A MIXED WETTABILITY PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION MODEL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF WATER TRANSPORT IN PEMFC MATERIALS
DownloadFall 2013
Mateo Villanueva, Pedro Abdiel
Water management on proton exchange membrane fuel cells is one of the biggest issues that stop the effective commercialization of this promising technology. Due to water flooding, the performance of fuel cells decays rapidly at high current densities. To better design fuel cell electrodes, a...

Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Complex concentrated slurry flows in horizontal pipelines are widely seen in many industries for transportation of solid particles or process wastes. i.e., tailings. Slurry flows can occur in a turbulent regime, and the carrier fluid usually shows a non–Newtonian behavior. Understanding the flow...

Developing New Methodologies to the Simulation of Emulsion Mixtures with Transport of Particles in OpenFOAM
DownloadFall 2022
Sand separators are commonly equipped inline in the oil and gas production to separate produced sand from the extracted fluids, usually a mixture of oil, water and gas. To ensure the equipment can satisfy the work conditions, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used. However, the...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Particle Removal from Sand Bed Deposits in Horizontal Wells Using Turbulent Flow of Water and Polymer Fluids
DownloadFall 2017
Turbulent flow of water and polymer fluids over the sand bed deposits in horizontal annuli was studied using a large-scale flow loop equipped with particle image velocimetry (PIV) tool. Tests have been conducted to investigate the effects of near wall turbulence, fluid rheological characteristics...

Turbulence is a chaotic motion of fluid that can be described by the Navier--Stokes equations or even highly simplified shell models. Under the continuum limit, standard shell models of turbulence are shown to reduce to a common evolution equation that reproduces many predictions of the...
