  • Publication number: 20240051825
    Abstract: A process for producing a synthesis gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide by noncatalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide, in which at least one reactant gas comprising hydrocarbons, an oxygen-comprising reactant gas and a carbon dioxide-comprising reactant gas are fed into a partial oxidation reactor and reacted at a temperature in the range from 1200 to 1550° C. to give a product gas mixture comprising water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, at least by separating a portion of the carbon dioxide from the product gas mixture and recycling it into the partial oxidation reactor, wherein the carbon dioxide fed into the partial oxidation reactor comprises additional imported carbon dioxide, giving a product gas mixture in the partial oxidation reactor that has a molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide in the range from 0.8:1 to 1.6:1.

  • Patent number: 11243151
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for carrying out bending tests on panel-shaped or beam-shaped samples (1), in which two rotary drives are arranged at a distance from one another and a flange (3) is fastened to each of the drive shafts of the rotary drives, said drive shafts being oriented parallel to one another. At least two bar-shaped bending elements (2) oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive shafts and arranged at a distance from the axis of rotation and at a distance from one another are provided on each of the flanges (3). A panel-shaped or beam-shaped sample (1) can be introduced between the two bar-shaped bending elements (2) on the two flanges (3). In the event of rotation of the rotary drives in opposite directions of rotation, bending forces are exerted on the sample (1) and each of the two rotary drives can be controlled individually and connected to an electronic open-loop or closed-loop control unit.

  • Patent number: 10151645
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and to a method for the synchronous determination of the shear modulus and of the Poisson's number on samples of elastically isotropic and anisotropic materials. In the arrangement, an indenter is movable in parallel with its longitudinal axis (A) in the direction of the surface of a sample such that a force action is exerted on the material by its tip. The force can be determined by a device for measuring this force and the indenter is additionally deflected in translation along at least one further axis. The longitudinal axis (A) of the indenter is aligned at an angle ?90° with respect to the surface of the sample and the indenter carries out an upward movement and a downward movement.

  • Patent number: 10153062
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an illumination and imaging device for high-resolution X-ray microscopy with high photon energy, comprising an X-ray source (1) for emitting X-ray radiation and an area detector (4) for detecting the X-ray radiation. Moreover, the device comprises a monochromatizing and two-dimensionally focussing condenser-based optical system (2) arranged in the optical path of X-ray radiation with two reflective elements (6) being arranged side-by-side for focussing impinging X-ray radiation on an object to be imaged (5) and a diffractive X-ray lens (3) for imaging the object to be imaged (5) on the X-ray detector (4). Typically, the illumination and imaging device is used for performing radiography, tomography and examination of a micro-electronic component or an iron-based material.
