The optimization of a corrugated wall photocatalytic reactor for air treatment was addressed using the concept of efficiencies in series. A new concept has been introduced: the inner incidence efficiency, associated with ...

A design of a nautical project using the active learning method based on projects, was developed and implemented in two universities in Chile. The main objective of this research is the search of learning methodologies ...

Static mixers with improved performance were developed from CFD simulations in a stepwise approach. The relevant geometric features of simple mixer designs and the corresponding mixing mechanisms-laminar shear, elongational ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis has high applicability in the industrial sector as it enables the development of faster, more efficient and more accurate production processes at a lower cost, when compared to ...

One of the applications of coal as a fuel is the production of gas through circulating fluidized bed technology. The modeling of these systems allows verifying and optimizing the design and operation parameters of gasifiers ...

Electric vessels represent a sustainable solution for fluvial mobility. However, their energy demand is higher compared to terrestrial vehicles, so that, increasing the hydrodynamic efficiency is mandatory.

The thermal analysis is of essential importance in the design of the heat exchanger. In shell and tube heat exchangers of industrial dimensions, it is interesting to computational fluid dynamics analysis CFD (Computational ...

The main objective of this article is to achieve a very high lift rotor to take the maximum advantage of the kinetic energy of a slow velocity water flow, which belongs to a lowland river type. Low speed flux and lack of ...
