Journal ArticleDOI
Landfill gas-powered atmospheric water harvesting for oilfield operations in the United States
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of landfill gas-powered atmospheric water harvesting towards meeting the water requirements of oilfields located near landfills is analyzed, where heat and mass transfer-based analytical modeling is used to estimate the seasonal water harvest, and techno-economic analyses are presented to quantify the benefits for US oilfields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrowetting-based enhancement of droplet growth dynamics and heat transfer during humid air condensation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used electrowetting to enhance coalescence, growth and roll-off dynamics of condensed droplets, thereby enhancing the condensation rate and associated heat transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling humid air condensation in waste natural gas-powered atmospheric water harvesting systems
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model is developed to capture the complex heat and mass transfer phenomena associated with condensation of humid air in a fin and tube heat exchanger, which can predict the water condensation rate as a function of the gas flow rate, ambient weather and the refrigeration system utilized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flared natural gas-based onsite atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) for oilfield operations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced and analyzed a novel concept for flared gas utilization, wherein the gas that would have been flared is instead used to condense atmospheric moisture, which can alternatively power refrigeration systems to generate cooling capacity for large scale atmospheric water harvesting (AWH).
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical modeling of electrowetting-induced droplet coalescence for condensation applications
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the applied voltage, frequency of the AC waveform and the geometry of the electrowetting (EW) device on two parameters related to droplet coalescence was quantified.
