The tubular heating furnace is a key heating unit and a major energy consumer in refinery and chemical plants.Improving fuel combustion efficiency and the thermal efficiency of the heating furnace is of practical significance for energy conservation and emission reduction in these facilities. In this paper, the tubular heating furnace of aviation kerosene hydrofining unit is studied. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation method is adopted, and the standard k?ε turbulence model, component transport combustion model and P?1 radiation model are used. The temperature of the furnace, the average temperature of the surface of the furnace tube and the temperature distribution of the burner were investigated by changing the oxygen content of the combustion air. The results indicate that when the oxygen volume fraction changes in the range of 18.55%-26.00%, the oxygen volume fraction change has a significant impact on the temperature field and combustion efficiency in the furnace, and the existing radiation chamber, furnace tube and burner fully meet the needs of oxygen?rich combustion..

Boric acid is an important chemical raw material, and the development of its lamellarization technology is crucial for enhancing its performance and broadening its application fields. In this study, based on the boric acid solution system purified by resin (LSI⁃020/010), the innovative introduction of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) successfully induced the directional growth of boric acid crystals into a lamellar structure. The morphology characteristics of boric acid after additive incorporation was characterized using SEM. The effects of the introduction of MgSO4/Na2SO4 addition under weakly acidic conditions on the solubility of boric acid solution and the growth of crystal faces were analyzed by combining the COSMO⁃RS model and XRD. The interaction between MgSO4/Na2SO4 and boric acid crystals, as well as its impact on the B-O bond energy, was investigated using in⁃situ Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that boric acid exhibits a typical lamellar morphology after additive incorporation. The introduction of MgSO4/Na2SO4 under weakly acidic conditions significantly reduced the solubility of boric acid, promoting preferential crystal growth along the (002) and (004) planes. Moreover, the weak interaction between MgSO4/Na2SO4 and boric acid crystals reduces the B-O bond energy, which drove the growth of boric acid crystals towards lamellarisation. This study not only establishes a new boric acid lamellarization technology, but also elucidates the crystal growth mechanism at the molecular level, providing theoretical support for functionalized crystal engineering.

In order to break through the bottleneck of heat transfer efficiency of traditional printed circuit heat exchangers, a physical model of airfoil PCHE was established, numerical simulations were conducted to study the convective heat transfer of supercritical CO₂ in the model, the heat conduction principles of supercritical CO₂ under varying mass flow rates and inlet temperatures have been analyzed, and by changing the hydraulic diameter of the channel, further study the heat quantity transfer situation. The results indicate that the thermal exchange performance can be improved by increasing the mass flow rate and the inlet temperature of the cold fluid. At varied hydraulic diameter of the passage, the heat transfer capacity of PCHEs with chord lengths of 6 mm and 8 mm both increase with the increase of Reynolds number. When the Reynolds number is between 19 500 and 26 000, PCHEs with chord lengths of 6 mm and 8 mm have similar heat transfer performance; when the Reynolds number is between 26 000 and 50 000, the comprehensive performance of PCHE with a chord length of 8 mm is 2.55% higher than that of PCHE with a chord length of 6 mm. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the structural design of airfoil PCHE.

The Bohai Sea is very rich in heavy oil reserves. At present,the thermal recovery rate is so low that the potential for tapping the potential is huge. It is of great practical significance to discuss the feasibility of gas injection exploitation in offshore heavy oil field. Through gas injection expansion experiments and multiple contact experiments, the effects of different gas injection media (CO₂,N₂,natural gas) on heavy oils with different viscosities in the Bohai Sea (general I?1, general I?2?A, general I?2?B) the solubilization,expansion,viscosity reduction effect and mixing mechanism.The experimental results show that the compatibility of CO₂ and heavy oil is better than natural gas and better than N₂, the viscosity reduction rates of CO₂ to the three types of heavy oil are 78%,85%,and 90%,respectively,and the viscosity reduction rates of natural gas to the three types of heavy oil are 29%, 69%,and 62%, respectively. CO₂ injection is more suitable for general I?2?B heavy oil, and natural gas injection is more suitable for general I?2?A heavy oil; the results of multiple contact experiments show that the mass transfer mechanism of CO₂ flooding is dominated by dissolution and condensate, the mass transfer mechanism of N₂ flooding is dominated by extraction and extraction, and the mass transfer mechanism of natural gas flooding is the condensate?extraction balance; in addition, the theoretical minimum miscible pressures are all greater than 43.00 MPa, so it is difficult to form miscible at the displacement front. The research results can provide important basis and technical support for gas injection to enhance oil recovery in Bohai heavy oil fields.
