Studies Of Multiphase Distribution And Flow In Bubble/ Slurry Bubble Columns With /Without Internals And Advanced Sustainable Construction Materials Using Sophisticated Measurement Techniques, Omar Farid
Doctoral Dissertations
"Bubble/slurry bubble columns have been widely studied and employed as multiphase flow reactors with and without vertical heat-exchanging tubes. In order to understand more deeply the effect of the dense internals on the hydrodynamics of bubble/slurry bubble column, systematic experiments were performed to visualize and quantify using the radioactive particle tracking (RPT) technique. A new methodology for implementing the radioactive particle tracking (RPT) technique has been developed to investigate the effect of the dense internals on the hydrodynamics of the bubble/slurry column reactor. Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulation has been implemented to simulate the system to generate a large number …

Integrating Experimental Parameter Space For Granular Flow Within Polygon Tumblers, Michaela Mcmahon
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Granular flows are complex phenomena bridging both fluid and solid mechanics and observed frequently in the natural world. The transitional dynamics of acceleration from solid body motion to rapid flow can affect many aspects including volume flow rates and mixing behaviors. In order to study the combination of both variables together within polygon-shaped tumblers, control systems are necessary with a corresponding user interface. This thesis reports an interface for changing variable inputs to the system. Predictions of rotation rates with corresponding interfaces with hardware connections are described. Results of image analysis verify output performance that incorporates the following variable changes: …

There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) in preparing students to solve complex problems. In PBL implementations in engineering, students are treated as professional engineers facing projects centered around real-world problems, including the complexity and uncertainty that influence such problems. Not only does this help students to analyze and solve an authentic real-world task, promoting critical thinking, but also students learn from each other, learning valuable communication and teamwork skills. Faculty play an important part by assuming non-conventional roles (e.g., client, senior professional engineer, consultant) to help students throughout this instructional and learning approach. Typically in …
