This paper deals with the simulation study using COMSOL on the deformation of drop-within-drop system in a high intensity oscillating electric field. It consists of a composite drop suspended in a continuous phase. This composite drop has a smaller inner drop suspended within the larger ... En savoir plus

CO₂ geological storage can help to provide a “bridge” from a fossil-fuel dependent system to a more diversified energy portfolio. Pressure monitoring for an injection zone (IZ) and an above-zone monitoring interval (AZMI) has been under operation at a field-scale CO₂ injection site, ... En savoir plus

Technical advancements in miniaturization in the last decades have, among others, brought forth the technology of so called “Lab-on-a-Chip” (LOC) systems. These systems provide the possibility to automate and accelerate certain laboratory processes, e.g., biomedical diagnostics, on the ... En savoir plus

Water removal during paper and board manufacturing is an intensive energy process. The dewatering process generally consists of four stages wherein the last stage is comprised by thermal drying in where remaining water in fibres are evaporated on steam-heated cylinders. The thermal ... En savoir plus
