Subjects: subject: cost analysis; biomass terminal; forest fuel supply; terminal operations
subject: 1. Biomass resources: assessment and production

description: As forest fuel demand increases, new logistical solutions are needed. Most of the increase in use is expected to take place in large heat and power (CHP) production units which set special requirements for the supply as both procurement volumes and transport distances increase. Biomass fuel terminals broaden the spectrum of available supply options by offering cost-effective large-scale biomass storage and processing options for securing the fuel supply in all conditions. This study aimed to study different costs of a satellite terminal and to produce important concept and cost information for developing forest fuel logistics based on future terminals. The figures indicate that terminals do not create direct cost benefits per se: direct supply chains are more economical compared to supply through terminals. However, there are several indirect benefits that can be reached via fuel supply through terminals: regional fuel procurement can be widened to a national scale, security of supply increases through easily available storages, large supply volumes can be delivered by an individual operator, prices remain more stable and a more even quality of delivered fuel can be achieved.

description: Hydrothermal liquefaction is one of the technologies that can realize the reasonable, clean and efficient utilization of sewage sludge.Thus, the effects of homogeneous catalysts (Na2CO3, NaOH, K2CO3 and KOH) and heterogeneous catalysts (JT-201and JT-203) on the hydrothermal liquefaction characteristics of sewage sludge under CO atmosphere were investigated,mainly focused on the distribution and physic-chemical properties of liquefaction products.Besides, non-catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of sewage sludge was also investigated for comparison. The addition of catalysts can promote the hydrothermal liquefaction, and heterogeneous catalysts have a better catalytic effect than homogenous catalysts. The catalytic effect follow the order:  JT-203 >JT-201>Na2CO3> K2CO3 > NaOH > KOH.At the same time, catalysts can promote the consumption of COand generation of H2. YNHS was improved from 24.18% without catalyst to 30.46% (Na2CO3), while YLP achieved the highest 53.21% (JT-203). Catalysts can improve C content of NHS and TFS. The C element of n-hexane soluble (NHS) was improved from73.83 wt% without catalyst to 77.89 wt% (JT-203); O content of tetrahydrofuran soluble (TFS) dropped from 27.40 wt% without catalyst to 23.93 wt% (JT-203). GC-MS analysis for NHS and TFS show that nitrogenous compounds, alkanes and acidswere the main compounds of NHS. Tetrahydrofuran soluble contain nitrogenous compounds, esters, acids, phenols, ketones, alkanes and others. The main compounds of TFS are nitrogenous compounds (23.75-33.36%) and esters (20.83-47.02%).

description: Recently biomass upgrading technologies like torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization are investigated to make low quality biomasses and residues available for energetic use. Hydrothermal carbonization offers the conversion of wet, heterogeneous biomass to a homogenous biocoal with enhanced grinding and dewatering properties. In this work the utilization of biocoal in an entrained-flow gasifier is analyzed for subsequent heat and power generation in a gas engine. Basic simulation results of an air-blown gasification process in Aspen Plus® are presented and the development of a small scale autothermal entrained-flow gasifier is described. Large scale technologies like pneumatic dense-phase conveying were applied successfully in small scale with biocoals. Operational experiences and key findings are discussed. First trials were carried out using lignite as comparable fuel.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: This work is devoted to analyze the relation between the thermodynamic properties of a confined fluid and the shape of its confining vessel. Recently, new insights in this topic were found through the study of cluster integrals for inhomogeneous fluids, that revealed the dependence on the vessel shape of the low density behavior of the system. Here, the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of fluids confined in wedges or by edges is revisited, focusing on their cluster integrals. In particular, the well known hard sphere fluid, which was not studied in this framework so far, is analyzed under confinement and its thermodynamic properties are analytically studied up to order two in the density. Furthermore, the analysis is extended to the confinement produced by a corrugated wall. These results rely on the obtained analytic expression for the second cluster integral of the confined hard sphere system as a function of the opening dihedral angle $0

description: In light of the limited access to exhaustively instrumented engine infrastructure for investigating the feasibility of use of non-regular fuels, a well validated numerical simulation tool has been developed with full functionality to simulate the performance of a spark ignited engine. Special care has been taken to address some features particular to non-regular fuels. The key features of the model include ability to predict end gas auto-ignition, the Methane / Octane number of a fuel, and the turbocharger optimization module. Beyond the technical aspects, the other key feature is the availability of the non-commercial web version of the module. It is expected that the tool acts as the preliminary analysis kit to evaluate the feasibility of considering detailed investigation for any particular fuel.

