Flaring produces significant amount of particulate matter in the form of soot, along with other harmful gas emissions. A few experimental studies have previously been done on flames burning in a controlled condition. In these lab-experiments, great effort is needed to collect, sample, and analyze the soot so that the emission rate can be calculated. Soot prediction in flares is tricky due to variable conditions such as radiation and surrounding air available for combustion. Work presented in this paper simulates some lab-scale flares in which soot yield for methane flame mixture was measured under different conditions. The focus of this paper is on soot modeling with various flair operating conditions. The computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS Fluent 13 is used. Different soot models were explored along with other chemistry mechanisms. The effect of radiation models, quantity of air supplied, different fuel mixture and its effect over soot formations were also studied.展开更多

In this study, 3-dimensional unsteady numerical simulations of the soot formation and oxidation in oxidation section in a heat coupling reactor were carried out by computational fluid dynamics(CFD) approach incorporating the Moss-Brookes model for soot formation. The model has been validated and proven to be in good agreement with experiment results. Effects of nozzle type,nozzle convergence angle, channel spacing, number of channels, radius/height ratio, oxygen/carbon ratio, preheat temperature and additional introduction of steam on the soot formation were simulated. Results show that the soot formation in oxidation section of the heat coupling reactor depends on both nozzle structures and operation conditions, and the soot concentration can be greatly reduced by optimization with the maximum mass fraction of soot inside the oxidation reactor from 2.28% to 0.0501%, and so that the soot mass fraction at the exit reduces from0.74% to 0.03%.展开更多

By referring to statistical yearbook and investigating energy usage and economy activity levels of various industrial sectors of Chongqing, basic data （activity level, energy production and consumption situation） of various economic sectors of Chongqing during 2007 -2012 were ob- tained. Using emission coefficient method, soot emission inventory in Chongqing during 2007 -2012 was established. Meanwhile, input-output model containing environmental factor was established to study relationship between economy development and environmental protection and number relationship between economy development and pollutant emission. According to the results, countermeasures of emission reduction in Chongqing were put forward.展开更多

Our analysis detects narrowly defined communication deadlocks by finding a cyclic dependency relation in a novel dependency graph called the slave dependency graph. The slave dependency graph is based on a new relationship between Actors, slave dependency, defined by us. After that, we implement this theory in Soot, an analysis tool for Java, and use it to analyze actor-based Java program realized by Akka, a Java library that allows actor-based programming. We argue that our analysis can detect a specific kind of communication deadlock with the precise result, but has many limitations.展开更多
