The time-dependent operation of methanol, ammonia, and urea production units embedded in a steel mill technical environment is analyzed with dynamic simulation models. From different process concepts and gas availability scenarios a set of simulation cases is defined with blast furnace ... Read More
Aboard the International Space Station, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere using a four-bed adsorptive separation process, referred to generally as a 4-Bed Molecular Sieve (4BMS). Experience with the current 4BMS design in space has led to a list of areas for improvement for a ... Read More
Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. The main greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are: Carbon dioxide (CO2). The use of fossil fuel is the primary source of CO2 [1, 2]. Accordingly, there is a need for an efficient and novel separation processes for removal of ... Read More
Impact of human activities on the climate is evident, and the recent anthropogenic production and discharge of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is highest in history. The current climate change have had worldwide influence on human and natural systems for example; global warming, ... Read More
In the present work, COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to solve a mass transfer based mathematical model (Stastova et al., 1996) which is a modified form of Sovova H.,1994 model. The modification has been brought about by introducing the term ‘Grinding efficiency’ in the model and ... Read More
This work describes the implementation with COMSOL Multiphysics® of a thermal simulation of a space environmental chamber, the SpaceQ chamber [1]. Space environment facilities are needed to simulate on Earth the expected performance of hardware and instrumentation that shall operate in ... Read More
In the construction sector the concrete and the steel bars represent still the key components, although they are very vulnerable by the atmospheric agents, as in the case of their degradation caused by corrosion. The study of the concrete carbonation, due to the CO2 which permeates the ... Read More
This paper shows the solution of mathematical model of supercritical fluid extraction process, given by Sovova H., 1994, through COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Sovova et al., 1994 used this model for the supercritical CO2 extraction of grape seed. Extraction was performed with different ... Read More
In the medium term, gas hydrate reservoirs in the subsea sediment are intended as deposits for carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel consumption. This idea is supported by the fact, that CO2 hydrates are more stable than methane hydrates at certain conditions. The potential of producing ... Read More
We investigate a prototype concept of a back-up electricity device where we use liquid formic acid (FA) to produce a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) which is used in a PEM fuel cell, Fig. 1. In the fluidized bed reactor the liquid FA is decomposed to a gaseous mixture ... Read More
