Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical Modeling of Three-Dimensional Cell Cultures in Perfusion Bioreactors
TL;DR: A comprehensive mathematical model of convection and diffusion in a perfusion bioreactor, combined with cell growth kinetics, is developed and describes the spatial−temporal evolution of oxygen concentration and cell density within a 3D polymeric scaffold.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Dynamic, Distributed Model of Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers Undergoing Crude Oil Fouling
TL;DR: In this article, a distributed model for a multipass shell-and-tube heat exchanger undergoing crude oil fouling is proposed, and the model calculates fouling rates as a function of local conditions and time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling in Crude Oil Preheat Trains: A Systematic Solution to an Old Problem

TL;DR: A large-scale interdisciplinary research project, CROF (crude oil fouling), brought together leading experts from the University of Bath, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London and, through IHS ESDU, industry as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of deposit ageing on thermal fouling: Lumped parameter model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the ageing concept for crude oil fouling proposed by Nelson (Refiner Nat Gas Manufacturer), using a numerical model incorporating first order kinetics to generate quantitative comparisons of different ageing rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of deposit aging and surface roughness on thermal fouling: Distributed model
TL;DR: In this article, a kinetic model was proposed to describe the effect of aging on deposit thermal conductivity and the thermal performance of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger undergoing crude oil fouling.
