The low-temperature electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to ethylene offers significant potential for reducing the chemical industry’s reliance on fossil fuels. Despite recent advancements, the key performance indicators—activity, selectivity, and durability—are insufficient for industrial ... En savoir plus

The chemisorption and absorption of CO2 bubbles have been extensively studied and modeled in literature. CO2 gas is converted into aqueous CO2, which produces OH-, HCO3- and CO32- - ions in the solution. In this study, a 3D CO2 bubble column is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics, ... En savoir plus

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising energy converters, offering both sustainability and efficiency. Achieving optimal performance, however, requires a deep understanding of the underlying cause-effect relationships within the functional layers. One effective ... En savoir plus

Biopreservation deals with the protection and storage of complex biologics such as proteins, lipids, and recently, mammalian cells. One preservation method, known as lyopreservation, involves placing a biologic inside a water droplet with some type of sugar excipient (sucrose, trehalose, ... En savoir plus

This study investigates the effect of uniform magnetic field on the deformation of a ferrofluid droplet in a two dimensional (2D) simple shear flow by means of numerical simulation. The magnetic field is applied in a perpendicular direction to the flow direction. A numerical scheme ... En savoir plus

Drying of biomaterials such as foodstuffs involves mass, momentum and energy transport along with large shrinkage of the porous material, which have significant effects on their final quality. Foodstuffs exhibit non-linearity when undergoing large deformations that affect the transport ... En savoir plus

A continuum, porous medium formulation with non-equilibrium sublimation was developed and validated for freeze drying without and with uniform microwave volumetric heating. The model incorporates the effect of Knudsen flow at low pressure and low permeability freeze drying. The ... En savoir plus

Geologic carbon storage that involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into a subsurface sequestration site provides the vital approach for reducing CO2 emissions into atmosphere and thus addressing climate change issue. One challenge associated with CO2 geologic storage is that pore ... En savoir plus

We have chosen droplet-based microfluidics as a platform for single cell analysis using the encapsulation technique. For this, we study the water in oil droplets formation inside a 2D microfluidic flow focusing geometry designed. We have performed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) ... En savoir plus

Impact of human activities on the climate is evident, and the recent anthropogenic production and discharge of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is highest in history. The current climate change have had worldwide influence on human and natural systems for example; global warming, ... En savoir plus
