the reaction kinetics of the isomerization 3,4-dichlorobutene-1 to 1,4-dichlorobutene-2 was investigated by using gas-liquid chromatography method in the presence of fe2o3/mgo as solid catalyst in the temperature range 25-55°c. fe2o3/mgo has been prepared by the support saturation method, tested in the isomerization of 3, 4-dichlorobutene-1 into 1, 4-dichlorobutene-2. this catalyst shows a high...

Reaction with halogen vapor allows us to post-synthetically exchange halides in both three- (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic metal-halide perovskites. Films of 3D Pb-I perovskites cleanly convert to films of Pb-Br or Pb-Cl perovskites upon exposure to Br2 or Cl2 gas, respectively. This gas-solid reaction provides a simple method to produce the high-quality Pb-Br or Pb-Cl perovski...

Compact reformers (CRs) are promising devices for efficient fuel processing. In CRs, a thin solid plate is sandwiched between two catalyst layers to enable efficient heat transfer from combustion duct to the reforming duct for fuel processing. In this study, a 2D heat and mass transfer model is developed to investigate the fundamental transport phenomenon and chemical reaction kinetics in a CR ...

An essential step in many chemical reactions occurring at gas-solid interfaces is the associative desorption reaction, A(ad) + B(ad) AB(g), where two atoms adsorbed on the surface combine to form a molecule that desorbs to the gas phase. This reaction has been studied in several laboratories1 by a variety of techniques because of its importance to heterogeneous catalysis, high-temperature oxida...

During the synthesis of SiC, Si3N 4 and sialon whiskers by carbothermal reduction of SiO 2, a localized formation of amorphous phases or Si2N20 powders was observed beneath these whiskers. Because these whiskers were formed by the vapour/solid mechanism, the controlling gas phase was of primary importance to obtain whiskers of tailored morphology and chemistry. To elucidate the effect of the ga...

This paper presents a numerical investigation for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas in a rectangular duct with a solid element that makes a backward facing step. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The governing differential equations consisting the continuity, momentum and energy are solved numerically by the computational fluid dynamics t...
