The temperature of the injected jet varies from supercritical to subcritical values (with respect to the n-heptane critical temperature) while the ambient environment is maintained at temperatures above the critical temperature of n-heptane. Three types of jets are observed and described: (1) subcritical, where the liquid/gas interface persists until complete evaporation of the liquid phase (2) supercritical, where there is no sharp interface between the injected jet and the ambient gas, and (3) transcritical, where distinct liquid/gas phase interface exists at injection but disappears before complete evaporation of the liquid. The subcritical and transcritical jets exhibit Rayleigh-Plateau instability where the jet breaks up into droplets. For subcritical jets, the droplets maintain their sharp interface whereas for the transcritical case the droplets transition from evaporative mixing to diffusive mixing with the surrounding fluid. The experiments are conducted under microgravity conditions at the Zero-Gravity Facility at NASA Glenn Research Center to minimize effects of buoyancy. To interpret these observations, the evolution of a transitioning droplet is modeled with a Regularized Interface Method that can describe both subcritical and supercritical processes as well as transcritical dynamics. Model predictions of critical transition are compared with experimental results and show good agreement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17078,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supercritical Fluids","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 106549"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143454911","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}

Extractions from native and pretreated microalgae were performed using scCO<sub>2</sub> at 40 MPa and 40 °C, without or with ethanol as a co-solvent.

Specifically, extraction yield was improved up to 8.7-fold, separation of γ-linolenic acid increased from 7.3% to 35.6 %, chlorophyll A content increased from 12.1 to 272.1 mg/g extract, and tocopherol amount rose from 1.3 to 24.7 mg α-TE/g dry biomass. On the other hand, separations performed with co-solvent decreased the content of carotenoids from 100.2 to 35.6 mg/g as well as the antioxidant activity of extracts and their cytotoxicity on human hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, the addition of ethanol to scCO<sub>2</sub> had an adverse effect on the flavonoid content (which ranged from 45.8 to 82.4 mg RE/g) and the antimicrobial activity of extracts against 32 microbial strains.

A general explicit formulation of cross-association for different bonding types is presented. The non-bonded fraction of cross-associating molecules is obtained from the non-bonded fraction of self-associating molecules without cross-association.
