Importance of the different fluid forces on particle dispersion in fluid phase resonance mixers
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)In Fluid Phase Resonance (FPR) mixers, a central pipe reaches into the liquid phase inside a mixing vessel. Thus two closed gas cushions are formed above the liquid – one inside the pipe and one above the liquid inside ... -
Improved collision modelling for liquid metal droplets in a copper slag cleaning process
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)Collision and coalescence among liquid metal droplets in a slag cleaning process enhanced by electromagnetic stirring were numerically studied. A hybrid collision algorithm was implemented to calculate the collision ... -
IMPROVEMENT OF EULER-EULER SIMULATION OF TWO-PHASE FLOW BY PARTICLE-CENTER-AVERAGED METHOD
(SINTEF Proceedings;6, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)The standard Euler-Euler modelling is based on the phase-averaged method and the forces of the bubble are the function of gas volume fraction. However, the closure models for the forces are developed based on the measured ... -
Improving the indoor thermal environment with ceiling radiant terminals
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)A CFD (computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation model of the porous ceiling radiant air-conditioning system was established to study the influence of the ceiling temperature and envelope temperature (including the temperature ... -
Indoor Aerosols – Calculation of Zonal Particle Concentration and Particle Deposition in the Human Respiratory Tract
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)This study presents a modeling approach to calculate the particle concentration in mechanically conditioned indoor environments and predict particle deposition in the Human Respiratory Tract (HRT) by combining two aerosol ... -
Indoor Environment and Energy Consumption of an Elementary School in a Subtropical Region
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Indoor thermal environment and air quality in an elementary school were measured and examined for the basic data of net Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs) and the adaptation to the impacts of climate change. The target school ... -
Industrial CO2 Capture Projects: Status, Lessons Learned and Needs for Progressing Towards Full-Scale Implementation
(SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Existing CO2 capture projects are accumulating experience of adapting generalized results to individual projects, which will be extremely valuable for accelerating emerging CCS projects. Through knowledge-sharing, the CCUS ... -
Inflammatory effects of exposure to different stone types used in Norwegian asphalt
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)During the winter in Scandinavian countries, up to 90% of traffic-related particulate matter (PM) is from non-exhaust emissions sources such as asphalt wear. Measures to reduce urban PM have focused mainly on exhaust ... -
Inflow Performance of Cold Co2 Injection in Depleted Gas Fields
(SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Injection of CO2 in depleted hydrocarbon fields often leads to differences in temperature between the injected CO2 and the reservoir formation and fluids. A low pressure in the reservoir after depletion leads to decompression ... -
The Influence of Aquifer Geochemistry on Salt Precipitation During CO2 Injection: Insights From 1D Simulations Using The Rand Algorithm
(SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)CO2 storage in saline aquifers is deemed as a feasible way to control the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases. When CO2 is injected in saline aquifers, several phenomena take place, such as multiphase fluid flow, ... -
