  • To find a suitable metal component in oxygen carrier particles for chemical-looping hydrogen generation system(CLH), oxygen transfer capacities of metal components were compared and Ni has been selected as the best metal component. The proper operating conditions to achieve high hydrogen generation rate have been investigated based on the chemical-equilibrium composition analysis for water splitting reactor. Moreover, suitable compositions of syngas from gasifier of heavy residue to achieve high energy efficiency have been investigated by calculation of heat of reaction. Based on the selected operating conditions, the best configuration of two interconnected fluidized beds system for the chemical-looping hydrogen generator has been investigated as well.

  • Highly ordered mesoporous silver material was successfully synthesized from a mesoporous silica template (KIT-6) with 3-D channel structure using the nano-replication method. The effects of $H_2$ or $O_2$ pretreatments on the catalytic performance of the mesoporous silver were investigated using a temperature programmed CO oxidation technique in a fixed bed reactor. The mesoporous silver material that was pretreated with $H_2$ exhibited an excellent catalytic activity compared to the as-prepared and $O_2$-pretreated catalysts. Moreover, this present mesoporous silver material showed good catalytic stability. For the CO oxidation, the apparent activation energy of the $H_2$-pretreated mesoporous silver catalyst was $61{\pm}0.5\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$, which was also much lower than the as-prepared ($132{\pm}1.5\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$) and $O_2$-pretreated ($124{\pm}1.4\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$) catalysts.

  • A theoretical study of the hydration of the model compound of collagen, poly(Gly-Pro-Pro), has been carried out using empirical potential energy functions. The optimum locations and binding energies of water molecules bound to the model compound have been determined by minimizing the interaction energy. The stabilization energy due to the presence of water in the first hydration shell has been evaluated by comparing the internal interaction energies between the different groups of the model compound in its non-hydrated and hydrated states. The different energy components contributing to the overall stabilization are determined and discussed.

  • A method of describing the rovibrational energy transitions and coupled chemical reactions in the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) calculations is constructed for $H(^2S)+H_2(X^1{\Sigma}_g)$ and $He(^1S)+H_2(X^1{\Sigma}_g)$. First, the state-specific total cross sections for each rovibrational states are proposed to describe the state-resolved elastic collisions. The state-resolved method is constructed to describe the rotational-vibrational-translational (RVT) energy transitions and coupled chemical reactions by these state-specific total cross sections and the rovibrational state-to-state transition cross sections of bound-bound and bound-free transitions. The RVT energy transitions and coupled chemical reactions are calculated by the state-resolved method in various heat bath conditions without relying on a macroscopic properties and phenomenological models of the DSMC. In nonequilibrium heat bath calculations, the state-resolved method are validated with those of the master equation calculations and the existing shock-tube experimental data. In bound-free transitions, the parameters of the existing chemical reaction models of the DSMC are proposed through the calibrations in the thermochemical nonequilibrium conditions. When the bound-free transition component of the state-resolved method is replaced by the existing chemical reaction models, the same agreement can be obtained except total collision energy model.
