High temperature air/steam gasification of biomass in view of hydrogen rich gas production.
PublicationArtykuł przedstawia opis nowej i zaawansowanej metody konwersji termochemicznej biomasy i miejskich odpadów stałych w paliwo gazowe, bogate w wodór. W porównaniu z tradycyjnym procesem gazyfikacji, w metodzie tej wykorzystuje się powietrze/parę wodną przegrzane do wysokiej temperatury (powyżej 1300 st. C). Przegrzanie powietrza lub pary wodnej odbywa się z zastosowaniem ceramicznego przegrzewacza wysokotemperaturowego. W celu...

Hydrogen rich gas production from high temperature air/steam gasification of biomass
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono nowoczesną technikę konwersji biomasy oraz stałych odpadów komunalnych w celu produkcji paliwa gazowego bogatego w wodór. Opisany proces gazyfikacji przebiega w wysokiej temperaturze przy obniżonej koncentracji tlenu i udziale pary wodnej. Dzięki temu możliwa jest produkcja gazów palnych, w szczególności H2, który można wykorzystać do produkcji energii elektrycznej i cieplnej.

(Vapour and liquid) equilibrium in (N,N-dimethylacetamide+methanol+water) at the temperature 313.15 K.
PublicationPraca zawiera wyniki pomiarów całkowitej prężności pary dla tytułowego układu trójskładnikowego oraz dla ''składowych'' układów binarnych. Wyniki obliczeń nadmiarowej energii swobodnej mieszania dla układów (N,N-dimetyloaceta-mid+woda) i (N,N-dimetyloacetamid+metanol) porównane zostały z rezultatami uzyskanymi wcześniej dla innych układów (amid+metanol) oraz (amid+woda). Znaleziono interesującą zależność wartości nadmiaru...

Circumferential temperature distribution during pool boiling of R 141b onhorizontal modified tubes.
PublicationZaproponowano własną bierną, metodę intensyfikacji przejmowania ciepła w obszarze górnej tworzącej rurki w celu zminimalizowania obwodowego rozkładu temperatury. Metoda polega na naniesieniu aluminiowej warstwy porowatej tylko na części powierzchni rurki - właśnie w obszarze górnej tworzącej.

Numerical Investigation of Nuclear Reactor Kinetic and Heat Transfer Fractional Model with Temperature Feedback
PublicationAbstract—In the paper, the numerical results concerning the kinetics and proposed heat exchange models in nuclear reactor based on fractional calculus are presented for typical inputs. Two fractional models are proposed and compared with the model based on ordinary derivative. The first fractional model is based on one of the generalized Cattaneo equations. The second one is based on replacing the ordinary to fractional order of...

(Vapour + liquid) equilibrium in (n,n-dimethylacetamide + ethanol + water) at the temperature 313.15 K
PublicationW pracy prezentowane są pomiary całkowitej prężności pary dla tytułowego układu trójskładnikowego oraz dla składowych układów binarnych. Uzyskane w pracy wyniki porównane zostały z wcześniejszymi danymi dla podobnych układów. Znaleziono w przybliżeniu liniową zależność pomiędzy wartościami nadmiarowej entalpii swobodnej Gibbsa a objętością molową amidu, spełnianą w układach dwuskładnikowych: amid + alkohol alifatyczny.
