Imaging of Chemical Kinetics at the Water–Water Interface in a Free-Flowing Liquid Flat-Jet

We present chemical kinetics measurements of the luminol oxidation chemiluminescence (CL) reaction at the interface between two aqueous solutions, using liquid jet technology. Free-flowing liquid microjets are a relatively recent development that have foun ...

Unsteady Flow Numerical Simulations on Internal Energy Dissipation for a Low-Head Centrifugal Pump at Part-Load Operating Conditions

François Avellan, Xiaoran Zhao

Dredge pumps are usually operated at part-load conditions, in which the low-solidity centrifugal impeller could experience large internal energy dissipation, related to flow separation and vortices. In this study, SST k- and SAS-SST turbulence models were ...

Mechanical energy budget and mixing efficiency for a radiatively heated ice-covered waterbody

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Ice-covered waterbodies are far from being quiescent systems. In this paper, we investigate ice-covered freshwater basins heated by solar radiation that penetrates across waters with temperatures below or near the temperature of maximum density. In this sc ...

Separation of magnetic microparticles in segmented flow using asymmetric splitting regimes

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia

A magnetic microparticle-based bioassay requires the separation of the microparticles from the sample matrix, after the microparticles have specifically captured the target of interest. For the implementation of such an assay in water-in-oil droplet segmen ...

Experimental Investigation of Pressure Fluctuations in a High-Energy Centrifugal Pump Stage at Off-Design Conditions

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Stefan Berten, Philippe Dupont

In centrifugal pumps, the interaction between the rotating impeller blades and the stationary diffuser vanes generates specific pressure fluctuation patterns. At off design operation, high incidence and large local pressure gradients can lead to flow separ ...

Heat Management for Process Intensification of Fast Exothermic Reactions in Microstructured Reactors

Julien Haber

Nowadays, the production in fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is mostly carried out in large scale batch reactors having typically dimensions of a few meters to satisfy the demand of the market. Even though this technology has been widely used and ...

Intensification of slow reversible chemical transformation: carboxylation of resorcinol as a case study

Lioubov Kiwi, Charline Berguerand, Anne-Laure Dessimoz

Conjugated kinetic and thermodynamic modeling is suggested as a suitable approach to identify a novel process window (NPW) for the intensification of slow reversible reactions. The aqueous Kolbe-Schmitt synthesis of beta-resorcylic acid is taken as a model ...

Convexity in source separation: Models, geometry, and algorithms

Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Quoc Tran Dinh, Luca Baldassarre

Source separation, or demixing, is the process of extracting multiple components entangled within a signal. Contemporary signal processing presents a host of difficult source separation problems, from interference cancellation to background subtraction, bl ...
