On the prediction of the phase distribution of bubbly flow in a horizontal pipe
Abstract Horizontal bubbly flow is widely encountered in various industrial systems because of its ability to provide large interfacial areas for heat and mass transfer. Nonetheless, this particular flow orientation has received less attention when...

A study of Oxidative Degradation of AMP for Post-combustion CO2 Capture
Abstract The degradation of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) has been investigated in the presence of oxygen. AMP was not stable and the overall degradation rate of AMP was close to that of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) under identical conditions....

Investigation of the Effect of CO2 bubbles and Slugs on the Performance of a DMFC by Means of Laser-optical Flow Measurements
Abstract A single-channel DMFC is constructed that allows for flow measurements at the anode side as well as detailed time–resolved cell-voltage measurement. The coherence between flow and bubble clogging and slug movement can be investigated...
