Efficient solar steam generation and concurrent salt harvesting from saline water were achieved with both continuous operation long-term stability.
Although two-dimensional (2D) materials have grown into an extended family that accommodates hundreds of members and demonstrated promising advantages in many fields, their practical applications are still hindered by the lack scalable high-yield production monolayer products. Here, we show nanosheets can be achieved a facile ball-milling exfoliation method with assistance viscous polyethyleneimine (PEI) liquid. As demonstration, graphite is effectively exfoliated graphene nanosheets,...
Abstract A combined approach of discrete particle simulation and computational fluid dynamics is used to study the heat transfer in a fluidized bed with horizontal tube. The first validated through good agreement between predicted distribution magnitude local coefficient those measured. Then, effects inlet superficial velocity, tube temperature main properties such as thermal conductivity Young's modulus are investigated explained mechanistically. relative importance various mechanisms...
A self-rotating solar evaporator is developed to overcome the challenge of salt accumulation during continuous desalination.
Heat transfer characteristics of different powders in gas fluidization are investigated by means a combined approach discrete element method and computational fluid dynamics. First, the heat three flow regimes group A examined. Then, effects Hamaker constant particle size, both related to van der Waals force, detail. The results confirm that convective is dominant, radiative becomes important when bed temperature high. However, conductive also plays role depending on material properties....
COREX is a promising alternative to blast furnace ironmaking. It includes two main reactors: reduction shaft (RS) for the direct of iron ore and melter gasifier melting directly reduced iron. This work uses two-dimensional slot model investigate gas-solid flow in RS by combined computational fluid dynamics discrete element method approach. The three-dimensional cohesive solids then examined three designs method. effects gas flow, stickiness between particles, rotational speed screws,...
Corex has a great potential to produce hot metal economically and environmentally friendly. Reduction shaft (RS) for the direct reduction of iron ore is one two major reactors in Corex. This work uses two‐dimensional slot model investigate thermal behavior gas–solid flow RS by combined computational fluid dynamics discrete element method approach.The general heat transfer characteristics are firstly examined. The complicated transient phenomena demonstrated process. Then, effects discharge...
Intensive heat and mass transfer between continuum fluids discrete particulate materials occur in the current working‐horse blast furnace (BF) ironmaking process. To optimize operation, its energy efficiency sustainability, particle models are very helpful when they incorporated with flow, transfer, chemical reaction models. Herein, a transient element method‐based virtual BF model is developed through scaling. The scaled simulates process significantly faster makes it practical to track...
Because of the introduction a cylindrical swirling chamber into neotype tundish, Swirling Flow Tundish (SFT), numerical simulation becomes difficult for this kind tundish by standard two-equation k-ε turbulence model. So another model, Renormalization Group (RNG) model derived from theory renormalization group, was adopted and compared with one. Both these two kinds models were used to simulate flow patterns in SFT on staggered grid systems based Finite Volume Method (FVM) SIMPLER algorithm...
