Fall 2017
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....

Spring 2017
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...

Beyond Viscosity—How Density, Vibration and Interfacial Tension Affect Solvent Aided Bitumen Production
DownloadFall 2016
Bitumen and heavy oil comprise a significant percentage of proven oil reserves globally. The environmental impacts of producing these resources with current technologies is a concern for environmentalists, oil producing companies, resource rich jurisdictions and society at large. Dilution of the...

CFD Modelling of Bioprocesses: Integrating Mechanical Mixing, Aeration and Dynamic Rheology
DownloadFall 2021
Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...

CFD Study of the aerodynamic performance of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine in the wake of another turbine
Download2022-06-01
Belabes, Belkacem, Paraschivoiu, Marius
An increased interest in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) has been seen recently due to their ability to be placed closer together. Although individual vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have lower efficiency than horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), they may have a significant advantage...

Garmroodi, Mohammad Reza Daneshvar, Karimfazli, Ida
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...

Fall 2010
Electro-transmittance of molecular junctions was characterized electrically and studied optically at 410nm and 532nm. Between 1kHz and 100kHz there was no qualitative difference between the control samples and the molecular junction samples, however there were difficulties with reproducibility of...

Computational fluid dynamics investigation of bitumen residues in oil sands tailings transport in an industrial horizontal pipe
Download2023-01-01
Sontti, Somasekhara Goud, Sadeghi, Mohsen, Khou, Kaiyu, Zheng, Enzu, Zhang, Xuehua
Pipeline transport is commonly used in the oil sand industry to convey crushed oil sand ores and tailings. Bitumen residues in the oil sand tailings can be a threat to the environment that separating them from tailings before disposal is crucial. However, low bitumen concentration in the tailing...

Computer simulation and experimental characterization of a tubular micro- solid oxide fuel cell
DownloadSpring 2010
This work is focused on a state-of-the-art tubular micro-solid oxide fuel cell (TμSOFC), ~3 millimeters in diameter and ~300 microns thick, with Ni/YSZ and LSM/YSZ composite electrodes and a YSZ electrolyte. A 2D axi-symmetric, multi-scale CFD model is developed which includes the fluid flow,...
