In this work, numerical and experimental analyses of a double-pipe heat exchanger with SiO2 nanoparticles were performed. The study was conducted by using the k-e turbulence model Galerkin weighted residual finite element method. nanofluid used in inner pipe at various solid particle volume fractions. Effects flow rate temperature on overall transfer coefficient examined. Brownian motion effect...

Oxygen gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient was measured in a gas-induced pulsating flow bubble column. Pulsating amplitude had a great influence on kla under pulsating state of equal base flow and pulsating flow, which was enhanced up to 30 % compared with that under steady state; however, it had a negative effect on mass transfer under a fixed low base flow. It was also found that kla had a n...

The performance of airlift bioreactors are closely related with their geometry, especially the gas-liquid separator design. In this study, the influence of the gas-liquid separator geometry on oxygen transfer and gas hold-up was evaluated in 10-L concentric-tube airlift bioreactor operating with distilled water and xanthan gum solution. The specific airflow rate (ɸAIR) exhibited the higher effe...

The gas–liquid hydrodynamics and mass transfer were studied in a concentric tube internal jet-loop airlift reactor with conical bottom. Comparing standard design, the gas separator was equipped an adjustable deflector placed above riser. effect of riser superficial velocity uSGR on total holdup ?GT, homogenization time tH, overall volumetric liquid-phase coefficient kLa investigated laboratory ...

in this work, the adsorption of carbon dioxide from model flue gas on different adsorbents has been investigated. using simplified modeling, parameters such as the total mass transfer coefficient and the effective diffusivity have been determined. experiments were carried out in two sections: firstly, adsorption of pure carbon dioxide on different adsorbents was measured at pressures ranging fr...

The study presented in this article involves the estimation of the overall heat transfer coefficient of cooling system in RF capacitive hyperthermia treatment using inverse problem based on the conjugate gradient method to provide improved distribution of temperature. The temperature data computed numerically from the direct problem using the finite difference time domain method are used to sim...

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of oxygen limitation on whole­ cell oxygenases, and to determine how the physiochemical properties of oils affect their ability to enhance the oxygen transfer rate. Whole-cell oxygenase biocatalysts require oxygen as a substrate for the reaction and for the electron transport chain. The productivity of these bioconversions is therefore influenc...