description: This presentation was given at the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's 2023 Science Symposium, accessible through the web https://www.tern.org.au/science-symposium-2023/ on Day 2, session 5. The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (2021) states that increased openness leads to increased transparency and trust in scientific information. The key pillars of their argument are that open science knowledge can be achieved through open scientific publications, open research data, open-source software and source code, and open science infrastructures. From the very beginning of the research process, the researcher takes advantage of the open science practices of the research community by sourcing literature, and possibly even examining previous work openly accessible. Their own contribution to the open information world is fairly well established in the journal publication process (the importance of the citation of others’ work, for example, is well understood) but is less well established for data and software outputs. This paper describes an initiative of a multinational project funded by the Belmont Forum in which data scientists worked alongside researchers in a multi-disciplinary project to develop ways to enhance open science practices. We have done this in two ways, first by applying an interactive Data and Digital Object Management Plan, and second by devising a series of intuitive checklists to make open science practices easy. Diagnosing the pressures of ‘classical’ research work and the research environment, this series of checklists (translated in five languages) is aimed to assist the researcher and the research team to be pro-active in open science. They enable (a) the researcher to ensure the entirety of their work is discovered, and they gain credit for it, and (b) the team to work openly and collaboratively. We have harnessed existing infrastructure such as ORCID, collaborated with the World Data System, and have worked with DataCite to develop a tool that captures researchers’ data and code outputs. Effective application of open science practices enhances the researcher’s career, and smooths the management of a research project.

description: Various types of early Palaeogene calderas indicating transtensional (strike-slip fault-related extensional structure and extensional strike-slip duplex) and transpressional (contractional) structures have been identified in southern Sikhote-Alin (northeastern Asia). These volcanic structures formed due to the NNW-oriented (345–355°) stress during left-lateral displacements within a zone of dynamic interaction between the main tectonic units of the territory: the Central Sikhote-Alin and Vostochny Faults. These faults form a large-scale fault zone, where strike-slip displacements and magmatic activity propagated from boundary faults to the central area of the fault zone. The analysis of regional faulting morphology and kinematics within this fault zone and its vicinity shows that the NNE-trending strike-slip faults bend into NE-trending thrust zones on its southern and northern flanks. These changes reveal a regional S-shaped structure that we named the ‘sinistral kink band of southern Sikhote-Alin’. The activation of the subparallel NNE-trending sinistral faults in the central part of the kink band accounts for the increased permeability of the basement and terrigenous strata. The early Palaeogene magmatic activity should be regarded as a marker of left-lateral displacements from at least ~61–55 Ma due to oblique interactions between continental and oceanic plates along the northeastern Asian margin.

description: The small atmosphereless objects of our solar system, such as asteroids, the moon are covered by layer of dust particles known as regolith, formed by meteoritic impact. The light scattering studies of such dust layer by laboratory experiment and numerical simulation are two important tools to investigate their physical properties. In the present work, the light scattered from a layer of dust particles, containing 0.3μm Al2O3 at wavelength 632.8 nm is analysed. This work has been performed by using a light scattering instrument 'ellipsometer', at the Department of Physics, Assam Universiy, Silchar, India. Through this experiment, we generated in laboratory the photometric and polarimetric phase curves of light scattered from such a layer. In order to numerically simulate this data, we used Hapke's model combined with Mie's single particle scattering properties. The perpendicular and parallel components of single particle albedo and the phase function were derived from Mie theory. By using the Hapke's model combined with Mie theory, the physical properties of the dust grain such as grain size, optical constant (n,k) and wavelength can be studied through this scheme. In literature, till today no theoretical model to represent polarisation caused due to scattering from rough surface is available, which can successfully explain the scattering process. So the main objective of this work is to develop a model which can theoretically estimate polarisation as caused due to scattering from rough surface and also to validate our model with the laboratory data generated in the present work.

