This study investigated the successful synthesis of functionalized algal biochar-clay composite (FBKC). Subsequently, sorption performance FBKC towards norfloxacin (NFX) antibiotic and crystal violet dye (CVD) from water was extensively assessed in both batch continuous flow systems. A series characterization techniques were carried out for utilized precursors, indicating that surface area increased thirty-fold with a well-developed pore structure compared to original precursors....
Abstract The Marangoni effect assumes significance in bubbly flows when temperature or concentration gradients exist the domain. This study investigated hydrodynamics of single bubbles under influence force induced by stratified fields dissolved sugar, providing a numerical framework for examining these phenomena. A laboratory-scale bubble column and high-speed imaging were utilized to analyze behavior. OpenFOAM-based geometric volume fluid solver was extended incorporating solutocapillary...
We consider the problem of extracting discrete two-dimensional vortices from a turbulent flow. In our approach we use reference model describing expected physics and geometry an idealized vortex. The allows us to derive novel correlation between size vortex its strength, measured as square strain minus vorticity. For detection in real models strength parameter locate potential cores, then measure similarity ideal analytical core for different thresholds. This provides metric how well is...
In this work, a one-group reduced population balance model based on the one primary and secondary particle method (OPOSPM) developed recently by Attarakih et al.

Liquid–liquid extraction has proven to be an aid in biologics manufacturing for cell and component separation. Because distribution coefficients separation factors can appropriately adjusted via phase screening, especially aqueous two-phase systems, one stage is frequently feasible. For separation, systems have feasible efficient. The simple mixer–settler equipment type still not standard operations. Therefore, a scalable digital twin would of operator training, process design under the...
In this study, in a three-phase reactor with rectangular cross-section, the effects of liquid circulation rates and solid particle concentration on gas holdup bubble size distribution (BSD) were investigated. Air, water, glass beads used as gas, liquid, phases, respectively. Different velocities different loads applied. The results demonstrate that increasing content from 0% to 6% can decrease by 50% (due increased slurry phase viscosity promotion coalescence). Also, rate showed weak effect...
This study aims to contribute the optimization of bio-methanation in bubble columns, making it a more viable alternative stirred tank reactors. The primary challenge be addressed is enhancement mass transfer, which strongly depends on parameters such as size and gas hold-up. Various disperser designs were examined 0.14 mm diameter column, comparing their performance terms distribution results indicate that an optimized plate featuring porous structure outperformed other by maintaining high...

Tensors occur in many areas of science and engineering. Especially, they are used to describe charge, mass energy transport (i.e. electrical conductivity tensor, diffusion thermal conduction tensor resp.) If the locale pattern is complicated, usual second order representation not sufficient. So far, there no appropriate visualization methods for this case. We point out similarities symmetric higher tensors spherical harmonics. A harmonic improve glyphs. This paper unites definition...
