Experimentation plans were applied within the range of induced power (100–300 watts) and various vapor/gas throughputs. The produced gases were analyzed through online gas chromatography. The results of water vapor plasmolysis in two schemes demonstrated the production of 1337 ppm of hydrogen from water vapor/argon and 1665 ppm from applying a water vapor/argon/CO<sub>2</sub> combination. Valuable hydrocarbon gases (e.g., Ethane, Ethylene/Acetylene) were generated and detected at higher conversions upon introducing H<sub>2</sub>O vapor, argon, and CO<sub>2</sub> mixtures. The experimental data were trained through machine learning and a Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model has fitted the data quite well.

{"title":"Technoeconomic assessment of distillation heat transfer intensification using aeroelastically fluttering reeds","authors":"Miriam Blaine, Matthew J. Realff","doi":"10.1002/amp2.10153","DOIUrl":"10.1002/amp2.10153","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Dry cooling, where forced air is the heat transfer medium, is a preferable cooling method in arid locations lacking readily available process water. However, such locations often experience high ambient temperatures that limit the effectiveness of air cooling. The objective of this study is to quantify the economic and energetic benefits of heat transfer intensification via the implementation of aeroelastically fluttering reeds to the air-cooled condenser of a methanol distillation column. Condenser size and performance, regarding recovered methanol and required fan power, is evaluated across condenser operating temperatures (<i>T</i><sub>cond</sub>) from 60 to 62°C and heat transfer coefficients (<i>U</i>) <i>U</i><sub>base</sub>–2<i>U</i><sub>base</sub> for a range of inlet air temperatures based on ambient temperature data from Yuma, Arizona. Under typical design sizing, condenser capital cost was reduced by 6%–35% (1.3<i>U</i><sub>base</sub>–2<i>U</i><sub>base</sub>) and nominal methanol recovery was increased from 0.26% to 0.38% (<i>T</i><sub>cond</sub> = 62–60°C). At optimized condenser size, all enhanced <i>U</i> and <i>T</i><sub>cond</sub> pairs increase methanol recovery and reduce fan power costs compared to the optimal <i>U</i><sub>base</sub> reference. Overall, using enhanced heat transfer to maintain condenser temperature under a wider range of inlet conditions, rather than to reduce operation temperature, produces more favorable performance. Methanol price is not a determining factor in which pairs are profitable. Analysis was repeated for a global warming scenario, revealing more valuable improvements under elevated temperatures. Energy savings from condenser improvement to a methanol production system are not significant with respect to an optimized conventional system. Unit economic and energetic incentives suggest implementation of fluttering reeds may be justified in other applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":87290,"journal":{"name":"Journal of advanced manufacturing and processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41624143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
