dense medium cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. it is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in dmcs complex. in this article the flow pattern simulation of dmc is performed with computational fluid dynamics and fluent...

the michelsen stability and multiphase flash calculation by direct minimization of gibbs free energy of the system at constant temperature and pressure, was used for systems containing gas hydrates. the solid hydrate phase was treated as a solid solution. the fugacities of all components of the hydrate phase were calculated as a function of compositions by the rearranged model of van der waals ...

In this study, a 3D multicomponent multiphase simulator with a new fracture characterization technique is developed to simulate the enhanced recovery of coalbed methane. In this new model, the diffusion source from the matrix is calculated using the traditional dual-continuum approach, while in the Darcy flow scale, the Discrete Fracture Model (DFM) is introduced to explicitly represent the flo...

the produced electric and magnetic fields due to lightning strikes to mountainous ground are determined in this paper. for the sake of simplicity a cone-shaped ground with finite conductivity is assumed to represent a natural nonflat ground. by this assumption, we deal with an axillary symmetrical structure so we use the cylindrical 2d-fdtd to save the simulation memory and time, dramatically. ...

Multiphase waterborne polymer particles provide advantages in more demanding applications, and their performance depends on particle morphology. Currently, no dynamic model for the prediction of the development of the morphology of multiphase latex particles is available. In this work, a model was developed for the prediction of the dynamic development of the morphology of multiphase waterborne...

A mathematical model study was carried out to investigate gasification of biomass fuels using high temperature air and steam as a gasifying agent using high-temperature air up to 1000°C. In this study, a 2D computational fluid dynamics model was developed to study the gasification process in an updraft gasifier, considering drying, pyrolysis, combustion, and gasification reactions. The gas and ...

This study aims to incorporate most recent multiphase models in order to investigate the hydrodynamic behaviour of a TBR in terms of pressure drop, liquid holdup and catalyst wetting efficiency. Taking into account transport phenomena such as mass and heat transfer, an Eulerian k-fluid model was developed resulting from the volume averaging of the continuity and momentum equations and solved fo...

Tracing by means of the light rare earths (REs), particularly La and Ce, is a state-of-the-art method used to track deoxidation products during steelmaking process. Traced heterogeneous multiphase inclusions are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) perform 2D characterization. The sequential chemical extraction technique implemented for 3D in...
