Analiza sposobów modelowania reaktora trójfazowego ze stałym złożem (TBR) z użyciem metod CFD

2018

Przedstawiono zagadnienia związane z zastosowaniem modelu wielofazowego Eulera do modelowania reaktora trójfazowego ze złożem stacjonarnym (TBR). Analizując równania modelu wyselekcjonowano parametry, które obliczane są w oparciu o dane dostępne w literaturze, a następnie przeprowadzono analizę czułości modelu na zmianę wartości wyselekcjonowanych parametrów. Przeanalizowano wpływ zmian zależności opisujących siły wzajemnych oddziaływań pomiędzy fazami oraz promieniowej zmiany porowatości wypełnienia na wyniki obliczeń numerycznych.

Application of computational fluid dynamics technique in electrodialysis/reverse electrodialysis processes

2022

This Chapter treats the application of CFD technique in ED/RED processes. CFD simulations are able to predict flow and mass transfer in channels filled with spacers or membrane profiles, by providing dimensionless correlations useful for process models. At a larger scale, manifolds of the stack and inlet/ outlet zones of the channel can be simulated. Numerical models can include the computation of the electrical potential, thus characterizing the process performance. Direct numerical simulations can elucidate the complex phenomenology of overlimiting transport and of chaotic electrokinetic flows.

ANALYSIS OF THE TRADITIONAL PASSIVE SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF CFD SOFTWARE

2012

The need to reduce energy consumption is pushing the building design research to the evaluation of passive conditioning systems, since urban buildings are one of the major energy dissipater resulting in emission of CO2. This approach is not modern, but it is historically rooted in the architectural culture of the Mediterranean area and in the Middle East. The passive systems have ancient origins: they were developed to mitigate the summer heat and the winter cold. To understand the reasons that led to the development of passive systems, it should be remembered that about One-Fifth of the emerged planet surface and One-Third of the world's population live in conditions of warm-dry or hot-hum…

Computational study of the thermal-hydraulic behaviour of the DEMO Divertor cooling system

Clinical Potential of Circulating Cell-Free DNA (cfDNA) for Longitudinally Monitoring Clinical Outcomes in the First-Line Setting of Non-Small-Cell L…

Background: Despite the increasing implementation of targeted and immunotherapy-based treatments, the prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC remains dismal. We prospectively evaluated longitudinal plasma cfDNA kinetics as an early marker of therapeutic efficacy in patients with advanced NSCLC undergoing standard first-line treatments. Methods: From February 2020 to May 2022, treatment-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC were consecutively enrolled at the Medical Oncology Unit of the Paolo Giaccone University Hospital, Palermo (Italy). We quantified cfDNA in terms of ng/μL using a QubitTM dsDNA HS Assay Kit. The agreement between the cfDNA and radiologic response was evaluated from…

Contribution to thermal behaviour study of lithium-ion battery for electric and hybrid electric vehicle

2014

The main objectives of this study are to provide the essential information on the thermal behaviour of the battery cells for automotive purpose especially for EVs and HEVs through experimental work in order to develop an effective 3D electro-thermal model for lithium ion battery cells and pack. The experimental study is focusing on the distribution of temperature at various points of the battery cell surface, impact of different constant discharge rates, and also the importance of cooling system on the battery temperature behaviour. This thesis highlights the battery cell temperature under abuse discharge condition and the impact of stacking the battery cells inside the battery pack. Impact…
