In this article we present Simulations results of an evaporation reactor for optical layer applications. The thermal simulation concern the source of the evaporated material. An experimental problem is ralated to the shape of the material powder surface: due to the evaporation rate, the ... Read More
This study deals with the 3D modeling of a light photocatalytic textile. This process aims to decontaminate industrial effluents such as water with pesticides. The present study describes the implementation of a reactive transport model in a computational fluid dynamics model developed ... Read More
We consider the fluid dynamics problem of homogeneously filling a large tank by multiple inlets fed from a piping system. Suitable pipe geometries must be chosen so that the volume flow is constant for all inlets. In this work, we compare both for a piping system as depicted in fig. 1: A ... Read More
Plasma reactors can be applied to the conversion of waste, biomass and fuels to synthesis gas (mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide) with efficiencies as higher as 90-95% and low energy demand, depending on the design optimization. In this work, a multi-step approach was applied to the ... Read More
Non-thermal plasma, generated in atmospheric pressure discharges, has been investigated in our laboratory in order to treat highly diluted (300 ppm to 1000 ppm) volatile pollutant. The collision of electrons created in the discharge with atmospheric air, leads to the formation of ... Read More
Activated carbon filtration has proven to be a reliable method to clean indoor air. In such a system, air, contaminated with VOCs, is led through the filter where the contaminants are adsorbed onto the filter. However, for the long term stability of the air purification system, it is ... Read More
The annular reactor is a very useful design to carry many chemical reactions. In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to study the isothermal mass transfer from the inner side of the outer tube of the annular reactor in the range of 200 Read More
Engineering design studies of the feasibility of conversion of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) from high-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium fuel are ongoing at ORNL as part of an effort sponsored by the U.S. Global Threat Reduction Initiative program. HFIR is a very high flux, ... Read More
Sintering is an essential process in the consolidation of powdered materials, enabling the transformation of compacted powders into dense, solid structures through controlled heating and atmosphere. Operating below the melting point of the base material, without any forces applied for a ... Read More
Low temperature fuel cells require hydrogen of high purity for electricity production to avoid catalyst poisoning. To purify hydrogenrich flue gases from hydrocarbon steam reforming membrane shift reactors with a metal membranes may be utilized. A model of a tubular membrane shift ... Read More
