Abstract:
The present invention is capable of precisely controlling a supply ratio of liquid and continuously supplying liquid at a constant rate by using partition plates for controlling the amount of liquid distribution.
Abstract:
A device for distributing a fluid in a controlled manner, in particular for distributing a gas loaded with particles, the device comprising a pipe (1) provided with at least one inlet orifice (2) and with a series of outlet orifices (3) spread along the pipe (1) and cut in a side wall of this pipe, wherein at least one section (4) of the side wall, located downstream of at least one outlet orifice and limited by a section (5) of the edge of the outlet orifice (3), has a concave shape such that this section (5) of the edge of such outlet orifice (3) is positioned inside the pipe so that, when the device is in service, the flow direction of a fluid exiting such outlet orifice (3) and travelling along such deformed concave wall section (4) of the edge of this outlet orifice (3) is controlled by the shape of such section (5) of the edge.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for performing chemical processes, where raw materials are heated, wherein a melt pool is produced in a tank or reactor using low-melting metals or metal alloys, wherein the raw materials are metered directly into the melt pool in the lower part of the tank or reactor.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for on-site, continuous generation of peracid chemistry, namely peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions, are disclosed. In particular, an adjustable biocide formulator or generator system is designed for on-site generation of peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions from sugar esters. Methods of using the in situ generated peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a component (4) of a biosensor, comprising at least one first device (6) for receiving a sample liquid, wherein the device (6) is connected via a distributor channel (7) to further receiving devices (8 to 11), into each of which a feed channel (71, 72, 73, 74) branching off from the distributor channel (7) opens, and the feed channels (71, 72, 73, 74) are arranged in succession in flow direction (S) of the sample liquid passed on through the distributor channel (7). In accordance with the invention, it is envisaged that, in the distributor channel (7), in each case between two immediately successive feed channels (71, 72; 72, 73; 73, 74) in flow direction (S), at least one region (K) for at least temporary slowing or stoppage of the capillary flow of the sample liquid has been inserted. It is thus possible to control the capillary flow of the sample liquid such that always only one receiving device (8, 9, 10, 11) is filled with the volume flow of sample liquid available before the next is filled, and effectively simultaneous filling of the receiving devices (8, 9, 10, 11) is prevented. This leads to rapid and complete filling of the respective receiving device (8, 9, 10, 11). Additionally presented is a process with which the regions (K) can be inserted into the distributor channel (7) in a simple manner.
Abstract:
Damage of a lining-member is prevented through mitigation of stress concentration due to difference in thermal expansion. A lining-structure of a lining-member is provided on a base material of an insertion tube for adding a chemical to a reaction vessel for leaching under high temperature and high pressure. The base material has tube and flange sections. The lining-member is provided on the base material and formed of different material from the base material, and has a tube-lining section provided on the tube and flange lining sections provided on the flange-section. A chamfer-section is formed on the flange-section. The tube-lining section is protruded to the same height as a flat surface of the flange lining section. The flange lining-section has a curved surface-section protruded toward the base material side on the chamfer-section and is welded to a protruding-section of the tube-lining section that protrudes from a slant surface of the chamfer-section.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to reactor components and their use, e.g., in regenerative reactors. A process and apparatus for utilizing different wetted areas along the flow path of a fluid in a pyrolysis reactor, e.g., a thermally regenerating reactor, such as a regenerative, reverse-flow reactor, is described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus of the loop Venturi reactor type for the continuous reaction of liquids with gases, in particular for hydrogenations, oxidations or acetylations, e.g. for the preparation of toluenediamine by hydrogenation of dinitrotoluene, and a process for the continuous reaction of liquid reactants with gaseous reactants in the apparatus. In the apparatus of the invention, the diversion of an internal circulatory flow in the reactor is effected by means of a diversion pan which is arranged underneath a heat exchanger.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to integrated injector/igniters providing efficient injection, ignition, and complete combustion of various types of fuels. One example of such an injectors/igniter can include a body having a base portion opposite a nozzle portion. The base portion receives the fuel into the body and the nozzle portion can be positioned adjacent to the combustion chamber. The injector further includes a valve carried by the nozzle portion that is movable between a closed position and an open position to inject the fuel into the combustion chamber. An actuator is coupled the valve and extends longitudinally through the body towards the base portion, and a driver is carried by the body and is movable between a first position and a second position. Thermochemical regeneration of waste heat produced by combustion and associated combustion events is captured and invested in endothermic reactions to improve efficiency of the combustion event. Hydrogen characterized fuel may be used as a heat sink.
