bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. high mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

The mass transport, accompanied by chemical reaction through membrane reactor has been investigated in the case of varying diffusion coefficient and solubility coefficient. In the reality, both parameters might depend on the concentration and/or on the inhomogeneity of the membrane layer. General mathematical models were developed to describe the mass transport, taking into account the external...

the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

We present results on the migration of silica colloids through laboratory columns packed with partially saturated quartz sand. The transport of the silica colloids responds to changes in the steady-state volumetric moisture content (theta) and for low theta depends on the wetting history of the sand pack prior to colloid injection. A mathematical model that incorporates a first-order rate law t...

Danckwert's method was used to determine the specific interfacial area, a, and the individual mass transfer coefficient, k(L), during absorption of CO(2) in a bubble column with an anionic surfactant in the carbonate-bicarbonate buffer solution and NaAsO(2) as catalyst, the presence of which decreases the specific interfacial area and the individual mass transfer coefficient. The specific inter...
