    Abstract: A system for generating a gas may include a pyrolysis reactor configured to pyrolyze a hydrocarbon to generate hydrogen and carbon. The pyrolysis reactor is further configured to contact the carbon with an agitated bed comprising metal oxide substrate particles to generate carbon-coated metal oxide particles. A technique for generating a gas may include agitating metal oxide substrate particles to form an agitated bed in a pyrolysis reactor. The technique may further include pyrolyzing, in the pyrolysis reactor, a hydrocarbon to generate hydrogen and carbon. The technique may further include contacting, in the pyrolysis reactor, the carbon with the agitated bed to generate carbon-coated metal oxide particles.

    Abstract: A gas compression system includes a system inlet to receive a gas stream containing a first component and a second component, a vapor system outlet to discharge the gas stream, and a plurality of compression stages coupled in series between the system inlet and the vapor system outlet. Each of the plurality of compression stages includes a compressor, a condenser coupled to the compressor, and a gravity-independent phase separator coupled to the condenser. The compressor is configured to receive the gas stream from either the system inlet or another of the plurality of compression stages and compress the gas stream. The condenser is configured to condense the second component from the gas stream. The gravity-independent phase separator is configured to remove the second component from the gas stream and discharge the gas stream to either the system outlet or another of the plurality of compression stages.

    Abstract: In some examples, a membrane module includes a fiber bundle. The fiber bundle includes a tubular first region and a tubular second region positioned around the tubular first region. One of the first or second regions includes hollow fibers oriented along an axis of the fiber bundle. Another of the first or second regions includes hollow fibers that are not colinear in a radial direction from the axis of the fiber bundle. A void fraction of the second region is different from a void fraction of the first region.

    Abstract: An environmental control system includes an air conditioning subsystem; a mix manifold downstream of the air conditioning subsystem and upstream of an environment to be conditioned; and a contaminant removal subsystem downstream of the environment to be conditioned. The contaminant removal subsystem includes a first gas-liquid contactor-separator. The first gas-liquid contactor-separator includes a first packed, stationary bed that provides a heat/mass transfer surface for contact between a contaminated air from the environment and a liquid absorbent.
