Electrochemical Reactor Simulation for Metal Ion Removal under Mass Transport Controlled Conditions

In the present work modeling and design of packed bed electrochemical reactor operating under limiting current conditions has been accomplished. The conditions at which simulation model is made are: steady state, one-dimensional,flow-through operation.The considered reaction is copper deposition from an electrolyte solution containing copperic sulfate and sulfuric acid as a supporting electrolyte with the assumption of the absence of side reactions, the bed is packed with spherical particles.The effect of three parameters such that: electrolyte

STUDY OF HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPACT HEAT EXCHANGER DURING START UP

 Compact heat exchangers have been widely used in various applications in thermal fluid systems including automotive thermal management systems. Radiators for engine cooling systems, evaporators and condensers for HVAC systems, oil coolers, and intercooler which are typical examples of the compact heat exchangers that can be found in ground vehicles.

STUDY OF DRAG REDUCTION IN TURBULENT FLOW USING HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMERS

Drag reduction has been studied in a build-up closed loop water circulation system using two different types of polymers namely: carboxy methylcellulose CMC and Xanthan Gum, XG of molecular weight 0.4*106and 5.0*106g/mol respectively.The turbulent mode was produced via a positive displacement gear pump to avoid mechanical degradation of polymer chain during the experimented period.
