This can be accomplished by developing organic photoactive materials that can efficiently absorb visible light and thus minimize energy losses. While indoor OPVs have achieved efficiencies above 33% under low light intensities, the power output is limited by low open circuit voltages (<i>V</i><sub>OC</sub>), often well below 1 V. In this study, we present a series of visible-light absorbing (energy gap &gt;1.90 eV) non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) based on perylene diimide dimers, which have been systematically modified with side chains of varying polarity and steric bulk (trimethyl benzyl, ethyl adamantane, trialkoxyl phenyl, and oligo ethylene glycol). Our results show that the incorporation of sterically bulky side chains such as ethyl adamantane and trimethyl benzyl, blended with the common widegap polymer PTQ10, provides photoactive layers with absorption greater than 2.0 eV, and consequently, <i>V</i><sub>OC</sub>s higher than 1.2 V are achieved under AM 1.5 G illumination. Importantly, we found that the NFA with ethyl adamantane based side chains (tPDI<sub>2</sub>N-ethyl adamantane, compound 4) exhibited the best performance, with minimized energy loss. As a result, devices using PTQ10:tPDI<sub>2</sub>N-ethyl adamantane photoactive layers demonstrated excellent indoor efficiencies of over 16% and 18 μW cm<sup>−2</sup> power output under a 2700 K LED lamp at 300 lux, and showed better repeatability compared to other systems. The PTQ10:tPDI<sub>2</sub>N-ethyl adamantane based devices maintained a high <i>V</i><sub>OC</sub> (&gt;1.0 V) across a wide range of indoor lighting conditions, including 2700 K and 6500 K LED lamps.

On the other hand, consequence assessment models based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches are promising to cope with complex scenarios and environments, but setting the simulation introduces relevant uncertainties associated with both the input data, assumptions, and with the modelling of physical effects involved. In the present study, uncertainty quantification (UQ) techniques are applied to support advanced safety studies based on CFD simulations of hazardous gas dispersion. Firstly, the accidental scenarios are characterized by defining release scenarios and conditions and quantifying source terms using integral models. At the same time, input meteorological data are gathered. This enables the development of high-fidelity CFD simulations of gas dispersion based on different input sets and eventually the implementation of UQ techniques. The generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion is employed to obtain hazardous gas concentration based on the variation of wind direction and speed. The present method is applied for the analysis of a real plant featuring a complex layout.

A pharmaceutical case study is used to show the effectiveness of the proposed objective functions and bootstrapping methodology. Confidence regions from bootstrapping are similar to linearization-based confidence regions that do not account for truncation when truncated areas in normal prior distributions are relatively small.

Ester formation is dominated mainly by Fischer esterification and transesterification. Fischer reaction is generally used for ester production, but in certain cases, transesterification can be used with advantage. It is useful when the acid is less soluble in the alcohol or in the solvent used, thus forming two layers. Water formation creates purification problems during esterification reactions due to azeotrope formation and transesterification can be useful in such cases. Commercially, cheaply available methyl and ethyl esters can be conveniently used as raw materials for value added ester production by transesterification. Transesterification is also useful when the parent acids are highly reactive and pose difficulty in separation. Transesterifications are slow reactions and a catalyst is used: acids and bases, ion exchange resins, zeolites, and clays. Homogeneous catalysts were used in the past which are now replaced by their heterogeneous counterparts. Heterogeneous catalysts offer added advantages like reusability, lesser corrosion, and ease of separation. Transesterification can be commercially used to produce a number of esters of industrial importance like acrylics and biodiesel. This review considers all these aspects in considerable detail.

Due to the highly perishable nature of cashew apples, degradation is a significant issue. In response, the current work has established drying as an effective preservation technique for these bioactive components. The effect of drying temperature on bioactive compounds has been thoroughly investigated. The non-random two liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model effectively captures the thermodynamics of the drying process. To facilitate the selection and design of drying equipment, two mechanistic mass transfer models were developed. The first model employs the Maxwell-Stefan framework to account for internal diffusion, with external mass transfer resistance appearing as a boundary condition. While this model works well for products like grapes, it proved inadequate for explaining the drying behaviour of cashew apples. Consequently, a second model was developed, postulating rapid moisture transport by capillary action within the cashew apple. This model effectively captures the effects of a wide range of operating conditions, using only external mass transfer resistance as the tuneable kinetic parameter. This mechanistic model is more suitable for dryer design compared to conventional phenomenological models like the logarithmic model and the two-term exponential model.</p>","PeriodicalId":9400,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"102 11","pages":"3817-3831"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141650253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adjusting the mobility ratio of the injected fluid–oil system and increasing gas diffusion in the foam injection process increase oil production. With these properties, foam as an injection fluid in fractured reservoirs has a major effect on oil production from the matrixes and prevents premature production of injection fluid. Surfactants are common foaming agents in injection water. Saponins are known as plant-derived surfactants for forming stable foam. This feature, along with its cheap price and availability, can make them candidates for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by the foam injection method. However, the utilization of CO<sub>2</sub> as the gaseous phase in foam introduces additional machanisms of CO<sub>2</sub> injection to the oil recovery operations. In this assessment, a non-ionic green surfactant derived from the <i>Anabasis setifera</i> plant was used as a foaming agent, while CO<sub>2</sub> served as the gas phase. A series of surface tension tests in CO<sub>2</sub> environment were performed to determine the optimal concentration of the surfactant. Foaming tests were performed by a designed foam generator. The produced CO<sub>2</sub>-foam was then injected into a fractured carbonate plug with six matrixes (with one horizontal and two vertical fractures). Based on the results, the water–CO<sub>2</sub> surface tension was reduced to 20.549 mN/m. The optimum salinity based on the foam stability was 10,000 ppm. The half-life of the foam was determined to be 40 min. Also, the foam characterization showed that the foamability of the surfactant was favourable for increasing oil production so that by secondary flooding, an oil recovery of more than 66% was achieved from the fractured carbonate plug.</p>","PeriodicalId":9400,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"103 2","pages":"590-605"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjce.25401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141611835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
