We report the use of a porous polytetrafluoroethylene capillary for the inline separation of liquid-liquid segmented flows, based on the selective wetting and permeation of the porous capillary walls by one of the liquids. Insertion of a narrow flow restriction at the capillary outlet allows the back pressure to be tuned for multiple liquid-liquid combinations and flow conditions. In this way, ...

Particles accumulated in a coupled acoustic-gravity field, in which the base-material of a particle determines the equilibrium aggregation positions, are eluted from a separation channel by an orthogonal laminar flow. Elution times are controllable by changing the intensity and frequency of the ultrasonic waves.

A novel rational description of incompressible two-dimensional time-mean turbulent boundary layer (BL) flow separating from a bluff body at an arbitrarily large globally formed Reynolds number, Re, is devised. Partly in contrast to and partly complementing previous approaches, it predicts a pronounced delay of massive separation as the turbulence intensity level increases. This is bounded from ...

Article history: Received 10 June 2014 Received in revised form 29 January 2015 Accepted 3 February 2015 Available online 7 February 2015 In this paper we investigate the instabilities arising in a flow through a compressor passage using BiGlobal stability analysis. The adopted geometry comes from the results of previous experimental and numerical investigations on a linear low-pressure (LP) co...

[1] The base flow recession constant, Kb, is used to characterize the interaction of groundwater and surface water systems. Estimation of Kb is critical in many studies including rainfall-runoff modeling, estimation of low flow statistics at ungaged locations, and base flow separation methods. The performance of several estimators of Kb are compared, including several new approaches which accou...

Steady hydromagnetic Couette flow of class-II of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium in a rotating system taking Hall current into account is investigated. Heat transfer characteristics of the fluid flow are considered taking viscous and Joule dissipations into account. It is noticed that there exists flow separation at the moving plate in the sec...

mobile carrier properties of two schiff base ligands, named bis(2-hydroxypropiophenone)-1,2-propanediimine (n2o2) and bis(1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone)-2,2'-diiminodiethylamine (n3o2), dissolved in dichloromethane for the extraction of copper(ii) ions from an ammonium buffer feed phase into a nitric acid solution (receiving phase) were investigated and compared. the parameters influencing the t...

The objective of current paper is 3D simulation of turbulent, developing flow and unsteady within a circular duct in presence of the body force vector persuaded by Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator inside the surface of geometry for the first time. This article aims at investigating of applying plasma actuator to control separation with special arrangement of electrodes. For th...
