Carbon dioxide Adsorption on Silica Aerogel Storage System - Modeling & Simulation

S. S.[1]
[1]CSIR-NIIST, India

A thorough study on the adsorption behaviour of carbon dioxide (CO2) on silica aerogel is critical for CO2 sequestration and recovery. Although CO2 sorption focuses mainly on the lab scale setup, research on the larger bulk counterparts, which is used at industry central facility is ... Read More

Simulation of Fluid Flow in a Distribution Manifold

K. Viswanathan[1], M. L.[1]
[1]VIT, India

In this paper, a simulation of fluid flow in a distribution manifold has been considered. An axial inlet has been taken and the variation of velocity and pressure in the header tube and the outlet tubes have been observed. The effect of various parameters such as the Area Ratio(AR) that ... Read More
