A comparative study between electrical capacitance tomography and time-resolved X-ray tomography
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Modern day tomographs enable the research community to investigate the internal flow behaviour of a fluidized bed by non invasive methods that partially overcome the opaque nature of a dense bubbling bed. Each tomographic ... -
A nearest integer solution to the longest run of randomly generated words
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)How rare is the event of observing more than a certain number of consecutive and identical letters of any kind somewhere in a randomly generated word? No one can deny that the use of generating functions is crucial for ... -
A solution method for one-dimensional shallow water equations using flux limiter centered scheme for open Venturi channels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The one-dimensional shallow water equations were modified for a Venturi contraction and expansion in a rectangular open channel to achieve more accurate results than with the conventional one-dimensional shallow water ... -
A Study of Mass Transfer Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in (Monoethanolamine + Water) by Stirred Cell
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-05)The gas phase resistance in a stirred cell was investigated to understand and avoid its influence on the measurement of the reaction kinetics. To validate the influence of gas phase resistance and the experimental conditions ... -
A Study of the Effect of Relative Permeability and Residual Oil Saturation on Oil Recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)The depletion of oil production and the low recovery rate are the major challenges faced in oil production. Several studies have shown that considerable amount of oil still remains in the reservoir after the well shutdown. ... -
Absorption and Desorption Study of Alkylamine Promoted DEEA Solvents for CO2 Capture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Three primary and two secondary mono-alkylamines, and a di-alkylamine (3-(Methylamino)propylamine, MAPA) were investigated in blend with a tertiary amine (2-(Diethylamino)ethanol, DEEA). The aim of the study was to ... -
Air gasification of wood chips, wood pellets and grass pellets in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Gasification is an attractive method for biomass-to-energy conversion and fluidized bed design is one of the best options for large scale operation. A bubbling fluidized bed reactor was used to analyze the effects of biomass ... -
Algorithm with improved accuracy for real-time measurement of flow rate in open channel systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Most methods for flow rate measurement in open channels usually have low accuracy over a range of flow rates due to varying fluid properties, flow conditions and channel length. This paper suggests an algorithm to improve ... -
Ammonium as a Carbon-Free Electron and Proton Source in Microbial Electrosynthesis Processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biogas upgrading to biomethane with microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is receiving much attention due to increasing biomethane demands and surplus renewable energy. Research has demonstrated the feasibility of MES to increase ... -
An assessment of swinger techniques for the playground swing oscillatory motion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Much attention has been devoted to how playground swing amplitudes are built up by swinger techniques, i.e. body actions. However, very little attention has been given to the requirements that such swinger techniques place ... -
An experimental investigation of rapid boiling of CO2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-27)Storage of pressurized liquified gases is a growing safety concern in many industries. Knowledge of the thermodynamics and kinetics involved in the rapid depressurization and evaporation of such substances is key to the ... -
