P.sudhakar,[email protected] Abstract Circulating fluidized bed reactors are widely applied in industry for power generation in boilers and gasifier. Computational Fluid dynamics modeling of hydrodynamics and heat transfer can be an effe...

In this work, extraction of propionic acid from the aqueous phase to the organic phase (1-octanol) was performed in T-junction microchannels and effects of channel diameter and fluid flow rate on the mass transfer characteristics were investigated. The two-phase flow patterns in studied microchannels with 0.4 and 0.8 mm diameters were observed. Weber ‎ number and surface-to-volume ratio were ca...

We experimentally study the viscous fingering instability in a fluid-fluid phase separated colloid-polymer mixture by means of laser scanning confocal microscopy and microfluidics. We focus on three aspects of the instability. (i) The interface between the two demixed phases has an ultralow surface tension, such that we can address the role of thermal interface fluctuations. (ii) We image the i...

Phase transformation affects multiphase flow in geothermal and gas-condensate reservoirs due to the same substance occurring in different phases. These effects change the phase behavior and the flow characteristics. The goals of this research were to compare the flow behavior and relative permeabilities difference between two-phase flow with and without phase transformation effects in smooth-wa...

in this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. using mri images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. csf velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., icp, which has a...

Amanda L. Dye: Analysis of Two-Fluid-Phase Porous Medium Systems Using Microscale Experiments and Lattice Boltzmann Modeling (Under the direction of Cass T. Miller) Modeling two-fluid-phase flow in porous medium systems requires the specification of closure relations to produce a solvable system. The thermodynamically constrained averaging theory (TCAT) has been used to formulate a closed model...
