Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to mimic turbulent-enhanced reactivity under confinement by the addition of dilute high molecular weight polymers. Micro-scale imaging within a transparent porous medium reveals an elastic instability (EI), which drives chaotic fluctuations that stretch and fold solute blobs exponentially in time analogous to turbulent Batchelor mixing, despite the low Re. A reduction in the required mixing length can be observed, suggesting a cooperation between the elastic instability and the dispersion inherent to the disordered 3D porous media—which can be modeled as additive independent mixing rates, representing a dramatic conceptual simplification. The disclosed enhanced transport of solutes circumvents the traditional trade-off between throughput and reactor length, allowing a simultaneous large reduction in length and increases in throughput. Elastic flow instabilities can provide turbulent-like enhancements in chemical reaction rates, which can operate cooperatively with dispersive mixing in industrially relevant geometries.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for dissolving ammonia gas in deionized water. The system includes a deionized water source and a gas mixing device including a first inlet for receiving ammonia gas, a second inlet for receiving a transfer gas, and a mixed gas outlet for outputting a gas mixture including the ammonia gas and the transfer gas. The system includes a contactor that receives the deionized water and the gas mixture and generates deionized water having ammonia gas dissolved therein. The system includes a sensor in fluid communication with at least one inlet of the contactor for measuring a flow rate of the deionized water, and a controller in communication with the sensor. The controller sets a flow rate of the ammonia gas based on the flow rate of the deionized water measured by the sensor, and a predetermined conductivity set point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method dispensing flows of two or more fluid streams in varying ratios from a fixed ratio piston proportioning pump. The method comprises determining a desired volume of fluid to dispense, determining the total piston displacement amount required to dispense the desired volume of the fluid, measuring a piston displacement amount as the piston moves to determine when the total piston displacement amount has been achieved, and bypassing the fluid at the ingress port or the egress port, preventing the dispense of the fluid while the piston continues to move when the piston displacement amount reaches the total piston displacement amount. Exemplary embodiments include changing chamber volumes to change the ratiometric mixture of two or more fluid streams and using injected fluid as the motive force to move the piston back and forth within the cylinder.
