Acoustophoresis is a promising technology for the downstream processing of microalgae biorefineries(Zhang et al., 2025). By generating acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming, it enables precise manipulation of particles within an acoustic standing field of a microfluidic chip ... En savoir plus

This study presents a oil-gas two-phase linear flow EMH model using COMSOL Multiphysics simulator. Special attention is focused on reservoirs with characteristics for which steam injection is not attractive or feasible such as low permeability, thin-zone, and extra-heavy oil reservoirs. ...

Industrial applications of fluid mechanics can require to satisfy necessities as diverse as legal norms, optimization requirements and manufacturing constraints. Therefore a Computational Fluid Mechanics software often becomes a must in the development of new devices or the improvement ... En savoir plus

The flow morphology of two immiscible fluids in a microfluidic device finds numerous applications such as emulsification, synthesis of nanomaterials [1], lab-on-a-chip devices and biological analysis [2]. It offers many advantages over the conventional macroscopic devices because of its ... En savoir plus

One of the methods to recover oil from medium and low viscosity in complex reservoirs uses air injection leading to oil combustion. In this case the oxygen in the air burns the heavier components of the oil, generating a heat wave leading to vaporization of lighter components. In this ... En savoir plus

Conclusions about the influence of paper insulation on the electrical discharge initiation in mineral oil may be drawn on the basis of experimental studies. However, in some cases, these conclusions may be supported by electrical field analysis. Determination of maximum values of ... En savoir plus

A flow and transport model in porous media was implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate, analyze and interpret Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) processes at core scale under laboratory conditions. The flow model is biphasic and is based on the oil phase pressure ... En savoir plus

Voltage sensors are increasingly used for monitoring and load flow distribution. These sensors are safer, lighter in weight and lower in cost as compared to the conventional voltage transformers. The principal component of these sensors is high voltage resistors. The resistors have a ... En savoir plus

A small batch stirred cell which is operated at temperatures up to 400 °C and pressures up to 30 bar is used to study fouling behaviors of selected crude oils. COMSOL Multiphysics package is used for the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and heat transfer modeling for this stirred ... En savoir plus

Abstract In this work, the positive enhancing effect of conductive polyaniline (PANI) as an interfacial core-shell layer coated over a piezoelectrically active barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles on the output electro-elastic properties (relative dielectric constant, piezoelectric co ...
