Liquid droplets have been studied for decades and have recently experienced renewed
attention as a simplified model for numerous fascinating physical phenomena occurring on …

Coaxial mixers are efficient in mixing of highly viscous fluids. The main objective of this study
was to assess the power consumption for the gas dispersion in carboxymethyl cellulose …

Drillpipe eccentricity is a common issue in horizontal drilling operations. The eccentricity is a
non-manipulative parameter by itself but its impact is a function of various parameters such …

Proppant transport in activated natural fractures and induced secondary fractures has been
increasingly receiving attention. However, the roughness and the non-planarity of hydraulic …

In this work droplet breakage in turbulent liquid–liquid dispersions is simulated by using
computational fluid dynamics and population balance modelling. Model predictions are …

The accuracy of the modelling of gas–liquid flows depends strongly on a suitable modelling
of the interfacial forces. Among these, drag is dominant. Most drag models reported in the …

Mixing in bioreactors is known to be crucial for achieving efficient mass and heat transfer,
both of which thereby impact not only growth of cells but also product quality. In a typical …

The combination of nanotechnology and microfluidics may offer an effective water and
wastewater treatment. A novel approach combines the use of magnetic particles which can …

Abstract A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model for the prediction of the flotation rate
constant in a standard Rushton turbine flotation tank was developed. The premise for the …

Optimal oxygen supply is vitally important for the cultivation of aerobically growing cells, as it
has a direct influence on cell growth and product formation. A process engineering …
