Modeling Flow of Magnetorheological Fluid through a Micro-channel

N.M. Bruno[1], C. Ciocanel[1] and A. Kipple[2]
[1]Department of Mechanical Engineering, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona, USA
[2]Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona, USA

This paper presents the approach taken through the utilization of COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a, to develop a model that simulates the flow of a magnetorheological (MR) fluid through a micro-channel. The model was developed as an aid in the analysis of a micropump that produces flow by means ... Read More

3D Simulation of an Ethanol Reformer

A. Cifuentes [1], J. Llorca [1], R. Torres [1], S. Rosell [1], J. Grau [1]
[1] Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

In order to improve hydrogen production in an ethanol reformer it is needed to understand what happens inside it. Also, a simulated model can simulate different work conditions avoiding the necessity of doing tons of experiments. A 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation study of ... Read More

Computational Fluid Dynamic Study of Fixed Bed Reactor of Hydrotreating of Vegetable Oil

N. Casillas [1], L. Olivo [1],
[1] Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Ciudad de México, México

Hydrodynamics of fixed bed reactors involve complex interactions of gas and liquid phases with packed solids. Such complex interactions manifest in different flow regimes occurring in trickle-bed reactors. A comprehensive CFD model was developed to predict measured hydrodynamic ... Read More

Aluminization Process from Ionic Liquid in Operative Conditions: Validation and Perspective

A. Giaccherini [1], E. Berretti [2], S. Martinuzzi [1], S. Caporali [1],
[1] INSTM, Firenze, Italy
[2] Department of Chemistry, University of Florence, Firenze, Italy

This work is a first evaluation of the validity of the frozen rotor approximation for the simulation of a stirred beaker. The agreement is good, further analysis will be carried before using the model to optimize labscale setup dedicated to IL electrochemistry. Read More

To a Fluidic Diode for Biomedical Application

A. Slami [1], [2], V. Tishkova [2], R. Grossier [2], M. Lagaize [2], S. Veesler [2], S. Sofiane [3], N. Candoni [2],
[1] Biomedical Engineering laboratory, University of Tlemcen, Algeria and Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille (CINaM), Marseille, France
[2] Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille (CINaM), Marseille, France
[3] Biomedical Engineering laboratory, University of Tlemcen, Algeria

This work is focused on Micropump optimization for drug delivery application. Diabetes is one of the widely pervaded diseases. Among the side effects of hyperglycemia is the weakness of the whole body, so the patient will be unable to inject manually the drug. Therefore, Micropumps are ... Read More

Simulation of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst Used in a NO_x Storage and Reduction system for Heavy Duty Trucks

C. Odenbrand, and E. Senar Serra
Department of Chemical Engineering, Lund University, Lund, Sweden

This work concerns the performance of an oxidation catalyst used in a NOx storage and reduction system. The oxidation of NO is the main objective of this study, where the presence of CO and propene has also been taken into account. Experimental data has been determined on a monolithic ... Read More

Modeling 2D and 3D of Hybrid Laser Nd:Yag - MIG Welding Processes

E. Le Guen[1], R. Fabbro[1], F. Coste[1], M. Carin[2], and P. Le Masson[2]
[1]LALP (CNRS)/GIP GERAILP, Arcueil, France
[2]LIMATB, Université de Bretagne Sud, Lorient, France

Hybrid laser-MIG arc welding has very interesting advantages compared to laser welding or arc welding used separately. It is known that improvement of productivity results in higher welding speeds, thicker welded materials, joint fit-up allowance, better stability of molten pool, and ... Read More

Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach to Evaluate Electrostatic Precipitator Performance

M. Ahmadi [1]
[1] Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

Electrostatic precipitation is an extremely efficient way of filtering fine particles from the airstream. Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) can control airborne emission without significantly slowing down the rate of flow, because of the low pressure drop across this type of filters. A ... Read More

Reactive Transport Modeling of CO2 in Carbonate Rocks: Single Pore Model

P. Agrawal [1], J. Koskamp [1], A. Raoof [1], M. Wolthers [1],
[1] Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Dissolution of calcite plays an important role in various processes such as enhanced oil and gas recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater transport for the drinking water production. Dissolution rates predicted by pore scale and continuum scale models are often faster than the ... Read More
