Methanation in Catalytic Reactor

M. Schopfer¹, C. Nkoumou¹, D. Martinet¹, C. Ellert¹
¹University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais-Wallis), Sion, Valais, Switzerland

Power-to-gas is an important area of research for reducing greenhouse gases and seasonal energy storage. Methane, with a Lower Heating Value of 50 MJ/kg, is already a commonly used gas, and its synthesis using green hydrogen production (electrolysis of renewable energy) is a remarkable ... Read More

3D Modeling of Planar Discharge of a CO2 Laser

J. Schüttler [1],
[1] Rofin-Sinar Laser GmbH, Hamburg, Germany

High power CO2 lasers have been the workhorses for sheet metal cutting, welding and many more applications in materials processing during the past decades. Even though a significant replacement by fiber coupled lasers takes place, there are still many applications that benefit from the ... Read More

Spatially Patterned Architectures to Modulate CO2RR Cascade Catalysis Kinetics.

Marise Garcia-Batlle¹, Pablo Fernandez¹, Greg Parson², Jim Cahoon¹, Rene Lopez¹
¹University of Nort Carolina at Chapel Hill, 27599 North Carolina, USA
²North Carolina State University, 27599 North Carolina, USA

Artificial cascades for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to form value-added products are a developing technology, in which mass transport, reaction rates, local microenvironment and concentrations are all crucial parameters. These properties are highly dependent on the ... Read More

Reactive Transport Modeling of CO2 in Carbonate Rocks: Single Pore Model

P. Agrawal [1], J. Koskamp [1], A. Raoof [1], M. Wolthers [1],
[1] Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Dissolution of calcite plays an important role in various processes such as enhanced oil and gas recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater transport for the drinking water production. Dissolution rates predicted by pore scale and continuum scale models are often faster than the ... Read More

Unraveling the CO2 Diffusion Pathway in C3 Plants

H. N. C. Berghuijs [1], X. Yin [1], B. M. Nicolaï [2], P. C. Struik [1]
[1] Wageningen University and Research Centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands
[2] Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,Leuven, Belgium

Photosynthesis can be defined as the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy. In green plants, this applies to the conversion of CO2 into organic compounds. The energy stored in these compounds can later be used to supply energy to run physical and chemical processes in plant ... Read More

An Evaluation of CO2 Sequestration in Organic-Rich Shales Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

R. Barati [1], S. Cudjoe [1],
[1] University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA

Organic-rich shale resources remain an important source of hydrocarbons considering their substantial contribution to crude oil and natural gas production around the world. Moreover, as part of mitigating the greenhouse gas effects due to the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, ... Read More

Modeling of the Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 to Methanol in a Micro Flow Cell

Y. Kotb [1], S. K. Fateen [2], J. Albo [3], I. Ismail [1],
[1] Renewable Energy Engineering Program, University of Science and Technology, Zewail City, Giza, Egypt
[2] Department of Chemical Engineering, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt
[3] Department of Chemical Engineering, University of the Basque Country, Apdo. 644, Bilbao, Spain

Carbon dioxide levels are increasing faster than in hundreds of thousands of years due to fossil fuels burning. A serious worldwide interest is growing towards the field of CO2 valorization as a step in transitioning away from fossil fuel economy at the same time of decreasing CO2 ... Read More

Design and Analysis of CO2 Sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

S. B. Umbarkar[1], G. Y. Rajput[1], R. Vasappanavara[1],
[1] Department of Electronics Engineering, RAIT, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

In this paper, a carbon dioxide sensor is introduced. At present many CO2 sensors are available, but they all required power in the order of few watts, therefore they are not suitable for long term unattended operation. This paper gives the brief description of CO2 sensor modeling using ... Read More

Numerical Study of Flux Models for CO2 - Enhanced Natural Gas Recovery and Potential CO2 Storage in Shale Gas Reservoirs

N. Prajapati[1], P. L. Mills[1]
[1]Department of Chemical & Natural Gas Engineering, Texas A&M University, Kingsville, TX, USA

This work encompasses different physics involved in fluid flow in shale gas reservoir. Non-linear equations for fluid flow are solved with COMSOL Multiphysics® PDE module. It focuses on comparing the performance of various species transport flux models by accounting for inter-molecular ... Read More

Multi-Dimensional Adsorption Model of CO2/H2O Sorbent Bed

C. Gomez [1], R. F. Coker [1], J. Knox [1], G. Schunk [1]
[1] NASA MSFC, Huntsville, AL, USA

The primary interest of the VC (Vacuum Characterization) test is to experimentally characterize the adsorption and vacuum desorption of CO2 and water vapor of a pelletized sorbent bed in a large diameter column. The VC test article is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The aluminum canister is 3” ... Read More
