In this study a velocity field model around a Taylor bubble is established after the analysis of the disturbed region around the bubble . The model combines the continuity and yield stress fluid constitutive equations . Based on this velocity field model an energy dissipation model for the work accomplished by each resistance of bubbles is proposed . In addition based on an analysis of energy conservation a new model for predicting the velocity of a Taylor bubble in a yield stress fluid is presented . The experiments of Taylor bubble through Carbopol solution migration in 50 and 60mm diameter tubes were carried out . Results show that the yield stress has considerable influence on the rise speed of the bubble improving the anti disturbance ability of the fluid and further stabilizing the tail of the bubble . Combined with experimental data the bubble velocity prediction model is verified and the error value of the calculation result is found to be less than 6 . An energy analysis of the Taylor bubble rising process shows that the volume of the bubble increases the proportion of work done by inertial force and surface tension decreases and that done by viscosity force and yield stress increases . The work done by surface tension has little effect on the rise speed of bubbles which can be ignored . The Taylor bubble velocity changes slightly with the volume as the bubble volume increases and the buoyancy work is consumed by the viscous and inertial forces in the film region .
A new model for predicting Taylor bubble rise velocity was established. The models of velocity field in different regions around bubbles were established. Based on the velocity field model an energy conservation method was proposed. Contribution of each force to the rising velocity of bubbles was clarified.

Ultrathin 2D carbon nitride sheets are potential materials for solar energy conversion . However these ultrathin sheets usually suffer from a wider bandgap of 3.06eV and thus nothing but ultraviolet range absorption . Here we realized that red CNs has a narrower bandgap of 2.05eV with a strong band to band visible light absorption band by fluorination of atomic CNs followed by thermal defluorination . Theoretical calculation results indicate that a defect band arises near the conduction band minimum after F DF resulting in a downward shift of the CBM and the band structures are highly associated with the spatial distribution of defects in ultrathin 2D CNs . Furthermore we confirm that such visible light absorption band of red CNs can enable the number of photons to harvest a larger portion of solar spectrum and suppress the rapid recombination of the photogenerated carriers . Consequently the red CNs sensitized TiO

Focus on the design and execution of super hydrophobic strategies the phase control methodology that is solvent volatilization and crystallization induced phase separation at low temperature is proposed to construct three dimension poly porous structures denser stereo complexed crystals protrusions and bi continuous SCs fibrillary networks in poly poly blends for the first time . We show that generating hierarchical structures are keys to enable the super hydrophobicity instead of traditionally adding fillers . By comparing the interfacial configurations of PLA pores with different PDLA content it is shown that numerous SCs protrusions on the skeleton of 3D pores with 30 PDLA especially for the bi continuous SCs fibrillary networks with 50 PDLA very different from the porous morphology of pure PLLA . The controllable PLA chains sharply facilitate the formation of SCs protrusions by the hydrogen bonding which give rise to the limited time to growth ordered and large sized lamellae . Of particular interests are our first establishments of developing uniform SCs protrusions on the internal 3D porous skeleton and multi scale 3D fibrillary network structure for stereo complex PLA which afford the inner hydrophobic coincidence with the surface even after processed one hour by ultrasound in water . Therefore we hypothesize that the key factor influencing super hydrophobicity of the PLLA PDLA films are 3D pores and bi continuous SCs fibrillary networks combined with the roughly crystalline surface structure resembling rugged protrusions leading to the water contact angle up to 155 . Moreover the icing resistance and thermal degradation behavior are highly obvious . This work firstly pave the way to polymer derived networks with combination of self constructed crystallization protrusions and bi continuous 3D fibrillary network structure by hydrogen bonding for elegant implementation of super hydrophobic characteristics other than the traditional addition of fillers .

