The scale-up of a microchannel reactor for Fischer−Tropsch (FT) synthesis has been demonstrated at multiple scales using four reactors with different lengths and number channels. An FT catalyst provided by Oxford Catalysts, Ltd. was tested in single channel microreactors bed length ranging from ∼4 to ∼62 cm. same also pilot 276 parallel process channels (∼17 cm length). Equivalent performance observed across each scale as determined the metrics CO conversion, selectivity byproduct, chain...
Abstract Climate‐related impacts to marine ecosystems threaten the biological, social, and economic resilience of U.S. fishing industry. Changes in ocean conditions variability fisheries productivity have stimulated an effort integrate climate information into science management processes inform more responsive decision‐making. However, institutional, capacity, budget constraints within federal state agencies may hinder potential deliver climate‐ready strategies for many fisheries. We...
A majority of fisheries worldwide lack effective management because poor quality data and limited resources. Data-limited stock assessments are increasingly used where model-based, data-rich approaches not possible. However, their widespread use is constrained by several important limitations, especially the inability to estimate biomass or maximum sustainable yield (MSY)-based reference points. Here we applied data-limited utilized expert opinion identify early warning signs depletion in...
Marine reserves are implemented to achieve a variety of objectives, but seldom rigorously evaluated determine whether those objectives met. In the rare cases when evaluations do take place, they typically focus on ecological indicators and ignore other relevant such as socioeconomics governance. And regardless diversity locations, monitoring protocols, analysis approaches hinder ability compare results across case studies. Moreover, evaluation is generally conducted by outside researchers,...
Abstract The conservation benefits of marine reserves are well established but their contribution to adjacent fisheries via spillover is less certain and context‐dependent. Theoretical predictions do not always match empirical evidence from individual reserves, so carefully designed studies essential for accurately assessing its fisheries. Biomass buildup within reserve borders, also usually takes time develop. In 2003, a network no‐take was in the Northern Channel Islands (NCI) southern...
Winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) once supported robust commercial and recreational fisheries in the New York (USA) region, but since 1990s populations have been decline. Available data show that settlement of young-of-the-year winter has not declined as sharply adult abundance, suggesting juveniles are experiencing higher mortality following settlement. The recent increase blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) abundance region raises possibility new sources predation may be...
Lionfish ( Pterois volitans/miles ) are an invasive species in the Western Atlantic and Caribbean. Improving management of lionfish populations requires accurate total biomass estimates, which depend on estimates allometric growth; sedentary like often exhibit high levels spatial variation life history characteristics. We reviewed 17 published length-weight relationships for taken throughout their range found regional differences that led to significant misestimates when calculating weight...
Abstract Effects of elongation on the radiation heat transport down a spheroidal cavity, located in conducting solid with diffusely reflecting cavity–solid interface, are examined. An effective conductivity λ e and void r obtained as function cavity eccentricity α; surface emissivity ε. To facilitate calculations produce readily applicable equations, rigorous variational principle is used. Exact solutions generated neighborhood spherical (α 2 → 0) for any ε > 0, long needle‐shaped 1)...
Abstract The yet to be developed Liberty field was discovered in the 1980s, and then confirmed with No. 1 well 1997 by BP Exploration Alaska, Inc. (BPXA). reservoir lies within Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) approximately 20′ of water, Foggy Island Bay, about 20 miles ESE Prudhoe Bay field. is estimated contain between 80 140 MMBO reserves. In 2014, Hilcorp LLC (Hilcorp) purchased 50% ownership assumed operatorship from BPXA, submitted Development Production Plan (DPP) Bureau Ocean Energy...
Slug or plug flow is generally considered as major pattern in microchannels gas-liquid two-phase flow. A new microchannel design has enabled experimental interfacial surface area density exceeding 10,000 m2/m3 based on the volume bubbly flow, and mass transfer coefficients 10sec−1. Numerical simulations well experiments are presented with design. The velocity components of secondary induced by specially designed angled microgrooves break gas phase into small bubbles, where otherwise much...
Abstract Thermal radiation heat transport within prolate and oblate ellipsoidal cavities was examined. The axisymmetric anisotropy of the cavity shape gives rise to a thermal conductivity tensor with principal axes components parallel (λ r , ‖ ) perpendicular ⊥ symmetry axis. transverse are calculated compared well‐known results from kinetic theory across cylindrical slit void geometries. use λ along earlier for in effective equations spheroidal inclusions solid matrix, provides means...
