Simulations Of Bubble Column Reactors Using A Volume Of Fluid Approach: Effect Of Air Distributor, Abid Akhtar May 2007

Simulations Of Bubble Column Reactors Using A Volume Of Fluid Approach: Effect Of Air Distributor, Abid Akhtar

Abid Akhtar Mr

Two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations have been performed on a laboratory scale bubble column reactor using a volume-of-fluid approach. The effect of hole-size and superficial gas velocity on the bubble size distribution and their trajectories has been investigated on a 20 cm diameter and 1 m high cylindrical reactor. All simulations were performed in a transient manner using a FLUENT solver. Surface tension between two phases has been modelled as a body force with a constant value. Turbulence was modelled using the k-(epsilon) turbulence approach. A comparison between simulation predictions and the reported experimental studies has shown a good agreement.


The Influence Of Amino Acid Sequence And Functionality On The Binding Process Of Peptides Onto Gold Surfaces, Gustavo Carri Mar 2007

The Influence Of Amino Acid Sequence And Functionality On The Binding Process Of Peptides Onto Gold Surfaces, Gustavo Carri

Gustavo A. Carri

We present a molecular dynamics study of the binding process of peptide A3 (AYSSGAPPMPPF) and other similar peptides onto gold surfaces, and identify the functions of many amino acids. Our results provide a clear picture of the separate regimes present in the binding process: diffusion, anchoring, crawling and binding. Moreover, we explored the roles of individual residues. We found that tyrosine, methionine, and phenylalanine are strong binding residues; serine serves as an effective anchoring residue; proline acts as a dynamic anchoring point, while glycine and alanine give flexibility to the peptide backbone. We then show that our findings apply to …