description: In this work, torrefied as well as hydrothermal carbonised biomass have been examined. To evaluate the torrefaction process, grindability, ash melting behaviour and fuel as well as ash composition of untreated and torrefied woods were analysed. For that purpose populus, alder, spruce and birch have been used. Significant differences in heating values and particle size distributions could be observed. For spruce and birch a mean increase in the heating value of 15 % has been observed. For poplar and alder the heating value slightly increased by 7-9 %. The increase in heating value can be mainly explained with the decrease in oxygen and hydrogen containing compounds. The median values of the ground fractions for the torrefied woody biomass were within the range from 80 to 95 µm, whereas the non-torrefied woody biomass showed median values ranging from 180 to 230 µm. Main components of the ash of all analysed wooden biomass are potassium oxide, silicon oxide and calcium oxide. Torrefied biomass shows a broader melting range and a more pronounced melting peak. Analysis of ash melting, ash characteristic numbers and FactSage simulations of the untreated and torrefied wood, show a lower melting range at lower melting temperatures reffering to the untreated biomass. The H/C and the O/C ratio of the HTC coals show similar results as lignite. Except for the hydrothermal carbonised green waste, the HTC-coals of spent grains and compost show a high melting range in the field of the torrefied woods.

description: Finding new best practices in wood pellet production is often a long and frustrating journey. Besides extensive testing and costly adjustments, time is a critical factor, since tests should not interfere with production plans. However, sometimes improvements approach fast. BVG AG Switzerland proved within months that it is possible to decrease lubricant consumption in pellet mills, and therefore reduce environmental impact, while increasing lifetime of components due to improved wear protection. The key to performance improvements is a solid lubricant based on ceramic.

Jet azimuthal angle correlations in the production of a Higgs boson pair plus two jets at hadron colliders

description: Azimuthal angle correlations of two jets in the process $pp\to HHjj$ are studied. The loop induced $\mathcal{O}(α_s^4 α_{}^2)$ gluon fusion (GF) sub-process and the $\mathcal{O}(α_{}^4)$ weak boson fusion (WBF) sub-process are considered. The GF sub-process exhibits strong correlations in the azimuthal angles $ϕ_{1,2}^{}$ of the two jets measured from the production plane of the Higgs boson pair and the difference between these two angles $ϕ_1^{}-ϕ_2^{}$, and a very small correlation in the sum of them $ϕ_1^{}+ϕ_2^{}$. The impact of using a finite top mass $m_t^{}$ value on the correlations is found crucial. The transverse momentum of the Higgs boson can be used to enhance or suppress the correlations. The impact of a non-standard value for the triple Higgs self-coupling on the correlations is found much smaller than that on other observables, such as the invariant mass of the two Higgs bosons. The peak shifts of the azimuthal angle distributions reflect the magnitude of parity violation in the $gg\to HH$ amplitude and the dependence of the distributions on parity violating phases is analytically clarified. The WBF sub-process also produces correlated distributions and it is found that they are not induced by the quantum effect of the intermediate weak bosons but mainly by a kinematic effect. This kinematic effect is a characteristic feature of the WBF sub-process and is not observed in the GF sub-process. It is found that the correlations are different in the GF and in the WBF sub-processes. As part of the process dependent information, they will be helpful in the analyses of both the GF sub-process and the WBF sub-process at the LHC.

