Compositional grading within a mixture has a strong impact on the evaluation of the pre-exploitation distribution of hydrocarbons in underground layers and sediments. Thermodiffusion, which leads to a partial diffusive ...

The numerical and experimental results presented in this work show that a relatively small temperature gradient (5K), has great potential to generate a separation in interesting mixtures for biological purpose. In fact, ...

This paper presents numerical studies of thermophoresis approach for separation of nanoparticles in liquid media. We simulated the thermophoresis process to test it as a method of separation of particles in suspension. At ...

In the present work, an interferometric unsteady analysis of the thermogravitational technique was for the first time attempted in a paralelepipedic microcolumn using binary mixtures with negative Soret coefficients. In ...

This paper tackles the problem of industrial waste heat recovery through an unexploited heat transfer mechanism: thermal radiation. Energy intensive industries have a considerable potential of unused radiant heat, which ...

Wetting surface is a very important issue for the design of absorption applications and heat exchangers. The contact angle is deemed essential in wettability studies; However, LiBr aqueous solution contact angle studies ...

Microfluidic devices are poised to dramatically influence the future of the process industry. Therefore the understanding and proper evaluation of the flow and mixing behaviour at microscale becomes a very important issue. ...

A new analytical methodology has been developed to determine the diagonal and cross-diagonal molecular diffusion coefficients in ternary mixtures by the Sliding Symmetric Tubes technique. The analytical solution is tested ...

Steady-state measurements in a thermogravitational microcolumn using optical digital interferometry are presented here for the first time in the literature in the case of ternary mixtures. These measurements enabled the ...

This paper approaches the energy transition towards decarbonization and lower primary energy use in the steel and glass industries through the exploitation of radiant waste heat. In contrast with exhaust gases heat recovery, ...
