The results showed that the liquid exhibited periodic motion characteristics, which can be divided into three periods within a single cycle: flattening, spreading-coalescing, and constrictive splitting. Force analysis revealed that the dominant forces of each period were the gas aerodynamic force, the gas aerodynamic force/viscous force, and surface tension. Notably, the magnitude of the combined force of period 1 was several times greater than that in period 2, and several tens of times larger than that in period 3. Furthermore, the gas–liquid flow patterns were classified as stratified entrained flow and stratified flow, with the decrease and gradual downward movement of the gas aerodynamic force being the cause of flow pattern evolution. Finally, a flow pattern map was proposed, summarizing the flow patterns in the oscillation tube under different operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":39,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142797340","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}

Here, we present crystalline cobalt hydrogen phosphite as a bifunctional electrocatalyst, facilitating both cathodic hydrogen production and anodic urea oxidation. Surface reconstruction is demonstrated, leading to the formation of oxyhydroxides, which act as active sites for electrocatalysis. Notably, achieving a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>–2</sup> requires ultralow potentials of −59 mV for the cathodic reaction and 1.302 V for the anodic reaction. Additionally, an overall cell voltage of 1.376 V is achieved to sustain the same current density in a two-electrode hybrid water electrolysis system, which is considerably lower than that required for traditional water splitting (1.577 V).

The process involves a convective reformer with bayonet-type tubes for syngas production and a multitubular methanol synthesis reactor. The integration of thermal energy is a core feature, ensuring the process is self-sufficient. Key aspects analyzed include the impact of methanol synthesis loop pressure (30–90 bar) on performance metrics such as carbon and energy efficiency and CAPEX/OPEX of the loop. An optimum operating pressure of 40 bar was found. Simulation results indicate high methane conversion in the reformer (87.34%) and effective internal heat recovery due to the bayonet-type tubes (19%).
