Numerical study of effective thermal conductivity of periodic complex structures to be used in HIDiC
In this numerical investigation, the effective thermal conductivities (ETC) of periodic complex structures are evaluated. These structures are to be used as packing in Heat-Integrated Distillation Columns (HIDiC). Only high-porosity (>85%) complex structures are considered for ... Read More
Evaluating Goethite-Laterite Fixed-bed Adsorbent of Hexavalent Chromium [Cr (VI)] in Mine Wastewater
The presence of hexavalent chromium in dangerous concentrations in mine wastewater poses a hazard to the environment and emphasizes the development of technology in wastewater treatment is important. This study focused on the simulation of a fixed-bed adsorption column of soil and water ... Read More
Numerical simulation to improve the H2O-barrier property of films by integration of water absorbers
Flexible electronic devices are very sensitive against the ingress of oxygen and water vapor from the atmosphere and therefore must be protected by encapsulation with high barrier films. Typically these films contain at least two or three inorganic barrier layers separated by polymeric ... Read More
Relaxed Adsorption-flow Coupling Enables Stable COMSOL Multiphysics® Modeling of Upscaled Capacitive Deionization
The rapidly increasing world population will dramatically expand the future global freshwater requirements, now making lots of researchers realize the fundamental importance of developing effective desalination technologies. Hence, the emerging capacitive deionization (CDI) desalination ... Read More
CFD modelling of a carbonation reactor
The transition to sustainable production includes the reduction of fossil material usage. Vegetable oil can be used as a reagent to form polyurethane by epoxidation through three major reaction steps, epoxidation, carbonation, and aminolysis. Many attempts have been made to model these ... Read More
A Pyroprobe Design for Millisecond Time-Scale Resolution of Bio-Based Sustainable Reaction Products
Existing commercial pyrolysis systems do not have the capability to perform millisecond-scale temporal analysis of pyrolysis vapors that can provide time-resolved experimental data on the reactive and stable gas-phase intermediates predicted by models based on Density Functional Theory ...
