nowadays, with the industry development, a lot of waste is produced damaging the environment. among wastewater treatment methods, anaerobic techniques have been highly regarded due to numerous advantages. in anaerobic systems, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) reactor has many features. in this study using computational fluid dynamics techniques, three-phase reactor hydrodynamics in two an...

A semi-analytical investigation has been carried out to analyze unsteady MHD second-grade flow under the Dual-Phase-Lag (DPL) heat and mass transfer model in a vertical microchannel filled with porous material. Diffusion thermo (Dufour) effects and homogenous chemical reaction are considered as well. The governing partial differential equations are solved by using the Laplace transform method w...

objective(s): one applications of nanotechnology is in the area of medicine which is called nanomedicine. primary instruments in nanomedicine can help us to detect diseases and used for drug delivery to inaccessible areas of human tissues. an important issue in simulating the motion of nanoparticles is modeling blood flow as a newtonian or non-newtonian fluid. sometimes blood flow is simulated ...

in oil industry, spontaneous imbibition is an important phenomenon in recovery from fractured reservoirs which can be defined as spontaneous uptake of a wetting fluid into a porous solid. spontaneous imbibition involves both cocurrent and countercurrent flows. when a matrix block is partially covered by water, oil recovery is dominated by cocurrent imbibition i.e. the production of non wetting ...
