Humic acid from a podzol soil was subjected to conventional flash pyrolysis and pyrolysis/methylation in the presence or absence of elemental sulphur. In conventional pyrolysis, fatty and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids decarboxylate were formed. In addition, cyclization and aromatization reactions of aliphatic chains lead to the formation of alkylbenzens, indenes, naphthalnes, etc.

Simulation of vortex sheddlng past a aquarr cyllndar near a wall g7yii5G. and Rodi, W. Int. J. Heat & Fluid Flow, Jun. 1996, 17, (3),
Calculations are reported for the flow past a square cylinder at Re=22 000 placed at various distances from an adjacent wall, including the limiting case without wall influence. Exneriments have indicated that unsteadv vortex shedding is suppressed wheh the wall is relatively close to the cylinder. Two-dimensional unsteady equations are solved which allow any periodic shedding motion to be resolverl; the superim sed turbulent flbciuations are simulated with two versions of the k-e turr ulence model: the standard k-e model and the modification attributable to Kato and Launder (1993), which eliminates the excessive turbulent kinetic energy production in stagnation regions produced by the standard model. Spanwlsa vortlclty structure In turbulent boundary Kkwicki, J. C. and Falco, R. E. Int. J. Heat & Fluid Flow, Aug. 1996, 17, 14’1.363-376.

Fuel, Sep. 1996, 75, (ll), 1301-1306. Nine liquid products from processing of high- and low-rank coals, oil shale and crude oil were analysed by quantitative FT-i.r. spectroscopy to understand the effect of sample structure on the absorptivities for aliphatic and aromatic CH bonds. Variation in the structure of samples was additionally enlarged by comprehensive fractionation of the products by liquid chromatography. n.m.r. spectroscopy was used as a reference analytical tool for the determination of the absorptivities. 98108702

A Reynolds stress closure dealgned for complex geometrlaa Craft, T. J. and Launder, B. E. Inr. J. Hear & Fluid Flow, Jun. 1996, 17, (3), 245-254. The paper describes steps in the development of a low Reynolds number second-moment closure for general flow geometries. This requirement means that the model cannot contain geometry-specific quantities, such as the wall-normal vector or wall distance. In their place, invariant dimensionless ‘gradient indicators’ are introduced.
Thermodynamic properties of Ideal gas alr 98108704 Park, Y. and Sonntag, R. E. Int. J. Energy Research, Sep. 1996, 20, (9), 771.785. The thermodynamic properties of ideal gas air at low pressure (0.1 MPa) are newly calculated, using the most recent spectroscopic data for its components. The components are the ‘ideal air’ are nitrogen, oxygen and argon, with appropriate volume fractions. The thermodynamic properties of the components are computed by means of statistical thermodynamics using the molecular, physical and spectroscopic data in the new set of Joint Army-Navy-Air Force (JANAF) tables. Therefore, the resulting air table is thermodynamically consistent with the JANAF tables. The reference temperature of enthalpy and entropy is zero degrees kelvin and the reference pressure is 0.1 MPa. The temperature range of the table is 100-4000 K, which covers most engineering interests.
A revlew of empirical flame lmplngemant heat transfer correlatlona Baukal, C. E. and Gebhart, B. Int. J. Hear & Fluid Flow, Aug. 1996, 17, (4), 386-396. Impinging flames are used in industrial heating and melting, safety research, and aerospace applications. Multiple modes of heat transfer are commonly important in those processes. However, the detailed heat transfer mechanisms are not well understood. The available semianalytical heat transfer solutions have only limited applicability. Therefore, researchers and designers have either made measurements or used empirical correlations to determine the heat flux rates. The paper reviews the empirical correlations. 98lO6775
