Abstract

Advanced materials known as Magnetorheological Elastomers (MREs) can be used to dampen vibrations. These materials reduce vibration disturbances by responding to an externally applied magnetic field, which alternate their mechanical characteristics. The objective of this research is to explore the effect of incorporating magnetic nanomaterials (Fe₃O₄) on the properties of MRE. The modified material is expected to exhibit enhanced sensitivity to magnetic fields, thereby improving its vibration-damping performance. The MRE mixture utilized in this investigation consists of Carbonyl Iron Powder (CIP), silicone oil, and silicone rubber, with mass percentages of 30%, 5%, and 65%, respectively. The MRE was then given magnetite nanomaterials in amounts of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% of the total weight. To produce MRE, thoroughly mix the silicone rubber with silicone oil and then gradually add the carbonyl iron powder, ensuring uniform dispersion. Once the homogeneity was achieved, the magnetite nanomaterial were incorporated into the MRE mixture with precision. The resulting composite were then cured, optionally under a magnetic field to induce anisotropic alignment. Laboratory tests were conducted on the new material. These tests involved analyzing their elemental composition and evaluating their viscoelastic properties. The research findings indicate the successful development of MREs containing Fe₃O₄ nanomaterials for the purpose of vibration dampening within the frequency range of 1–100 Hz. At a center frequency of 1,167 Hz, MRE-2 (MRE with a 0.5% addition of Fe₃O₄) demonstrated the strongest damping performance, exhibiting the highest tan δ value. This makes MRE-2 the primary choice. MRE-1 is an excellent alternative due to its high stiffness and effective damping at low frequencies.

Abstract

Biomass co-gasification combined with catalytic upgrading offers a promising pathway for enhancing hydrogen-rich syngas production. This study investigates co-gasification of corncob and wood pellets in an updraft fixed-bed reactor, integrated with ex-situ CaO/Si catalytic upgrading. Nine experimental runs were conducted by varying the corncob: pellet ratio (1:1–3:1), catalyst loading (6–10 wt% of 80 g biomass), and CaO/Si ratio (1:1–3:1), while reactor geometry, inlet air speed (10 m/s), and run duration (1500 s) were kept constant. The product gas was routed through an ex-situ catalyst bed, cooled in a condenser, and then analyzed using calibrated MQ sensors (H₂, CH₄, CO, CO₂). Gas composition was monitored using calibrated MQ sensors to provide comparative trends among operating conditions. The best performance was observed in Run 7 (50:50 biomass ratio, 10 wt% catalyst, CaO/Si = 2:1), achieving peak H₂ at 8000 ppm and CH₄ at 46,000 ppm, while CO₂ decreased to 16,000 ppm compared with several other runs. This outcome was consistent with CO₂ sorption by CaO, which can shift reactions toward higher H₂ formation (e.g., via the WGS equilibrium), and was supported by downstream upgrading reactions in the hot-gas line. The results suggest that combining biomass blending with ex-situ CaO/Si upgrading can improve the characteristics of hydrogen-enriched syngas within the investigated operating range.Biomass co-gasification combined with catalytic upgrading offers a promising pathway for enhancing hydrogen-rich syngas production.
