Thermal Simulation Using COMSOL Application Builder for Oil-Air Transformer Bushings
Transformer bushings are power system equipment installed on transformers tank to connect overhead conductor & transformer leads. These Bushings at high voltages carry large currents leading to higher temperature & catastrophic failures. Whereas excess insulation further reduces ... En savoir plus
A Preliminary Design of a Hydrodynamic Microtrap for Capturing Aqueous Droplets in Oil Media
Droplet-based microfluidic systems are emerging as an ideal platform for the high-throughput screening of eukaryotic cells aimed to understand the complex, multidimensional, and dynamic biological processes [1]. Here, aqueous droplets – containing the eukaryotic cells – suspended in oil ... En savoir plus
A Black-Oil Model for Primary and Secondary Oil-Recovery in Stratified Petroleum Reservoirs
Black-oil simulators are commonly used in petroleum reservoir engineering for the prediction of oil production, especially during the earlier stages of oil-field exploitation, while also serving to guide pressure maintenance strategies in the longer term. Such models account for fluid ... En savoir plus
Strong multiphysics coupling towards simulation of edible oil hydrogenation in monolith type reactor
Different phenomena control the performance and even selectivity in multiphase reactors. Moreover, a two way coupling between the physics could be expected when physical and/or chemical properties depend on the conversion rate. Hence, this presentation aims to show a methodology to model ... En savoir plus
Simulation of Oil Sands Induction Heating Using Voltage-Driven Coils with Magnetic Core
The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ...

Computational Fluid Dynamic Modelling of the Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of Bio-Oil in Microreactors
Microreactors have gained popularity in fuel production industry. This is due to its high surface area to volume ratio, enhanced mass and heat transfer, short residence time and a more sustainable practice. The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction of 4-Propylguaiacol (4PG) to 4 ... En savoir plus
Finite element modelling of three-phase non-isothermal flow in heavy oil reservoirs- case study SAGD
Thermal enhanced oil recovery methods form the majority of the enhanced oil recovery projects worldwide. Among the thermal methods, steam injection is the most effective and most applied process in petroleum industry. The main mechanism of the steam injection method is the reduction of ...

Two-Dimensional COMSOL Simulation of Heavy-Oil Recovery by Electromagnetic Heating
Introducing heat to the formation has proven to be an effective way of lowering the oil viscosity of heavy oils by raising the temperature in the formation. The application of electrical energy has gained more interest during the last decade because it offers fewer restrictions for its ... En savoir plus
Modeling of Oil Spill Collection by Means of Devulcanised Crumb Rubber in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
In current work, diffusion processes of oil spills through a thin layer of porous composite materials based on crumb rubber are investigated. Model setup includes a concept of layer built of crumb rubber particles (and composite constituents) distributed on the solid surface, gradually ... En savoir plus
Development of an On-Line Wall-Fouling Sensor for Pipeline Transportation of Heavy Oil-Water Mixtures
A beneficial method for transporting highly viscous hydrocarbons (e.g. heavy oil and bitumen) through a pipeline is known as Lubricated Pipe Flow (LPF). A major challenge for this technology is flow instability caused by the formation of a wall-coating of oil or the thinning and/or loss ... En savoir plus
