One of the central puzzles concerning the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) fluid transport with bacterial biomass is the formation of filamentous structures called bacterial streamer. Bacterial streamers can be tethered at one or both ends to solid surfaces, while the rest of the...

High pressure carbon dioxide adsorption processes are employed in applications such as carbon dioxide capture and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption has gained wide attention because of the promising materials that are developed for this application....

Fixed beds are widely used in the chemical and process industry due to their simple yet effective performance. They find applications in heterogeneous catalysis (e.g., dry reforming of methane, methanol synthesis, etc.) and in adsorption (hydrogen from steam methane reforming, post-combustion CO2...

We study the evolution of chaotic mixing in an initially stratified circular vessel. The bottom and top halves of the vessel are filled with viscoplastic and Newtonian fluids. A circular stirrer in the vessel promotes the mixing. We considered three different viscosity ratios to understand the...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of mass transport in porous media of a PEM fuel cell
DownloadFall 2011
Porous media is an integral part of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. In this study, an experimental setup is presented to investigate convective and diffusive mass transport in porous media of fuel cell electrodes. A new theoretical model was developed in order to correct for...

Mass transfer at an organic solid – organic liquid interface within reservoir rock under creeping flow conditions
DownloadFall 2018
There is a growing recognition that knowledge gaps related to the molecular and phase state complexity of hydrocarbon resources, and their interactions within production and processing environments have begun impeding development of new or improved processes that protect the natural environment...
