Experimental and numerical study of turbulent mixing in a model of a polymerization reactor

In this study the turbulent mixing in a model of a polymerization reactor is analyzed experimentally and numerically. The model corresponds to a zone of an autoclave reactor equipped with a stirrer. Two different configurations of the stirrer, with different arrangement of the paddles, have been considered. The mixing process has been monitored by following the time-evolution of injections of a passive scalar through the different inlets of the model. The time-evolution of the mixing quality in a laboratory scale model of the reactor has been measured using water and the Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF)technique. Numerical simulations of the flow and of the mixing processes were carried out and results of the evolution of the mixing are compared successfully with measurements. The mixing processes are dominated by the flow topology generated by the rotation of the stirrer. Superimposed to the tangential flow, secondary flows divide the length of the reactor in different zones. It has been found that macro mixing in each individual zone is a relatively fast process and that the mixing rates within each zone are very similar. However, the mixing rate between different zones is a relatively slow process.

Detecting fatigue cracks in hydraulic turbine runners is costly, as it requires stopping the unit, emptying it of water and accessing the runner for inspection. Thus, an alternative way based on monitoring the changes of the structural modal response induced by the formation and growth of a crack was investigated. To do so, the crack propagation induced by a resonance was numerically predicted and experimentally machined on a disk-like structure that resembles a Kaplan turbine runner. The analysis of the results shows how the different stages of the fatigue crack growth can be monitored based on the change of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of several specific modes. Based on the obtained results, a structural health monitoring system is being designed to monitor the turbine runner modes of vibration without the need to stop and inspect the unit.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>An environmentally benign and cost efficient cysteine fluorescence sensor is constructed on the basis of nitrogen doped carbon nanodots (NCNDs) prepared by using citron fruit extract and human urine waste as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The turn-off-on fluorescence technique is exploited for the sensing of cysteine, in which the initial fluorescence of NCNDs is quenched with Hg<SUP>2+</SUP> <I>via</I> an electron transfer process. Owing to the competitive binding of Hg<SUP>2+</SUP> with cysteine, the ‘turn-off’ fluorescence sensor is switched to the ‘turn-on’ state. Under optimized conditions, NCNDs-Hg<SUP>2+</SUP> assembly demonstrates a lower detection limit and a wide linear range toward cysteine detection. Furthermore, NCNDs display the discriminative detection of cysteine from the similar bioactive molecules and the co-existence of interference species does not influence the detection of NCNDs toward the interest of an analyte. Furthermore, the practical application of NCNDs based fluorescence sensor is validated with the good recovery in human urine samples, which explores the new avenues in the fluorescence sensing of biomolecules.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Environmentally benign NCNDs are prepared from citron and human urine. </LI> <LI> Turn-off-on fluorescence technique is exploited for the cysteine sensing. </LI> <LI> Fluorescence behavior of NCNDs is quenched with Hg<SUP>2+</SUP> and is regenerated with cysteine. </LI> <LI> NCNDs exhibit rapid fluorometric response with a LOD of 40 nM toward cysteine. </LI> <LI> NCNDs demonstrate selective cysteine detection and real sample analysis. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are widely used in industry to produce a number of products (cosmetics, paints, foods). TiO2 nanoparticles form aggregates and their toxicity varies in function of their size. In this study, aggregate sizes were determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The stability of the suspension was evaluated by turbidimetry and the size by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). In the present study the toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles was evaluated in vitro on rat kidney proximal tubular cells(NRK-52E). Cells were exposed to TiO2 nanoparticles (20 μg/mL) for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. TiO2 nanoparticles induce the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS). The relative number of mitosis decreased, while an increase of apoptotic cells was noted. The number of S-phase cells evidenced by BrdU immunoreactivity in cultures was significantly reduced by the exposure to the nanoparticles. These results attest to the toxic effect of the TiO2 nanoparticles on NRK-52E cells.

The potential impact of antibiotics in water environments affects aquatic organisms, microbial communitystructure, and resistance genes. In this work, we report the hydrothermal synthesis of twodimensional(2D) tungsten carbide (WC) nanoparticles on CO32- anion intercalated three-dimensional(3D) self-assembled nickel–cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) nanorods, for the electrochemicaldetermination of norfloxacin (NRF). The synergistic impact between the dual active components ofthe prepared electrode offered increased active surface area, high electrical conductivity, and promptmass and ion diffusion, resulting in improved electrochemical performance for NRF monitoring. In idealconditions, WC@NiCo-LDH modified electrode exhibited enhanced electrochemical characteristics, widelinear response (DPV = 0.02–83.4 lM and in i-t = 0.002–346 lM), and lowdetection limit (LOD) (DPV = 0. 005 lM and i-t = 0.002 lM). Furthermore, good reproducibility, virtuous operational and cycle stabilities,were obtained. The practical applications in real-world samples with acceptable recovery ranges wereverified the interference-free sensing of NRF.
