A Numerical Investigation Of Augmented Heat Transfer In Rectangular Ducts With Ribs, Warissara Tangyotkhajorn
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The application of roughness structure of ribs inside a smooth channel is one effective way of heat transfer augmentation, but the accompanied pressure drop could be high. A novel V-rib design with branches was introduced and numerical simulations on the thermo-fluid impact of heat transfer and pressure drop were investigated. The parameters of investigation include the branching number and the pitch ratio of the V-ribs. It appears that increasing the relative pitch ratio serves to improve the overall performance of a roughened channel. The effect of the branching number is only experienced at low pitch ratio. At high pitch ratio, …

Green Composites Of Polylactic Acid Filled With Natural Fiber For Biodegradation Application, Chamaiporn Yamoum
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This research focuses on how to use natural fibers available from agricultural residues to produce biodegradable materials such as mulch films. Green composites were prepared from natural fibers (peanut shell and bagasse fiber) and polylactic acid (PLA) together with plasticizers. The presence of plasticizers improved PLA molecular mobility as seen by the reduction of glass transition, cold crystallization, and melting temperatures. The addition of natural fibers into PLA brought down decomposition temperature when compared to PLA. The morphological study of the composites showed poor interfacial adhesion between natural fibers and PLA matrix. Moreover, the loading of plasticizers improved distribution of …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Generally, jet fuels are mainly derived from the refining of petroleum feedstock which exhaust greenhouse gases. Therefore, biojet fuel is introduced as an alternative way to solve the problem. Moreover, jet fuel must have a freezing point about -47 °C or below so iso-paraffins which have low freezing point are required. In this study, the hydroprocessing of palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) over synthesized Ni/HZSM-12 and conventional Ni/HY catalysts which have different morphology and pore size for producing biojet fuel (hydrocarbon in a range of C9-C14) was studied in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor under conditions of 350-400 °C, 10-30 …

Heat Exchanger Network Retrofit Under Fouling Effect, Jaturaporn Yanyongsak
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The energy conservation by heat exchanger network (HEN) is important in process design according to an increase of energy costs and global environmental concerns. To minimize the energy consumption with positive net present value (NPV), the retrofitted HEN plays an important role in process energy systems. The HEN retrofit model is based on stage-wise superstructure by Yee and Grossmann (1990). In addition, fouling deposition on the surface area of heat exchangers causes extra energy consumption, production loss and maintenance costs. The new proposed model is retrofitting HEN with fouling effects. This method achieves HEN with the optimal trade-offs between energy …

Methane Hydrate Formation And Dissociation : Roles Of Promoters, Kimhak Neak
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Roles of promoters become necessary in methane hydrate formation for the attempt of gas storage application, but some additives might cause unwanted results in gas recovery. The effects of amino acids (l-leucine and l-valine) and surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and methyl ester sulfonate (MES) was investigated at 8 MPa and 2 to 4 °C. L-leucine system enhanced hydrate formation because of its surface activity and surface adsorption at interfaces. A noticeable methane uptake yield was also observed in the l-valine solution. Its influences might be from the nature of l-valine that has non-polar, aliphatic hydrophobic side chain resulting in …

The porous materials, hollow silica (HSC) and activated carbon (AC), were selected to investigate their effects with water on methane hydrate formation and dissociation. The methane hydrate formation with the porous materials was conducted at 8 MPa and 277 K. The dissociation of hydrates was achieved by thermal stimulation with 294 K temperature driving force. The result showed that the hydrate formation of the system with 1:14 HSC to water ratio, the system with excess water, provided the highest methane consumed and water conversion to hydrates. That is because the HSC has low density allowing it to float on water …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) design has been studied for 40 years starting from heuristic technique; pinch analysis and design method to mathematical programming. The stage-wise superstructure by mathematical programming from Yee and Grossmann (1990) was one of the famous models suitable for industrial HEN design under assumption of constant average specific heat capacity (Cp) which generally should be fitted by empirical form of cubic equation. Zhu and Asante (1999) and Ayotte-Sauvé et al. (2017) used piece-wise linearization called stream segment model, to approximate Cp. Their Cp approximation techniques used high number of piece-wises to calculate Cp accurately. This paper presents …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Viscous fingering and early breakthrough are the main problems observed during the water flooding. These problems could be overcome by using foam flooding by coinjection of surfactant solution and nitrogen gas as a mobility control in a porous media to help improve the sweep efficiency. To gain the maximum benefits of foam flooding, ultra-low interfacial tension foam was studied to obtain a foaming system with high sweep efficiency and at the same time high oil solubilization to help mobilize the oil phase from reservoir rock. In this work, mixed surfactant systems between sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT) and internal olefin sulfonate (IOS) …
