Simulation of Adsorption Mechanisms of Methane and Carbon Dioxide in Shale Matrix
The aim of this research is to contribute with the development of Carbon Capture and Storage techniques by studying carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption mechanisms in shale reservoirs. Gas desorption is considered a major gas production mechanism and has a relevant role in shale gas ... En savoir plus
Mathematical Modeling of Drug Transport in Brain Tumors
Blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers (BBB and BTB) constitute a major obstacle to the transport of therapeutics in brain tumors. Focused ultrasound (FUS), when combined with circulating microbubbles, provides a noninvasive method to locally and transiently disrupt the BBB/BTB. ... En savoir plus
Diffusive Transport in a Deep Geological Repository for Used Nuclear Fuel
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is developing a deep geological repository as part of Adaptive Phased Management (APM), Canada’s plan for the long-term management of used nuclear fuel. The repository is a multiple barrier system to protect people and the environment. To ... En savoir plus
A Microfluidic Platform for Electrochemical Concentration and Detection
A poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic platform with a hot-embossed microchannel, 150 mm wide and 20 mm deep, was developed for multiple purpose detection using electrochemical methods. This device is able to accommodate a three-electrode system encased in 1/16" diameter PEEK ... En savoir plus
Effects of Geometry and Operating Conditions on Membrane Reactor for Water Gas Shift Reaction
Recently, hydrogen is widely used as environmental energy and high energy content. The hydrogen is mainly produced by water gas shift reaction(WGSR) from coal to hydrogen process in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle(IGCC) plant. WGSR, well known for hydrogen production, is a ... En savoir plus
Urban Air Purification Using Semi-Active Photocatalysis
Photocatalysis has received considerable attention in recent years with a huge potential in air purification applications. This work focusses on the semi-passive use of photocatalytic surfaces in streets as an innovative method for removing anthropogenic pollutants (especially volatile ... En savoir plus
Methodology for Numerical Modeling of TSA Coated Corrosion Sample Coupons
The CROWN project is a collaboration between 8 partners (LIC Energy, TWI, EDF Energy, DONG Energy, ORE Catapult, Wilton Engineering, Universal Coating, Metallisation) that is born from the offshore wind (OW) industry interest in the potential of Thermally Sprayed Aluminium (TSA) as ...

3D Simulation of an Ethanol Reformer
In order to improve hydrogen production in an ethanol reformer it is needed to understand what happens inside it. Also, a simulated model can simulate different work conditions avoiding the necessity of doing tons of experiments. A 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation study of ... En savoir plus
Simulation of Auxin Accumulation and Transport in a Plant Root
Plant roots have an outstanding ability to grow in the direction of gravity or nutrients. Bending of the root tip in the preferred direction is achieved by asymmetric cell growth on the opposite sides of the root, dictated by asymmetrical distribution of the hormone auxin. Increase in ...

Oxygen Based Diffusion Modeling of Oxidation Behaviour of Encapsulated Lipids
Encapsulation is an established technique to protect sensitive materials from environmental factors such as oxygen and light. Nutritionally beneficial fatty acids like omega 3 fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation and are therefore encapsulated by drying an oil in water emulsion. It ... En savoir plus
