Measurement of heat-transfer coefficient and axial-dispersion coefficient using temperature oscillations

TL;DR: In this article, a periodic transient test technique based on the axial dispersion model is proposed for the determination of both heat transfer coefficients and axially dispersion coefficients in heat exchangers.

Sorptive separation of ethanol-water mixtures with a bi-dispersed hydrophobic molecular sieve, silicalite: measurement and theoretical analysis of column dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the column dynamics are well described with a differential model accounting for axial dispersion, external film mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion, and a sensitivity analysis indicates that, given the adsorption isotherm, all the mass transfer parameters can be estimated or predicted a priori.

Gas purification using membrane gas absorption processes

TL;DR: In this article, the main goal in doing so is to increase the heating value of natural gas and to reduce the transportation cost, and considerable attention is given to the bulk removal of CO2 and upgrading of low quality natural gas.

A Systematic Method For Tracer Test Analysis: An Example Using Beowawe Tracer Data

TL;DR: The method yields specific information on swept pore volume, flow geometry and fluid velocity, and an understanding of the nature of reservoir boundaries through quantitative analysis of tracer data using moment analysis.

Lagrangian modeling of the particle residence time in indoor environment

TL;DR: In this article, a new Lagrangian-based approach, which adopts the kernel concentration estimation method, is proposed to model the particle residence time in indoor environment, and two representative particle sizes of 10μm coarse particles and 1-μm fine particles are input into the two approaches to investigate the effect of particle size on the mean particle residence times.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
