a two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous ziegler-natta olefin polymerization. a two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. the i...

intake system design as well as inlet ports and valves configuration is of paramount importance in the optimal performance of internal combustion engines. in the present study, the effect of inlet ports design is investigated on om-457la diesel engine by using a cfd analysis and the avl-fire code as well. a thermodynamic model of the whole engine equipped with a turbocharger and an intercooler ...

in this work, a direct design approach for designing a surface shape (inverse design problem) has been developed, in which both the target surface pressure and the unknown nodal coordinates appear explicitly in the formulations. the final discretized form of the governing equations (unified formulation) can be used for both analysis and shape design problems. in this work, shape design problems...

In the present study, a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian methodology is utilized for large eddy simulation (LES) of premixed fuel/air flow over a three-dimensional backward facing step (BFS). The fluid dynamic features are obtained by solving the Eulerian filtered compressible transport equations while the species are predicted by using the filtered mass density function method (FMDF).  Some scalar f...
