Comprehensive optimization of the dispersion of mixing particles in an inert-particle spouted-bed reactor (Ipsbr) system
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Effective gas dispersion and liquid mixing are significant parameters in the design of an inert-particle spouted-bed reactor (IPSBR) system. Solid particles can be used to ensure good mixing and an efficient rate of mass ...
Design and thermo-economic evaluation of an integrated concentrated solar power – Desalination tri-generation system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly available direct normal irradiance can ...
Influence of graphite feedstock on the characteristics of silver-decorated graphene oxide and antimicrobial property
(
Chulalognkorn University
, 2021 , Article)
Graphite from different sources has significant influence on the properties of graphene oxide (GO) and reactivity of GO towards further modification with other nanoparticles. However, such effect has not yet been properly ...
A universal transportation model for reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This paper presents a new transport model for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, which combines irreversible thermodynamics, together with solution-diffusion theory. The simplifications adopted by the classical theory for ...
Cascaded design of desalination systems: A graphical approach
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
A graphical technique to design staged desalination systems is introduced in this work by utilizing the concept of composite curves. Material recycle networks (MRNs), which are very popular graphical tools, also rely on ...
Optimizing network pathways of CO2 conversion processes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has gained great attraction as an alternative route of producing carbon-based chemicals, which also mitigates atmospheric CO2. This paper develops a numerical optimization model that ...
The emergence of multifunctional adsorbents and their role in environmental remediation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Water pollution is a growing issue which requires various treatment technologies for efficient and effective remediation. Adsorption is one of the dominant wastewater treatment technologies due to its flexible operation ...
Impact of aluminium acetate particles size on the gelation kinetics of polyacrylamide-based gels: Rheological and molecular simulation study
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
Inorganically crosslinked polymers have been intensively implemented for conformance control treatments in oil and gas wells at low temperatures (<90°C) because of their faster gelation time compared to organically crosslinked ...
Influence of natural gas composition on adsorption in calcite Nanopores: A DFT study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Density functional theory is used to study the adsorption of natural gas components in calcite (10.4) cylindrical nanopores with 1–4 nm diameters. The change of adsorption energy with the diameter of the nanopores is studied ...
Settling behavior of fine cuttings in fiber-containing polyanionic fluids for drilling and hole cleaning application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
For efficient drilling operations, cuttings transport within the oil and gas wellbore is fundamental. Inadequate hole cleaning results in many problems including reduced rate of penetration, increased torque, bit wearing, ...
