In-Situ Scale Inhibitor Interaction with Surface Area of Porous Sandpack: A Numerical Approach.
ABSTRACT: Over the years, the most common method of preventing scale formation and blockage of formation pores in oil and gas systems is by squeezing of chemicals into the formation. Different experimental and simulation studies have been carried out to understand the interaction of the ... Read More
An approach to verify the water transport model in organic coatings
The protection of metal surfaces against corrosion is commonly achieved by the application of organic coatings. A dedicated evaluation of those coating systems is strictly necessary before putting them into service. While outdoor test programs are time intensive and accelerated corrosion ... Read More
Modelling swellable Microneedles for transdermal drug delivery
Swellable microneedles (SMN) have gained a lot of attention to the transport of drugs in the skin. Microneedle swells by absorbing interstitial fluid, causing the loaded drug to transport into the skin without polymer dissolution which reduces the chance of infection and skin irritation. ...

Reactive Transport Modelling In Active Clays Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
The study of the movement of solutes and their interaction with the solid phase of active clays is a problem of maximum interest in various geoenvironmental engineering applications, but especially in the deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other highly radioactive ... Read More
ENGINEERING INTERCONNECTED-CHANNEL MONOLITHIC REACTORS: FROM COMSOL TO 3D PRINTING
Three-dimensional (3D) printed 0.52 wt.% Fe/SiC monoliths with interconnected channels, fabricated by direct ink printing or Robocasting, are feasible and robust catalysts for the hydroxylation of phenol to dihydroxybenzenes using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in aqueous media [1]. ... Read More
Shadowing Effects of Monofunctional Catalysts in TAP Reactors
Industrial catalytic processes require tailored catalysts with an optimized performance to reduce energy consumption and waste products. Besides an optimum temperature, pressure, and composition, the distribution of active material can be seen as a valuable additional design variable. ... Read More
Multiphysics Simulation of the Swelling Kinetics of pH-Responsive Anionic Hydrogels
pH-responsive hydrogels have over the years drawn research interest in applications such as microfluidic control and separation, chemo-mechanical sensing systems and controlled drug delivery, owing to their ability to undergo significant volume changes in response to changes in pH of the ...

An alternative equation-based model in COMSOL Multiphysics® for bentonite re-saturation
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in designs for radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydraulic-mechanically coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based on two-phase flow and a ... Read More
Strong multiphysics coupling towards simulation of edible oil hydrogenation in monolith type reactor
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
Nanoscale heat transport model for microelectronic device design
Heat management has became a bottleneck in electronic engineering because of the large amount of energy released by current devices due to its extreme level of miniaturization [1]. This is a very important limitation to achieve, for example, terahertz clock-rates in computing and it is ... Read More
