We propose a volume fraction based approach to effectively simulate the miscible and immiscible flows simultaneously. In this method, a volume fraction is introduced for each fluid component and the mutual interactions between different fluids are simulated by tracking the evolution of the volume fractions. Different techniques are employed to handle the miscible and immiscible interactions and...

Flash point is the most important variable used to characterize fire and explosion hazard of liquids. Herein, partially miscible mixtures are presented within the context of liquid-liquid extraction processes. This paper describes development of a model for predicting the flash point of binary partially miscible mixtures of flammable solvents. To confirm the predictive efficacy of the derived f...

The applicability of time-temperature superposition of dynamic mechanical data for miscible polymer blends that exhibit strong intermolecular interactions was investigated. Blends of the lithium salt of lightly sulfonated polystyrene ionomers (Li-SPS), 9-12mol% sulfonation, and N-methylated nylon-2,lO (mPA) were miscible over the composition range studied, 30-70 wt% ionomer. Time-temperature su...

The measurement of the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is one of the most important steps in the project design of miscible gas injection for which several experimental and modeling methods have been proposed. On the other hand, the standard procedure for compositional studies of miscible gas injection process is the regression of EOS to the conventional PVT tests. Moreover, this procedure d...

Enzymatic synthesis of oligopeptides from l-phenylalanine ethyl ester hydrochloride (l-Phe-Et.HCl) and other l-form hydrophobic amino acid ester hydrochlorides in water miscible organic cosolvents was studied. Different proteases, water miscible cosolvents, and effect of different ratios of water miscible cosolvents for protease-catalyzed oligo-phenylalanine [oligo(l-Phe)] were compared. The im...
