We have performed constant energy and constant temperature equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of model liquids of water, methanol, and ethanol, and of the binary aqueous mixtures of the alcohols at mole fractions ...

In industrial plants and other types of dynamic systems, it is a common situation that measurements of primary system outputs are not available on-line. The primary outputs may for example be quality properties, that can ...

In this thesis, the impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln, is considered. Mathematical modelling and full-scale experiments at the Norcem cement works in Brevik, Norway, is the basis for ...

Gas explosions in a square channel have been investigated with a main focus on the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT). The gas mixtures were hydrogen and air at different concentrations. This work have been motivated ...

Experimental and computational studies of bubble behaviour in gas/solid fluidized beds have been performed. Bubble behaviour depends on particle density, particle size and size distribution and emphasis is given to study ...

This thesis is focusing on the durability of selected membrane materials when exposed to chlorine gas in the temperature range 30-100°C. Studies of the changes of membrane separation properties and the mechanisms promoting ...

In this thesis, gas explosions inside pipes are considered. Laboratory experiments and numerical simulations are the basis of the thesis. The target of the work was to study gas explosions in pipes and to develop numer- ...

The papers presented in the present study aim to elucidate the complex fluid dynamic phenomena in a cold dense phase fluidized bed reactor. Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted with this aim and several ...

Global warming and its impacts are serious and challenging international problems (Vitousek, 1994). Increasing fossil fuel consumption results in rising atmospheric greenhouse gas levels which enhances global warming ...
