This thesis presents work performed to model and measure the effect of run-out table cooling on a thick walled X70 steel. During run-out table cooling, the steel undergoes several phase transformations that will affect its microstructure, and thus, its mechanical properties. To predict the steel...

Loading vitrifiable concentrations of cryoprotective agents is an important step for cryopreservation of biological tissues by vitrification for research and transplantation purposes. This may be done by immersing the tissue in a cryoprotective agent (CPA) solution, and increasing the...

Abstract In this study a complete solution methodology is developed for the simulation of hydrocyclones. A commercial software package, Ansys 12 Fluid Dynamics (Fluent), is used to solve the governing conservation equations. Turbulence is modelled using the large eddy simulation, and the...

Kidneys are essential organs located on either side of the vertebral column which perform several essential bodily functions. When there is a gradual, permanent loss of basic kidney functions, a person is said to have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD has been identified to be a global public...

In the steam methane reforming process, improvement of the reformed gas outlet temperature control performance can lead to a larger hydrogen production rate, while ensuring safe process operation. In this work, a side fired primary gas reformer is investigated. The three objectives of this work...

Modelling of solvent extraction was studied using 1,2,3,4–tetrahydronaphtalene (tetralin) and Poplar coal (lignite). A kinetic model was developed taking into account temperature, mass transfer limitations and dominating events (physical or chemical) during coal liquefaction. It was found there...

The finite element method (FEM) and finite element analysis (FEA) are numerical techniques to solve partial differential and ordinary differential equations. They are widely used in engineering, physics, and other fields. The development of these FEM and FEA makes it possible to accurately...

As complex fluids such as heavy oil or bitumen pass from the field to process units, structural and compositional changes occur that are intimately linked with pressure (P), temperature (T), and shear histories. In this exploratory work, a modified Structural Kinetics Model is used to calculate...
