This document presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to study the effects of carbon deposit from methane gas on Zeolite Y catalyst activity in a packed bed reactor. The model considers two cases - the influence of carbon deposition on catalyst activity, and the effect of carbon deposits on fluid flow over time and space. The CFD model is developed using Comsol Multiphysics software and simulates methane decomposition in the packed bed reactor, accounting for reactions, fluid flow, heat transfer, and carbon deposition over time. Results from the first model show increases in hydrogen production and carbon deposition over time, indicating methane decomposition is occurring as well as catalyst deactivation from carbon.
The boy looks distressed and tired with a visible facial injury. A man driving sees the boy and slows down, concerned about helping. He gets out of his car and calls the boy "kid," showing he doesn't know him. The camera gives a close-up of the boy's bloody, dark skin injury on his arm, likely a burn causing him great pain when the man approaches.
A Predictive Control Strategy for Power Factor CorrectionIOSR Journals

Efficient Doubletree: An Algorithm for Large-Scale Topology DiscoveryIOSR Journals
The document describes the Efficient Doubletree algorithm, which aims to efficiently discover large-scale Internet topologies in a network-friendly manner through cooperation between monitors. It does this by reducing both intra-monitor and inter-monitor redundancy in topology discovery approaches. The algorithm works in two phases - forward probing from an initial hop count to discover new interfaces, and backward probing to reduce redundancy seen by individual monitors. It uses two trees and stopping rules to avoid duplicating work within and across monitors during probing. Evaluation shows the approach can significantly reduce measurement load while maintaining high interface and link coverage.
