Simulation of Mass Transfer in a Microfluidic Experiment Using the Moving Mesh Method

K. Weisbrod[1], R. Roberts[1], R. Chamberlin[1], S. Yarbro[1]
[1]Los Alamos National Lab, Los Alamos, NM, USA

Multiphase flow in a microreactor was studied numerically for two immiscible liquids. Validation of the model was sought by simulating the flow behavior and mass transfer characteristics of a neutralization reaction described in the literature. Contact angles, interfacial tension and the ... Read More

Modeling of a Three Inputs Two-Dimensional Geometry Microreactor

E. Robalinho[1], E. Cekinski[2]
[1]IPEN/CNEN-SP, São Paulo, SP, Brazil; Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE, São Paulo, SP, Brazil
[2]Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia IMT, São Paulo, Brazil; IPT-SP, São Paulo, SP, Brazil

This paper presents the results of modeling of a microreactor with three inputs geometry (or crow's-feet), in relation to distributions of velocities and concentrations. The objective of this work is the study of this kind of geometry with relation to fluid dynamics behavior, improving ... Read More

Increasing Heat Transfer in Microchannels with Surface Acoustic Waves

S. Berry[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, MA, USA

In this numerical study, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are evaluated as a potential disruptive flow technology for enhancing heat transfer in microchannels. Using COMSOL Multiphysics® software, the physics governing acoustics, single-phase-fluid flow and heat transfer are coupled. The ... Read More

Blood Flow Patterns in a Patient Specific Right Coronary Artery with Multiple Stenoses

B. Liu[1]
[1]Department of Mathematics, Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ, USA

Atherosclerotic lesions preferentially develop in certain regions like bifurcations, branches, and bends [1, 2]. A possible explanation for such a preferential localization of atherosclerosis is that the geometry of the vessel influences the blood flow pattern. It suggests that the ... Read More

The Simulation of Electric Field Distribution in Electrospinning Process

Y. Zheng[1], B. Xin[2]
[1]Donghua University, Shanghai, China
[2]Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai, China

The electric field plays a very important role in the electrospinning process, which needs to be seriously considered in the electrospinning configuration developing. High voltage involved in electrospinning process leads to difficulty in measuring the electric field. Numerical ... Read More

Study of Supercritical Coal Fired Power Plant Dynamic Responses for Grid Code Compliance

A. Gil-Garcia[1], I. Kings[1], B. Al-Duri[1]
[1]University of Birmingham, School of Chemical Engineering, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK

In clean coal technologies, improving energy conversion efficiency is one of the most important directions. Compared to traditional subcritical power plants, pressure-increased supercritical power plants improve the plant energy efficiency from 35% up to 45%. This work presents a study ... Read More

Near-Wall Dynamics of Microbubbles in an Acoustical Trap

L. Wright[1], G. Memoli[1], P. Jones[2], E. Stride[3]
[1]National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK
[2]University College London, London, UK
[3]University of Oxford, Oxford, UK

Understanding the interactions between microbubbles and surfaces is key to the successful deployment of microbubbles in a range of applications. Two important examples are their use as a drug delivery mechanism, and their potential use of acoustically-driven bubbles as microscale ... Read More

Hydrodynamics of Lake Victoria: Vertically Integrated Flow Models in COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

S. Paul[1], R. Thunvik[1], D. D. Walakira[2], J. Mango[2], J. Oppelstrup[3], R. Wait[4]
[1]The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
[2]Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda
[3]COMSOL AB, Stockholm, Sweden
[4]Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden

Lake Victoria is the largest tropical lake in the world and is very important for environment and economy in East Africa. The hydrodynamic processes in the shallow (40-80 m deep) water system are unique due to its location at the equator which makes Coriolis effects noticeable also for ... Read More

An Overview of Impellers, Velocity Profile and Reactor Design

P. Patel[1], P. Vaidya[1], G. Singh[2]
[1]Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
[2]Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Faridabad, Haryana, India

This paper presents a simulation approach to develop a model for understanding the mixing phenomenon in a stirred vessel. The mixing in the vessel is important for effective chemical reaction, heat transfer, mass transfer and phase homogeneity. In some cases, it is very difficult to ... Read More

Network-of-Zones Model for Stirred Tank with Fractal Impeller

G.M. Mule[1], A.A. Kulkarni[1]
[1]CSIR - National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, Maharashtra, India

Stirred tanks are widely used in the pharmaceuticals, chemical and paint industries for variety of operations. The fractal impeller is an impeller having a novel design, developed by CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India. The power number of fractal impeller is relatively lower ... Read More
