Segregation Behaviour of Particles in Gas Solid Fluidized Beds at Elevated Pressure
A comprehensive mathematical model based on the discrete particle model and computational fluid dynamics was utilized to investigate mixing and segregation of particles in fluidized beds at high pressure. To quantify the extent of mixing in the bed, the Lacey mixing index was used. Simulations were carried out with different mass fractions of small particles at various pressures ranging from 1 ...
متن کاملHome Network or Access Link? Locating Last-Mile Downstream Throughput Bottlenecks
As home networks see increasingly faster downstream throughput speeds, a natural question is whether users are benefiting from these faster speeds or simply facing performance bottlenecks in their own home networks. In this paper, we ask whether downstream throughput bottlenecks occur more frequently in their home networks or in their access ISPs. We identify lightweight metrics that can accura...
متن کاملExergy Analysis of an Air Dehumidification System Equipped with Mixing Box and Heat Exchanger Heat Recovery Units
Exergy analysis emboldens in cases that all the inefficiencies and bottlenecks to improve energy systems are to be addressed. In this study, a novel vapor compression air dehumidifier integrated with an auxiliary heat exchanger in series arrangement with the main condenser in order to mitigate the reheat coil, and an extra mixing box to recover the ventilated air heat has been introduced. A com...
متن کاملComputational Study of Radiative and Convective Heat Transfer in a Cylindrical Combustion Chamber
In this paper, the effect of cold air on the fluid flow inside the cylindrical combustion chamber and its wall temperature distribution have been studied computationally, taking into account the effect of radiative heat transfer from hot gases. The results have been compared with the case that radiative heat transfer was neglected. It is observed that the reattachment length increases when incr...
متن کاملNumerical Study on Low Reynolds Mixing ofT-Shaped Micro-Mixers with Obstacles
Micromixers are one of the most crucial components of Lab-On-a-Chip devices with the intention of mixing and dispersion of reagents like small molecules and particles. The challenge facing micromixers is typically insufficient mixing efficiency in basic designs, which results in longer microchannels. Therefore, it is desirable to increase mixing efficiency, in order to decrease mixing length, w...
