Heat Engines

3.7K
A heat engine is a device used to extract heat from a source and then convert it into mechanical work used for various applications. For example, a steam engine on an old-style train can produce the work needed for driving the train.
Whenever we consider heat engines (and associated devices such as refrigerators and heat pumps), we do not use the standard sign convention for heat and work. For convenience, we assume that the symbols Qh, Qc, and W represent only the amounts of heat transferred...

Internal Combustion Engine

2.8K
The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that uses the byproducts of combustion as the working fluid instead of using a heat transfer medium to transfer heat. The combustion is done in a way that produces high-pressure combustion products that can be expanded through a turbine or piston to create work. Internal combustion engines can again be categorized into three kinds: (1) spark ignition gasoline engines, most commonly used in automobiles, (2) compression ignition diesel engines that...

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Catalysis
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Effective nanoparticle engineering is crucial for developing advanced catalysts.
  • Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is vital for removing sulfur from fossil fuels, requiring efficient catalysts.
  • Nickel-Molybdenum-Sulfur (Ni-Mo-S) systems are promising for HDS applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rational approach for engineering highly active Ni-Mo-S nanoparticle catalysts.
  • To investigate the structure-activity relationships of Ni-Mo-S nanoparticles in HDS.
  • To optimize nanoparticle morphology for enhanced catalytic performance.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of Ni-Mo-S nanoparticles via sputtering and gas aggregation.
  • Morphological tuning of nanoparticles (fullerene-like, flat platelets, upright platelets) by controlling deposition mass.
  • Characterization using quadrupole mass filter and electron microscopy.
  • Evaluation of catalytic activity using a microreactor system for dibenzothiophene HDS.

Main Results:

  • Ni-Mo-S nanoparticles could be controllably engineered into distinct morphologies.
  • Platelet-shaped nanoparticles exhibited twice the HDS activity of fullerene-like particles.
  • Upright-oriented platelets demonstrated six times higher activity than fullerene-like particles.
  • Ni-Mo-S edge sites are more catalytically active and accessible than basal planes for HDS.

Conclusions:

  • Rational nanoparticle engineering enables the tuning of Ni-Mo-S catalysts for superior HDS performance.
  • Nanoparticle morphology and orientation significantly impact catalytic activity by controlling active site exposure.
  • This approach provides a pathway for designing next-generation catalysts for fossil fuel upgrading.
