Calculation of the Operation Parameters of the Catalytic Converters of the Harmful Gas Impurities

There are theoretically founded principles of catalytic converters designing of harmful gas emissions of various heat devices. Experimental investigations have shown that the smallest aerodynamic losses in the constructions of gas neutralizers are achieved at the using of profiled ceramic blades as working units - carriers of catalysts. To ensure intensive mixing of the flow inside the converter the input edges of the blades grids of the future stages should be located between the output edges of the blades of the grids of the preceding stages

PdO impact on the activity of hydrocarbon oxidation with oxide catalysts

The palladium component influence on the catalytic activity of a catalyst was investigated based on transition-metal oxides deposited on α-Al2O3 carrier in the process of hydrocarbon catalytic thermal destruction. It has been determined that the value of surface concentrations of PdO deposited on Co3O4 doesn’t effect on the achievable conversion degree when using the obtained catalytic converter. It is suggested that PdO facilitates the interfacial diffusion of atomic oxygen on the catalyst oxide component due to support it in an oxidized state. Adsorbed on palladium oxygen migrates on cobalt oxide in the composition of this catalyst. At the expense of this process oxygen passivation of Pd-Co3O4/γ-Al2O3 catalyst is overcome and its high reaction activity is ensured. Our research is evidence that Co3O4 performs the role of active centers on a corundum carrier in the reaction of catalytic thermal hydrocarbon oxidation. Additionally injected PdO into the catalyst composition promotes to the cobalt phase enrichment by oxygen

The Longitudinal Flow of Oil and Petroleum Products in the Channels and Pipes. Part II

A model associated fluid flow and heat transfer of longitudinal flows of oil in pipes and channels is considered. The model is an extended version of the Bingham flow on the case of flow with one or two solid cores. The fluid part is a two-phase medium, wherein the disperse phase may consist of solid particles, droplets and gas bubbles. The sliding on the borders of pipes and channels, thermal conductivity and viscosity of such systems and their impact on the characteristics of the solid core are discussed. The flow with a yield point dependence on the temperature is also considered

The longitudinal flow of oil and petroleum products in the channels and pipes

A model associated fluid flow and heat transfer of longitudinal flows of oil in pipes and channelsis considered. The model is based on the existence of a solid core or two such cores and fluid flow part. The flow is considered for the fluid part of Newtonian fluid, for power-law fluidsand for a Newtonian fluid in a turbulent regime. The amendments related to the nonlongitudinal to the flow equations of fluid dynamics and heat transfer, and their impact on core characteristics arediscussed

Electrodeposition of iron-molybdenum coatings from citrate electrolyte

Specifi c features of the electrodeposition of iron–molybdenum coatings from a citrate electrolyte based on iron(III) sulfate and sodium molybdate in dc and unipolar pulsed modes were studied. It was demonstrated that bright compact coatings with varied content of molybdenum can be produced by varying the relative concentrations of salts of the alloy-forming components and the solution pH. The current density ranges providing the high efficiency of the galvanostastic electrolysis were determined and it was shown that using the pulsed mode makes smaller the amount of nonmetallic impurities in a coating, diminishes its roughness and leads to formation of surface layers with a more uniform composition, The iron–molybdenum coatings exhibit a high corrosion resistance in corrosive media and physicomechanical properties improved as compared with the base metal, which makes it possible to recommend these coatings for protection from corrosive-mechanical disintegration and restoration of the surface of worn articles
