TLDR
A fast quench reaction includes a reactor chamber having a high temperature heating means such as a plasma torch at its inlet and a means of rapidly expanding a reactant stream, such as restrictive convergent-divergent nozzle at its outlet end.Abstract:
A fast quench reaction includes a reactor chamber having a high temperature heating means such as a plasma torch at its inlet and a means of rapidly expanding a reactant stream, such as a restrictive convergent-divergent nozzle at its outlet end. Metal halide reactants are injected into the reactor chamber. Reducing gas is added at different stages in the process to form a desired end product and prevent back reactions. The resulting heated gaseous stream is then rapidly cooled by expansion of the gaseous stream.read more

System and method of brokering cloud computing resources
Abstract: System, method, and tangible computer-readable storage media are disclosed for providing a brokering service for compute resources The method includes, at a brokering service, polling a group of separately administered compute environments to identify resource capabilities and information, each compute resource environment including the group of managed nodes for processing workload, receiving a request for compute resources at the brokering service system, the request for compute resources being associated with a service level agreement (SLA) and based on the resource capabilities across the group of compute resource environments, selecting compute resources in one or more of the group of compute resource environments The brokering service system receives workload associated with the request and communicates the workload to the selected resources for processing The brokering services system can aggregate resources for multiple cloud service providers and act as an advocate for or a guarantor of the SLA associated with the workload

Plasma Thermal Conversion of Methane to Acetylene
James R. Fincke,Raymond Paul Anderson,Timothy A. Hyde,Brent A. Detering,Randy Ben Wright,Randy Lee Bewley,D.C. Haggard,W.D. Swank +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a re-examination of a known process for the direct plasma thermal conversion of methane to acetylene was described, and improvements in conversion efficiency, yield, and specificity were due primarily to improved injector design and reactant mixing, and minimization of temperature gradients and cold boundary layers.

Simple integration of an on-demand compute environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method of integrating an on-demand compute environment into a local compute environment is presented, which includes receiving a request from an administrator to integrate an ON-demand computing environment into local compute environments and, in response to the request, automatically integrating local computing environment information with ondemand compute environments information to make available resources from the ON-Demand compute environment to requestors of resources in the local computing environments.

Hydrogen and elemental carbon production from natural gas and other hydrocarbons
Brent A. Detering,Peter C. Kong +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a fast quench reactor is used to produce diatomic hydrogen and unsaturated hydrocarbons, which are then further decomposed by reheating the reactor gases.

Process for the conversion of natural gas to reactive gaseous products comprising ethylene
TL;DR: In this paper, a process for converting natural gas to reactive gaseous products, comprising heating the gas through a selected range of temperature for sufficient time, or combusting a portion of the gas at a sufficient temperature and under suitable conditions for a reaction time, is described.