description: The adoption of automotive natural gas engine for producer gas fuelled stationary power generation application is addressed and for a target power rating, producer gas fuelled engine performance is compared with natural gas (base fuel) performance. Adoption of the engine from natural gas fuelled automotive to producer gas fuelled stationary system required physical modifications and tuning of the load-throttle-ignition reference map on the electronic control unit which was based on in-cylinder analysis. Adoption of the engine for producer gas fuelled operation resulted in power de-rating of 33% with the 22.5 kWe natural gas rating reducing to 15 kWe. Comparative fuel consumption analysis at loads of 8/10 kWe, which are of interest, indicated specific fuel (biomass for producer gas operation) consumption of 1.51/1.28 kg/kWh for producer gas fuelled operation and 0.398/0.336 kg/kWh for natural gas fuelled operation. The corresponding energy consumption amount to 24.18/20.45 MJ/kg for producer gas and 17.91/15.12 for natural gas at the loads of 8/10 kWe respectively indicating superiority of natural gas fuelled operation over producer gas operation. Analyzing the energy balance, it is observed that the gas to electricity efficiency for natural gas fuelled operation is slightly inferior / on par with producer gas fuelled operation and is attributed to the enhanced part load operation for natural gas as compared to producer gas, adversely influencing the fuel conversion efficiency. Higher cooling load is observed for producer gas fuelled engine operation and is fundamentally attributed to higher thermal conductivity of producer gas due to the presence of hydrogen. On the emissions, the primarily pollutants of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and unburned hydrocarbons are all well within the prescribed limits for stationary power generating application though the carbon monoxide emissions for producer gas fuelled operation is slightly higher than that for natural gas fuelled operation. Addressing the in-cylinder response, it is observed that the producer gas fuelled operation indicates sluggish heat release, particularly towards the terminal phase of combustion and is attributed to the end mixture cooling due to higher thermal conductivity. Addressing the transient response of the engine, with a recovery time of under 7 seconds for producer gas as compared to 17 seconds for natural gas, superiority of producer gas fuelled operation for transient operation is established.

description: A smart grid based Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), is a technology that enables the utilities to monitor and control the electricity consumption through a set of various smart meters (SMs) connected via a two way communication infrastructure. One of the key challenges for smart grids is how to connect a large number of devices. On the other hand, 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE), the latest standard for mobile communications, was developed to provide stable service performance and higher data rates for a large number of mobile users. Therefore, LTE is considered a promising solution for wide area connectivity for SMs. In this paper, a grouped hierarchal architecture for SMs communications over LTE is introduced. Then, an efficient grouped scheduling technique is proposed for SMs transmissions over LTE. The proposed architecture efficiently solves the overload problem due to AMI traffic and guarantees a full monitoring and control for energy consumption. The results of our suggested solution showed that LTE can serve better for smart grids based AMI with particular grouping and scheduling scheme. In addition, the presented technique can able to be used in urban areas having high density of SMs.

description: Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is highly toxic and corrosive, thus biogas clean-up represents an important issue to be overcome in order to obtain valuable biomethane. A novel photobioreactor (PBR) design based on the anoxigenic photosynthesis process through H2S is converted to elemental sulphur (S0)by the action of Chlorobium limicola was tested. The system has been proven stable for long lasting experimental time. The total clean-up was reached providing artificial biogas mixture with high concentration of H2S. Molecular analysis was used to investigate whether the stability of the culture under non-sterile conditions. At the end of the experiment a strain belonging to Epsilonproteobacteriaceae was found in the culture that doesn’t affect the process. An aliquot of bacterial culture was collected and used as inoculum for a second configuration where the PBR has been installed downstream of an anaerobic digestion plant. Total clean-up was reached with some oscillation around 90%. The bacterial consortium remain stable during the experimental time.

description: The understanding of tribo- and electro-chemical phenomenons on the molecular level at a sliding interface is a field of growing interest. Fundamental chemical and physical insights of sliding surfaces are crucial for understanding wear at an interface, particularly for nano or micro scale devices operating at high sliding speeds. A complete investigation of the electrochemical effects on high sliding speed interfaces requires a precise monitoring of both the associated wear and surface chemical reactions at the interface. Here, we demonstrate that head-disk interface inside a commercial magnetic storage hard disk drive provides a unique system for such studies. The results obtained shows that the voltage assisted electrochemical wear lead to asymmetric wear on either side of sliding interface.

description: We have recently suggested that tiny black holes can act as nucleation seeds for the decay of the metastable Higgs vacuum. Previous results applied only to the nucleation of thin-wall bubbles, and covered a very small region of parameter space. This paper considers bubbles of arbitrary profile and reaches the same conclusion: black holes seed rapid vacuum decay. Seeded and unseeded nucleation rates are compared, and the gravitational back reaction of the bubbles is taken into account. The evolution of the bubble interior is described for the unseeded nucleation. Results are presented for the renormalisation group improved Standard Model Higgs potential, and a simple effective model representing new physics.

