supersonic separators have found extensive applications in dehumidification of natural gases since 2003. unlike previous studies, which have investigated the inlet conditions and nozzle geometry of supersonic separators for pure fluids, the present study employed a combination of momentum, heat, and mass transfer equations along with virial equation of state (eos) to inspect the effect of inlet...

Supersonic separators have found extensive applications in dehumidification of natural gases since 2003.

In this work, we optimise microfluidic converging/diverging geometries in order to produce constant strain-rates along the centreline of the flow, for performing studies under homogeneous extension. The design is examined for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional flows where the effects of aspect ratio and dimensionless contraction length are investigated. Initially, pressure driven flows ...

In this study the wetting behavior of converging-diverging and diverging-converging capillaries is investigated numerically using an in-house written, finite-element code. An interface tracking procedure based on the predicted change in the total liquid volume, to update the interface location, and Cox's formulation, to determine the dynamic contact angle and the interface shape, is proposed an...

Reports and Memoranda No. 332±* t February, z96z Summary. Apparatus is described for the measurement of shock attenuation.in channels of several configurations. A circular-bore channel, a square-bore channel and converging and diverging channels have been investigated. Measurements of hot-flow duration and wall pressure variations in the shock tube have also been made. It is concluded that conv...

A mathematical model is developed for viscous slip flow and heat transfer in water/Ethylene glycol-based nanofluids containing metallic oxide nanoparticles, through a converging/diverging channel. We adopt the single-phase Tiwari–Das model. The governing equations are transformed to set of similarity differential with help transformation, before being solved numerically using Maple 20. Validati...
