lower than 35% under batch conditions.
