TL;DR: In this article, the transesterification kinetics of five different solid catalysts with soybean oil is presented, and the yield of the fatty acid methyl esters and the kinetics (rate constant and order) of the reaction are estimated and compared for each catalyst.
Abstract: Homogeneous acid or base catalysts dissolve fully in the glycerol layer and partially in the fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel) layer in the triglyceride transesterification process. Heterogeneous (solid) catalysts, on the other hand, can prevent catalyst contamination making product separation much simpler. In the present work, the transesterification kinetics of five different solid catalysts with soybean oil is presented. It is found that heterogeneous catalysts require much higher temperatures and pressures to achieve acceptable conversion levels compared to homogeneous catalysts. Subsequent to preliminary investigations, transesterifications were conducted for selected high performance solid catalysts, i.e., MgO, CaO, BaO, PbO, and MnO2 in a high pressure reactor up to a temperature of 215 °C. The yield of the fatty acid methyl esters and the kinetics (rate constant and order) of the reaction are estimated and are compared for each catalyst.

TL;DR: The testbed enables a research process in which cybersecurity vulnerabilities are discovered, exploits are used to understand the implications of the vulnerability on controlled physical processes, identified problems are classified by criticality and similarities in type and effect, and finally cybersecurity mitigations are developed and validated against within the testbed.

TL;DR: In this article, the composites were characterized by FT-TR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Xray energy dispersive spectroscopy (X-EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and three-point bending flexural tests.
Abstract: Cyanate ester (PT-15, Lonza Corp.) composites containing the blended polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), TriSilanolPhenyl-POSS (C42H38O12Si7), were prepared containing PT-15/POSS 99/1, 97/3, 95/5, 90/10, and 85/15 w/w ratios. The composites were characterized by FT-TR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (X-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and three-point bending flexural tests. TriSilanolPhenyl-POSS was throughly dispersed into uncured liquid PT-15 resin. After curing, XRD, SANS, and X-EDS measurements were consistent with partial molecular dispersion of a portion of the POSS units in the continuous matrix phase while the remainder forms POSS aggregates. Larger aggregates are formed at higher loadings. SANS, SEM, and TEM show that POSS-enriched nanoparticles are present in the PT-15/POSS composites. The storage bending moduli, E‘, and the g...

04 May 2019TL;DR: A novel porosity prediction method based on the temperature distribution of the top surface of the melt pool as an AM part is being built is proposed and is able to predict the location of porosity almost 96% of the time when the appropriate SOM model using a thermal profile is selected.
Abstract: One major challenge of implementing Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) for production is the lack of understanding of its underlying process–structure–property relationshi...
