CFD modeling of residence time distribution and experimental validation in a redox flow battery using free and porous flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a methodology for analyzing the hydrodynamic and mass transport behavior within a commercial redox flow battery (CRFB), which includes modeling of the flow behavior as well as its experimental validation with RTD.

Self-similarity of fluid residence time statistics in a turbulent round jet

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the statistics of fluid residence time from a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a statistically stationary turbulent round jet with a jet Reynolds number of 7290 and derived a self-similar profile for the mean of the mass-weighted stream age.

An analytical solution of the diffusion- convection equation over a finite domain

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical solution to the diffusion-convection equation over a finite domain is presented, and a comparison is made with a solution to a mathematically similar problem in heat conduction with radiation.

Distributed parameter approach to the dynamics of complex biological processes

TL;DR: In this article, a distributed-parameter approach is proposed to describe the behavior of components within three different bioreaction zones and the behaviour of sludge in a secondary settler.

Computational fluid dynamics analysis of the effects of reactor configuration on disinfection efficiency.

TL;DR: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to predict velocity fields, mass transport, chlorine decay, and microbial inactivation in a continuous flow reactor to provide a better prediction of microbial in activation than models that use an RTD.

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.
