Multiphase flow equations for two components (for instance water and hydrogen) phases (liquid gas), with equilibrium phase exchange, have been used to simulate the process of miscible displacement in porous media. Laboratory field studies shown that this assumption fails under certain circumstances especially accurate description pollution a finite transfer velocity, called here kinetics. We pr...

The transport phenomena of [Formula: see text] type reactive miscible front undergoing radial displacement in a porous medium are numerically investigated. For stable when the viscosity fluids A, B, and C is same, dependence various reaction characteristics on Damköhler number ( Da) analyzed. total rate found to be non-monotonic function time depending upon Da, while amount product follows temp...

For developing further uses of lipase as a biocatalyst, its hydrolytic activity toward some esters was investigated in a miscible solution composed of a buffer and a polar organic solvent. Twenty percent dimethylformamide, 35% dimethylsulfoxide, 15% 1,4-dioxane, 15% dimethoxyethane, and 2% diethoxyethane promoted the hydrolysis by a lipase from Rhizomucor miehei toward some hydrophobic substrat...

The effects of groundwater flow and biodegradation on the long-distance migration of petroleum-derived benzene in oil-bearing sedimentary basins are evaluated. Using an idealized basin representation, a coupled groundwater flow and heat transfer model computes the hydraulic head, stream function, and temperature in the basin. A coupled mass transport model simulates water washing of benzene fro...

In the present contribution, the pre-structuring of binary mixtures of hydrotropes and H2O is linked to the solubilisation of poorly water miscible compounds. We have chosen a series of short-chain alcohols as hydrotropes and benzyl alcohol, limonene and a hydrophobic azo-dye (Disperse Red 13) as organic compounds to be dissolved. A very weak pre-structuring is found for ethanol/H2O and 2-propa...

We consider dynamic scaling in gravity driven miscible viscous fingering. We prove rigorous one-sided bounds on bulk transport and coarsening in regimes of physical interest. The analysis relies on comparison with solutions to one-dimensional conservation laws, and new scale-invariant estimates. Our bounds on the size of the mixing layer are of two kinds: a naive bound that is sharp in the abse...
