In this paper, a system for efficient removal of carbon dioxide by hollow fiber membranes is proposed. The system is compact, and it is very useful for application in the offshore energy industries. In particular, it is used to removing CO2 from the exhaust of power generation facilities on offshore platforms.The proposed dual membrane contactor contains two types of membranes (polypropylene me...

The physical habitat that controls ecosystem functioning is determined by local hydraulics and channel morphology. Hydraulic field studies were conducted in a boreal stream 1) to test the hypothesis that the local hydraulic conditions are determined by cross-sectional geometry and flow resistance in boreal conditions by analysing the relationship between flow velocities, cross-sectional geometr...

This paper describes features in the structure of a laminar vortex ring ejected vertically from an elevated pipe into a uniform horizontal cross flow. Measurements are obtained by particleimage velocimetry (PIV) and flow-visualisation images are obtained by planar-laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). Cross flow produces a shear layer over the open end of the elevated pipe. As a vortex ring is eje...
