Numerical Simulation Of Enhancement In Co2 Sequestration With Various Water Production Schemes Under Multiple Well Scenarios, Li Chen
McKelvey School of Engineering Theses & Dissertations
CO2 geological sequestration simultaneously combined with water production from deep saline aquifers can effectively address the challenge faced by the modern energy systems for reducing the CO2 emissions and water intensity while providing reliable, affordable, and secure energy. However, little attention has been paid to date in the literature on determining the best CO2 injection strategy for achieving both the optimal water production and the optimal CO2 space storage capacity while maintaining operational safety. This research first establishes three injection-extraction scenarios based on the typical geological parameters of the Junggar Basin in China to analyze the …

Particle Enrichment In Longitudinal Standing Bulk Acoustic Wave Microfluidics, Mingyang Cui
McKelvey School of Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Separation, isolation, and enrichment of targeted nano- and microparticles are critical to a variety of biomedical applications from clinical research (development of therapeutics and diagnostics) to fundamental investigations that require concentration of specific cells from culture, separation of target species from heterogenous mixtures, or controlled perturbation of cells and microorganisms to determine their response to stimuli. Numerous techniques are available for bench-scale and medical settings; however, these traditional approaches are often labor intensive, time-consuming, costly, and/or require modification of the target. Efficiency and specificity are also lacking. Recently, techniques that exploit the similar scales of microfluidic technologies and the intrinsic …
