An Osmotic Membrane Dehumidifier

Oct 17, 2011
Arthur S. Kesten
OSMOTIC MEMBRANE DEHUMIDIFIER It has long been known that relying on a vapor compression system to cool air down to the dew point in order to dehumidify is expensive to build and uses far too much energy to operate. The ability to dehumidify independently of cooling provides substantial advantage,...

Solar Thermal Power Plant Simulation

Can a Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tank BLEVE?

Oct 17, 2011
Subramanya Nayak
Abstract A BLEVE (boiling-liquid expanding-vapor explosion) occurs when a tank containing liquefied gas ruptures, resulting in the instantaneous release of the vapor, boiling liquid, missiles (tank fragments), and blast wave 1 . The most common type of the BLEVE is caused when the external wall of...

Oct 17, 2011
Richa Tungal
This study reports the synthesis of novel bifunctional catalytic material and its utilization in catalytic aqueous phase reforming of biomass to enhance selectivity and conversion into hydrogen and higher hydrocarbons. The synthesis involved the preparation of mesoporous aluminosilicate catalyst by...

Solar Grade Silicon Production In Fluidized Bed Reactor

Oct 17, 2011
Juan Du
In this work, we present a multi-scale modeling approach for solar grade silicon production in fluidized bed reactor (FBR) by thermal decomposition of silane. The FBR process has been commercialized by several companies and promises to deliver poly-silicon at reasonable and stable price. Silane...

Modeling and Scale up of CO2-Water Pretreatment of Guayule Biomass

Oct 17, 2011
Ehsan Moharreri
A carbon dioxide – water pretreatment process was developed for guayule biomass. The guayule biomass was mixed with water and then loaded to a reactor where it was exposed to a biphasic environment consisting of CO2 rich vapor phase and water rich liquid phase. Then, the biomass was enzymatically...