Fluidized bed electrodes could offer an interesting way to increase the electrode surface area applicable in electrochemical processes when the problem of poor electrical contact within the particle bed could be overcome . We recently demonstrated that the contacting can be improved by the use of magnetizable electrode particles and the superposition of a magnetic field . However details of the magnetic influence on the charge transport are still mostly unknown . In this work we investigate the electrodynamics of a fluidized bed electrode with and without the superposition of a magnetic field by means of chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy . In the chronoamperometric studies two types of charge transfer mechanism can be distinguished by the slope of the resistance increase with increasing distance between the electrodes . In close proximity to the electrodes direct conductive charge transfer along statistically formed particle chains dominates . Because the probability of uninterrupted particle chains quickly diminishes with increasing length above a certain distance of approx . 6mm a second so called convective charge transfer mechanism dominates . This mechanism is based on the transfer of electrons between colliding fluidized particles and corresponds with a substantially higher specific resistance . The conductive charge transfer mechanism can be enhanced by up to a factor of four applying a superimposed magnetic field while the second mechanism shows only a weak field dependence . The presented equivalent circuit model and the magnetic field dependency of its parameters contribute to a deeper understanding of the novel magnetically stabilized fluidized bed electrode and demonstrate the usefulness of EIS measurements for the prediction of the effectiveness of a particle based electrochemical reactor .
Improved charge transport within a fluidized bed electrode by a superimposed magnetic field. Doubling of the specific conductivity in close proximity to the working electrode. Enhancement of the effective capacity and effective electrode surface by up to 400 .

In this study a novel pressure drop model of gas liquid flow with mass transfer in the tree typed microchannels is proposed by extending from the gas liquid flow with mass transfer in the single microchannel . For the gas liquid flow with mass transfer in the single microchannel the evolution of the length of the bubble along the microchannel is divided into the body shortening stage and the cap shrinking stage . At two different stages the decreasing rates of the bubble length and velocity are obviously different . Consequently a novel calculation method of the number of slug units based on the time scale is presented and the model of average pressure drop of a slug unit is revised . Then compared with flow behavior in the single microchannel two major flow patterns in the tree typed microchannels are identified as non breakup flow and breakup flow . In the non breakup flow bubbles alternately enter the last level channel while in the breakup flow bubbles rupture and daughter bubbles respectively enter the last level channel . Subsequently the pressure drop model of the gas liquid flow with mass transfer in the tree typed microchannels is proposed by jointly considering the effects of the absorption and the bubble dynamics .

The presence of dyes as pollutants in wastewater sources from textile industries can cause significant health issues if they are not adequately treated . Dye adsorption to entrap contaminants in nanoparticle pores has created considerable attention in recent years due to the environmental concerns occurring as a result of spillage of dyes in water bodies . In efforts to understand adsorption capability UiO 66 metal organic frameworks were developed and examined for the separation of four pollutant dyes containing methyl red methyl orange malachite green and methylene blue which are widely used in textile industries . The adsorbent structural stability in water chloroform and dimethylformamide was studied for one year period to understand their chemical stability . The UiO 66 crystalline structure remained unchanged in water and chloroform while XRD patterns of UiO 66 aged in DMF showed only a minor change which might be due to the partially exterior framework collapse . The maximum adsorption capacities of pristine UiO 66 for anionic methyl red and methyl orange dyes were slightly higher than those of the cationic malachite green and methylene blue dyes particularly at lower pH values . The partition coefficients of pristine UiO 66 for MR MO MG and MB dyes were found to be 1.137 2.208 0.070 and 1.345mg g M respectively which indicated that pristine UiO 66 had a good affinity to MO dye . The adsorption results perfectly matched the pseudo second order kinetic model . The MR MO and MB adsorption isotherms have matched the Langmuir model while MG isotherms are in line with the Freundlich model . The distinctive features of the UiO 66 framework make it potentially applicable for the treatment of wastewater .

Substrate clogging is regarded as one of the main influencing factors on the sustainable operation in subsurface flow constructed wetlands . The accumulation of extracellular polymeric substances produced by microbial metabolism may contribute to the substrate clogging due to the increasing formation of biofilms in CWs . In this study the quantity and composition of EPS and the distribution and variation of bacterial communities in different CW systems with and without aeration and biochar addition were comparatively investigated . Biochar and intermittent aeration addition could shift the production and compositions of EPS in SSFCW . Higher total EPS production was observed in CW with intermittent aeration and biochar 328mg L
EPS microbial communities and its implications for clogging were investigated. Total EPS quantity increased in SSFCWs by applying aeration with biochar addition. Contents of different types of EPS decreased from upper to lower substrate layer. Biochar and aeration enhanced the abundance of microbes but reduced the diversity.