description: Nanowires of two-dimensional (2D) crystals of type-II superconductor NbSe$_2$ prepared by electron-beam lithography were studied, focusing on the effect of the motion of Abrikosov vortices. We present magnetoresistance measurements on these nanowires and show features related to vortex crossing, trapping, and pinning. The vortex crossing rate was found to vary non-monotonically with the applied field, which results in non-monotonic magnetoresistance variations in agreement with theoretical calculations in the London approximation. Above the lower critical field, $H_{c1}$, the crossing rate is also influenced by vortices trapped by sample boundaries or pinning centers, leading to sample-specific magnetoresistance patterns. We show that the local pinning potential can be modified by intentionally introducing surface adsorbates, making the magnetoresistance pattern a "magneto fingerprint" of the sample-specific configuration of vortex pinning centers in a 2D crystal superconducting nanowire.

This general class of nonlocal wave equations model bidirectional wave propagation in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium whose constitutive equation is given by a convolution integral. To justify the Camassa-Holm approximation we show that approximation errors remain small over a long time interval. To be more precise, we obtain error estimates in terms of two independent, small, positive parameters $ε$ and $δ$ measuring the effect of nonlinearity and dispersion, respectively. We further show that similar conclusions are also valid for the lower order approximations: the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony approximation and the Korteweg-de Vries approximation.

description: It is well known that a closed loop of magnetic dipoles can give rise to the rather elusive toroidal moment. However, artificial structures required to generate the necessary magnetic moments are typically optically large, complex to make and easily compromised by the kinetic inductance at high frequencies. Instead of using magnetic dipoles, we propose a minimal model based on just three aligned discrete electric dipoles in which the occurrence of resonant toroidal modes is guaranteed by symmetry. The advantage of this model is its simplicity and the same model supports toroidal moments from the microwave regime up to optical frequencies as exemplified by a three-antenna array and a system consisting of three nano-sized plasmonic particles. Both the microwave and high-frequency configurations exhibit non-radiating "anapoles". Experiments in the microwave regime confirm the theoretical predictions.

description: Particle-hole instabilities are studied within a two dimensional model of fermions interacting with antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations (spin-fermion model). In contrast to previous works, we assume that neighboring hot spots overlap due to a shallow dispersion of the electron spectrum in the antinodal region and include in the consideration effects of a remnant low energy and momentum Coulomb interaction. It turns out that this modification of the model drastically changes the behavior of the system. The leading particle-hole instability at not very weak fermion-fermion interaction is no longer a charge density wave with a modulation along the diagonals of the Brillouin zone predicted previously but a Pomeranchuk-type deformation of the Fermi surface breaking the C$_{4}$ symmetry of the system. This order does not prevent from further phase transitions at lower temperatures. We show that, depending on parameters of the interaction, either d-wave superconductivity or charge density wave with modulations along the bonds of the $CuO$ lattice is possible. The low momentum remnant Coulomb interaction enhances the d-form factor of the charge density wave. Comparison with experimental data allows us to conclude that in many cuprate compounds the conditions for the proposed scenario are indeed fulfilled. Our results may explain important features of the charge modulations observed recently.

First-order phase transitions in outbreaks of co-infectious diseases and the extended general epidemic process

description: In co-infections, positive feedback between multiple diseases can accelerate outbreaks. In a recent letter Chen, Ghanbarnejad, Cai, and Grassberger (CGCG) introduced a spatially homogeneous mean-field model system for such co-infections, and studied this system numerically with focus on the possible existence of discontinuous phase transitions. We show that their model coincides in mean-field theory with the homogenous limit of the extended general epidemic process (EGEP). Studying the latter analytically, we argue that the discontinuous transition observed by CGCG is basically a spinodal phase transition and not a first-order transition with phase-coexistence. We derive the conditions for this spinodal transition along with predictions for important quantities such as the magnitude of the discontinuity. We also shed light on a true first-order transition with phase-coexistence by discussing the EGEP with spatial inhomogeneities.

