This book puts forward the concept of the Diameter-Transformed Fluidized Bed (DTFB): a fluidized bed characterized by the coexistence of multiple flow regimes and reaction zones, achieved by transforming the bed into several sections of different diameters. It reviews fundamental aspects, including computational fluid dynamics simulations and industrial practices in connection with DTFB. In particular, it highlights an example concerning the development of maximizing iso-paraffins (MIP) reactors for regulating complex, fluid catalytic cracking reactions in petroleum refineries. The book is a must-have for understanding how academic and industrial researchers are now collaborating in order to develop novel catalytic processes. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction.- 2. Fundamentals of Reactor Design and Scale-Up.- 3. Cold Model Experiment and Reactor Modeling.- 4 Multiscale CFD Simulation for DTFB Scale-up.- 5. Engineering Aspects and Application of DTFB.- 6. Series of MIP Process.- 7. Effective Processing Technology of Heavy Oil.- 8. Applications in Chemical Industry and Other Fields.
Focusing on the intricate interplay between scientific explanation, laws of nature, and causation, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of these fundamental concepts in the philosophy of science. It seeks to create a holistic understanding that integrates these elements, addressing their significance and interconnections in advancing scientific inquiry.
Focusing on advanced control systems, this book presents innovative methodologies for designing and analyzing adaptive backstepping control systems. It addresses critical challenges such as actuator failures, subsystem interactions, and nonsmooth nonlinearities. Additionally, the text explores significant open issues in areas like adaptive failure accommodation, decentralized adaptive control, and distributed adaptive coordinated control, making it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field.
Focusing on eight key issues in the philosophy of science, this book offers a concise introduction that integrates Western thought with Chinese perspectives. It highlights the interplay between different philosophical traditions, enriching the understanding of scientific inquiry and its implications. By addressing these focal points, the work invites readers to explore the complexities and nuances of scientific philosophy from a broader cultural lens.
The book presents a comprehensive approach to understanding human information processing by integrating various research methods, including experiments, surveys, and neurophysiological techniques. It emphasizes the modeling of process models and rules, while also offering methodologies applicable to broader conceptual modeling research, utilizing notations such as UML and ER diagrams. This multifaceted perspective aims to yield more robust and insightful research findings in cognitive behavior studies.
The thesis explores the geological and petrological characteristics of Precambrian lithologies in the Western Liaoning-Northeastern Hebei Provinces, focusing on various rock types from late Neoarchean to late Paleoproterozoic eras, including metavolcanic rocks and alkaline plutons. It investigates the sources of magma and the genesis of magmatic episodes, while also establishing the evolution of the lithospheric mantle and crust-mantle interactions from approximately 2.6 to 1.2 billion years ago, offering significant insights into the region's crustal evolution and geodynamic processes.
This dissertation developed a complex finite element barge impact model to investigate the dynamic phenomena involved in real barge impact event, and proposed an efficient simplified impact model which can replicate the complex finite element barge impact model with sufficient prediction accuracy for a wide range of impact scenarios. This verified simplified impact model, which requires very low computational cost, is then applied to evaluate the energy-dissipation capacity of pile-supported independent protective structures which are widely used in bridge designs against barge impact. In addition, a novel crashworthy device made of steel beams arranged in a framed manner is devised and investigated using the simplified impact model. Finally, the simplified impact model is used for reliability analyses of RC bridge pier column subjected to barge impact considering the randomness of different design parameters.
This book contributes insights into second language (L2) students’ learning of academic genres in English for academic purposes (EAP) writing classes by its focus on the current EAP practice in the context of higher education of China. It presents knowledge construction of genre learning research in L2 writing and English for specific purposes (ESP) genre studies, and reports an in-depth qualitative inquiry into three issues of instruction-based genre learning in an academic writing class: students’ learning process of an academic genre in the community of an EAP writing class, students’ individual factors in the learning process, and genre knowledge development through engagement in genre-focused writing instruction. The book has theoretical implications for learning English for academic purposes as well as for learning English as a foreign language in general. It also has pedagogical implications for genre teaching in EAP at Chinese universities and similar educational contexts.
