Experimental and CFD scale-up studies for intensified actinide/lanthanide separations

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Experimental Studies and Cfd Calculations for Buoyancy Driven Mixing Phenomena

Buoyancy driven flow is found in many engineering application such as the mixing of fluids with different densities. In nuclear reactor safety the mixing of borated and deborated water is a critical issue that needs investigation, assessment and prediction. As nuclear reactor geometries are complex, in this study a simple vertical mixing test facility (VeMix) was used to validate numerical mode...

Experimental and CFD Studies on the Effect of the Jet Position on Mixing Performance

A Scale-up Design Procedure for Rotating Biological Contactors

A scale-up design procedure, based on a new physical mass transfer (PMT) model, whichdescribes the performance, for aerobic rotating biological contactors (RBC’s) is developed. This scale-up procedure can be used to determine the disc surface area needed to prevent an oxygen limitation or to obtain a specific degree of treatment. In contrast to the empirical, and most previous RBC performance m...

Scale-up Strategies for Membrane-Based Desalination Processes: A Review

Membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. Indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...
