The classical separation of variables becomes inapplicable to battery problems because of nonlinearities in reaction rates and constraints of imposed current. A linear operator-theoretic approach to the diffusive part converts the battery equations into an integral equation and can be efficiently solved by successive approximations. The current density condition is transformed into a restriction and applied to a battery with two porous electrodes and separator. The use of the standard inner product for solution assuming diffusion to be slow in only one electrode introduces nonselfadjointness which is cured by a modification [1]. Example of the lithium battery demonstrates the power of the method to incorporate nonlinear kinetics. This approach is a generic methodology that, combined with computation, will solve a complex variety of problems in battery dynamics in diffusion-reaction controlled regimes.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TCD designs that do not consider vapor transport can underestimate costs, making section rearrangement crucial to find more operable configurations. This study proposes an algorithm to generate a separation matrix of basic configurations, enumerating their thermodynamically equivalent configurations using a coding method and filtering the operable configurations. Acyclic simulation and proposed section pressure distribution strategies enable optimization without altering the flowsheet. The TCD system was optimized for total annualized cost using self-adaptive spherical search. Case studies reveal that TCD saves up to 49% in heating duty compared to that of conventional sequences; however, utility costs increase by 12–133%. This study demonstrates that the flexibility of operating at different design pressures outweighs the potential savings of TCD; however, this can be compensated for by the reduced capital costs of the dividing-wall column.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143661151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates how different thermal treatment conditions affect titanium speciation in TS-1. A variety of characterization techniques were employed to identify changes in the titanium speciation, while propylene hydro-oxidation served as a probe reaction to assess the impact of these changes on the synergistic interaction between TS-1 and Au nanoparticles. Our findings reveal that conventional thermal calcination induces a transformation of some titanium species from tetrahedral coordination Ti<sup>4+</sup> to extra-framework anatase TiO<sub>2</sub>. In contrast, thermal treatment under an inert nitrogen atmosphere at lower temperatures effectively mitigates this transformation, resulting in a reduced amount of extra-framework TiO<sub>2</sub>.

However, there is currently no universally accepted theoretical model to accurately describe its thermal conductivity. In this study, based on the thermal conductivity models for gaseous and liquid matters and kinetic theory, we propose a concise model to predict the thermal conductivity of supercritical fluids. This model effectively captures the thermal conductivity behavior of scCO<sub>2</sub>, yielding the average absolute relative deviation of approximately 13.7% compared to the experimental data. With higher temperature and pressure, the prediction deviation of the model will be lower. Comparison with the other fluid thermal conductivity models and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation demonstrates that our model outperforms in prediction accuracy.

This study demonstrates that cobalt disulfide (CoS<sub>2</sub>) exhibits an unprecedented yield of 80.1% during rearrangement–hydrodeoxygenation of furan alcohol to cyclopentenone. CoS<sub>2</sub> acts not only as the Lewis acid sites for the rearrangement step but also as adjustable H<sub>2</sub> activation sites for the CC hydrogenation of 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone intermediates, promoting the efficient synthesis of cyclopentenone. Furthermore, it exhibits, for the first time, a similar synthesis route toward 3-methyl cyclopentenone from 5-methyl furan alcohol and 2,5-dihydroxymethyl furan.

Here, we demonstrate using two-fluid model simulations that dividing the gas distributor into slices and oscillating gas flow with a phase offset between consecutive slices enables structured bubbling to form with a wider range of bubble sizes and lattice configurations. Local particle solidification below bubbles leads to the formation of these structures, as manifested in high particle pressures in simulations. Varying the number of slices and phase offset enables a number of configurations that mix particles faster than cases with conventional structured bubbling or unstructured bubbling with the same overall gas flow rate.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143627728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intermittent and stochastic character of renewable energy leads to frequent changes in the operating conditions of production systems. Conventional design that focuses on the economic performance leads to rigid operating conditions and narrow operating windows of the production systems, which make it difficult to adapt to frequent changes in production capacity. It is imperative to expand the operating window of the renewable methanol production systems (RMPS) to adapt to the frequent changes in production capacity. In this work, the flexible design and regulation strategies for the RMPS are proposed, which expand the operating windows of the production systems at a low capital investment by quantitatively analyzing the relationships between process parameters and operating constraints of key equipment. The results indicate that, compared to economically optimized production systems, the proposed design method broadens the operating window of the RMPS by 54.02% with only a 22.38% increase in investment cost. The operating window can further be expanded by 113.29% with the addition of small-scale equipment at the investment cost increasing by 117.02%. The effectiveness of the proposed method and strategies is analyzed and discussed through specific application scenarios. The proposed approach improves the flexibility of the RMPS, providing an analytical basis for the flexible design and operation of chemical production systems driven by renewable energy.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143599140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, it faces challenges, including safety concerns, prolonged charging duration, and capacity fade. A significant cause of these issues is the degradation reactions within the battery, which are influenced by conditions such as ambient temperature, charging rate, and voltage. In order to understand the performance of lithium‐ion batteries at different operating conditions, a reaction engineering‐based electrothermal battery model was developed. Design of experiments (DoE) methodology was employed to plan and analyze in silico experiments. This approach modeled battery degradation parameters based on operating conditions, enhancing the understanding of their impact on battery health and facilitating the identification of optimal operating parameters. Results showed that the model could generalize for different lithium‐ion battery systems, and the DoE approach provided insights into the performance of battery systems under various operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work examines gas holdup and bubble size distribution in a custom-designed 1.5-m high-electrolytic cell, mimicking an industrial press-filter design. Results reveal that gas holdup increases with cell height and current density due to cumulative gas production, while higher electrolyte flow velocity reduces holdup by accelerating bubble transport. The average electrolytic bubble size d<sub>43</sub> evolves significantly from ~100 μm near the bottom to ~300 μm at the top of the cell, driven by coalescence and influenced by electrolysis current. A one-dimensional drift-flux model identified cell height, current density, electrolyte circulation rate, and bubble size as critical determinants of gas holdup. Theoretical predictions demonstrate that increasing d<sub>43</sub> from 130 to 270 μm can halve gas holdup, highlighting bubble size regulation as a key strategy for reducing gas holdup to enhance electrolyzer performance.","PeriodicalId":120,"journal":{"name":"AIChE Journal","volume":"212 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143575479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
