Emily Nelson received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. She is a senior research engineer at NASA Glenn Research Center and specializes in the formulation and solution of problems in microgravity science, multiphase flow, porous media, risk ... Read More
Whilst initially developed as a diagnostic aid to improve echogenicity in ultrasound imaging, gas-filled lipid microbubbles are now emerging as a next generation \'theranostic\' tool in the medical arena. Here, their therapeutic potential has now been realized through their unique ... Read More
The objective of this study is to determine the locations where liquid water accumulates at cathode gas flow channels, and the corresponding operating conditions. In such way it is possible to mitigate slug flow, responsible for channel blockage and hindering the diffusion of reactants ... Read More
Different phenomena control the performance and even selectivity in multiphase reactors. Moreover, a two way coupling between the physics could be expected when physical and/or chemical properties depend on the conversion rate. Hence, this presentation aims to show a methodology to model ... Read More
A large variety of applications in environmental, petroleum and chemical engineering involve multiphase flow. Examples include fluid flow in presence of bubbles/droplets, phase separation of immiscible fluids and wetting phenomena. Multiphase flow is characterised by the presence of an ... Read More
A laboratory-scale fluorine reactor was simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics®. This model employs fundamental fully coupled electron-, heat-, mass- and momentum transfer (two-phase) equations to deliver a transient model of the above-mentioned reactor. Quasi-steady-state results were ... Read More
Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) is viewed as a viable option to reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. In particular, CO2 injection into deep saline formations (DSF) has been the subject of numerous investigations during the last decade, including pilot and demonstration projects [Reiner ... Read More
Injection molding is one of the most diffused processes for mass production of polymeric components. It is adopted in many fields, from the automotive one to the biomedical field. The aspects related to environmental pollution make mandatory the reduction of plastic wastes, especially ... Read More
Microphysiological systems (MPS) combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic human organ function in vitro. Such devices are being developed to provide better levels of tissue and organ functionality compared with conventional cell culture systems, and have great ... Read More
The nanofluid is a class of fluids with high thermal conductivity and non-Newtonian flow behaviors. In this work, we present numerical simulations of spreading characteristics for nanofluids droplet impinging on the solid surface which is of great importance in a number of applications ... Read More