description: Ultrasensitive optical detection of nanometer-scaled particles is highly desirable for applications in early-stage diagnosis of human diseases, environmental monitoring, and homeland security, but remains extremely difficult due to ultralow polarizabilities of small-sized, low-index particles. Optical whispering-gallery-mode microcavities, which can enhance significantly the light-matter interaction, have emerged as promising platforms for label-free detection of nanoscale objects. Different from the conventional whispering-gallery-mode sensing relying on the reactive (i.e., dispersive) interaction, here we propose and demonstrate to detect single lossy nanoparticles using the dissipative interaction in a high-$Q$ toroidal microcavity. In the experiment, detection of single gold nanorods in an aqueous environment is realized by monitoring simultaneously the linewidth change and shift of the cavity mode. The experimental result falls within the theoretical prediction. Remarkably, the reactive and dissipative sensing methods are evaluated by setting the probe wavelength on and off the surface plasmon resonance to tune the absorption of nanorods, which demonstrates clearly the great potential of the dissipative sensing method to detect lossy nanoparticles. Future applications could also combine the dissipative and reactive sensing methods, which may provide better characterizations of nanoparticles.

description: The title character of E.L. Doctorow’s The Book of Daniel (1971) is a graduate student in political history at Columbia University in the late sixties; he is also the son of fictional versions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were tried together for treason in1951 and executed in 1953. The time present of the novel is 1967, when Daniel’s long effort to relieve himself of the burden of memory is morphing into an obsession with figuring out guilt and thus distributing blame, for his own victimization as much as that of his parents. This essay argues that Daniel’s “trouble breathing” is a function of the utter and unvanquishable co-determination of the public and the private, household and nation-state, the socialist dream of equity and the ethical obligations of Judaism; that the interpretive strategies of Marx and Freud deliver superb insight into the over-wrought, over-determined family dramas of McCarthy-era Anti-Semitism and Abbie Hoffman’s Radical New Left; but that epistemological insight, even if it is as effectively domestic as it is socio-political, doesn’t mean release from ontological suffocation, especially not for Daniel. Cultural critique, however informed in its modern secularity by Judaic origins, doesn’t address all the matter in his heart. And it is Daniel’s ultimate embrace of the fiercest dimension of Chosenness, his ancestral ethos of suffering, including his grandmother’s bequeathing of the martyr’s pursuit of justification, that paradoxically drains his anguish, his anger, and his viciousness—with the help, in the book’s final spiraling turn between public and private, ethnos and ethos, of we readers who bear witness to the history written in Daniel’s Book.

Loneliness, Grief and the (Un)Caring State

Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)

description: This essay analyzes Claudia Rankine’s Don’t Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric (2004) from the perspective of “ugly feelings” (Ngai 2005) such as disavowed mourning (Butler, 2004, xiv) or loneliness in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Following Butler’s contention of the hindered possibility for community in the recognition of US national vulnerability (2004), I will argue that Rankine’s work underscores the disparities in public recognition of grief and private care for Othered subjects’ pain. In particular, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely displays a series of physical and mental collective ailments in US citizens, such as medicalized depression, as Rankine attempts to bear witness to the institutionalized injustice and erasure of the violence exerted upon America’s precarious bodies, enacting a form of recognition, only if temporary, through the fragmented use of the narrative/lyric ‘I’.

description: Financial markets have been extensively studied as highly complex evolving systems. In this paper, we quantify financial price fluctuations through a coupled dynamical system composed of phase oscillators. We find a Financial Coherence and Incoherence (FCI) coexistence collective behavior emerges as the system evolves into the stable state, in which the stocks split into two groups: one is represented by coherent, phase-locked oscillators, the other is composed of incoherent, drifting oscillators. It is demonstrated that the size of the coherent stock groups fluctuates during the economic periods according to real-world financial instabilities or shocks. Further, we introduce the coherent characteristic matrix to characterize the involvement dynamics of stocks in the coherent groups. Clustering results on the matrix provides a novel manifestation of the correlations among stocks in the economic periods. Our analysis for components of the groups is consistent with the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) classification and can also figure out features for newly developed industries. These results can provide potentially implications on characterizing inner dynamical structure of financial markets and making optimal investment tragedies.
