AB  - Polymer-bonded magnets are a class of composite material that combines the magnetic properties of metal particles and the molding possibility of a polymeric matrix. This class of materials has shown huge potential for various applications in industry and engineering. Traditional research in this field has so far mainly focused on mechanical, electrical or magnetic properties of the composite, or on particle size and distribution. This examination of synthesized Nd-Fe-B-epoxy composite materials includes the mutual comparison of impact toughness, fatigue, and the structural, thermal, dynamic-mechanical, and magnetic behavior of materials with different content of magnetic Nd-Fe-B particles, in a wide range from 5 to 95 wt.%. This paper tests the influence of the Nd-Fe-B content on impacting the toughness of the composite material, as this relationship has not been tested before. The results show that impact toughness decreases, while magnetic properties increase, along with increasing content of Nd-Fe-B. Based on the observed trends, selected samples have been analyzed in terms of crack growth rate behavior. Analysis of the fracture surface morphology reveals the formation of a stable and homogeneous composite material. The synthesis route, the applied methods of characterization and analysis, and the comparison of the obtained results can provide a composite material with optimum properties for a specific purpose.

AB  - This paper introduces solute-solvent interactions onto a universal transport modeling approach that has been recently introduced for predicting RO membrane performance. The mathematical modeling framework utilizes chemical potential calculations rather than concentrations, and is based on the standard solution diffusion theory. Accounting for solute-solvent interactions were all based on a Maxwell-Stefan approach for reduced motion of particles in membrane pores. Overall, the proposed model is very effective in generating all the necessary parameters, especially for estimating the water permeability, as well as the various permeabilities associated with both, monovalent and divalent types of ion in the solution. Moreover, the effects of osmotic pressure on the respective species and water flux can be estimated. The proposed RO model was found to be very efficient in predicting the performance of various types of membranes, and its performance has been validated against available membrane performance data obtained from various sources. Since the attained model predictions are in very good agreement with actual membrane performance data, the proposed model can be considered as a very effective tool for use in commercial process simulator platforms.

AB  - Environmental regulations imposed on transport fuels, especially specifications on sulfur and nitrogen content, generally boost hydrogen requirements in refining industries. The catalytic naphtha reformer (CNR) process is one of the major sources of hydrogen in naphtha refinery, thus improving its hydrogen production would be of great importance for refining industries. Close examination of the reaction kinetics of CNR processes has identified temperature, hydrogen concentration and catalyst activity as key variables affecting the process's performance. In this paper, a new reactor concept is developed that better exploits these process variables. The proposed membrane moving-bed reactor promises to significantly outperform the conventional continuous catalyst regenerative (CCR) design. A case study identifies improvements of 23.6 mol% in hydrogen production, 18.8 mol% in aromatics production. Moreover, the reformate yield was found to increase by 10.6 wt%, while the production of light gases decreases to a value of 18.6 wt%. Copyright
