• Adequacy versus complexity of mathematical models for engineering an adsorbed natural gas device 

      Grande, Carlos Adolfo; Vistad, Ørnulv Bjørnsson (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Deploying affordable and sustainable energy storage devices is one of the major pillars for changing the current energy systems. Natural gas (NG)/bio-methane storage for vehicle transportation is an existing technology ...
    • Comparison of particle‐resolved direct numerical simulation and 1D modelling of catalytic reactions in a packed bed 

      Singhal, Arpit; Cloete, Schalk; Radi, Stefan; Quinta-Ferreira, Rosa; Amini, Shahriar (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The work presents a comparison of catalytic gas-solid reactions in a packed bed as simulated on two widely different scales: direct numerical simulation (capable of accurately predicting transfer phenomena in and around a ...
    • Mass- and Heat Transfer during Dissolution of Alumina 

      Solheim, Asbjørn; Skybakmoen, Egil (The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Dissolution of alumina in industrial aluminium cells is a complicated process, not least because it involves formation of agglomerates, and it involves mass- and heat transfer phenomena taking place simultaneously. In the ...
    • Multi-purpose structured catalysts designed and manufactured by 3D printing 

      Lind, Anna; Vistad, Ørnulv Bjørnsson; Sunding, Martin Fleissner; Andreassen, Karin; Cavka, Jasmina Hafizovic; Grande, Carlos Adolfo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This work presents an example of the design and manufacture capabilities that 3D printing can introduce in catalysis. A multi-purpose catalyst, with fast heat and mass transfer and low-pressure drop has been designed and ...
    • Review on reactor configurations for adsorption-based CO2 capture 

      Dhoke, Chaitanya; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Adsorption-based CO2 capture has enjoyed considerable research attention in recent years. Most of the research efforts focused on sorbent development to reduce the energy penalty. However, the use of suitable gas–solid ...
    • Study of the Cost Reductions Achievable from the Novel SARC CO2 Capture Concept Using a Validated Reactor Model 

      Dhoke, Chaitanya; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar; Zaabout, Abdelghafour (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      New process concepts, such as the swing adsorption reactor cluster (SARC) CO2 capture process, are often techno-economically investigated using idealized modeling assumptions. This study quantifies the impact of this ...
