Impacts of flow velocity and microbubbles on water flushing in a horizontal pipeline
Mohammadhossein Golchin, Siyu Chen, Shubham Sharma +5
Water flushing to remove particle sediment is essential for safe and continuous transport of many industrial slurries through pipelines. An efficient flushing strategy may reduce w…
Size distribution of primary submicron particles and larger aggregates in solvent induced asphaltene precipitation
Jia Meng, Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Mohsen Sadeghi +4
Asphaltene precipitation is a crucial phase separation phenomenon in the oil industry, especially in paraffinic froth treatment to extract bitumen from oil sands ores. This work re…
Dendrite fragmentation by catastrophic elastic remelting
S. Ananiev, P. Nikrityuk, K. Eckert
The paper proposes a new fragmentation mechanism of dendrite arms. The theoretical basis of this mechanism is a shift in the thermodynamical equilibrium at the solid-liquid interfa…
Numerical study of the influence of an applied electrical potential on the solidification of a binary metal alloy
P. A. Nikrityuk, K. Eckert, R. Grundmann
In this work we study numerically the influence of a homogeneous electrical field on the fluid and heat transfer phenomena at macroscale and mesoscale during unidirectional solidif…
