Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

A new drag and lift correlation for spherocylinders from fully resolved Immersed Boundary Method
Abstract Many industrial processes deal with non‐spherical particles, e.g., mineral mining and biomass conversion. It is crucial to understand the particles' hydrodynamics to control and optimize these processes. To extend the current state‐of‐the‐art from arrays of spherical particles to spherocylindrical particles, we performed extensive particle ...

Civil disobedience and right of political resistance
In the second half of the 16th century, the issue of civil disobedience and political resistance occupied a prominent place in the European legal, theological and political debate due to the increasing persecution of Protestants by Catholic governments ...

Abstract In cryogenic CO2 desublimation systems where phase change dominates both heat transfer and separation, conventional lumped thermal‐resistance treatments embed interfacial latent heat into an overall heat‐transfer coefficient, obscuring how phase‐change heat is partitioned between the gas phase and the coolant and limiting diagnostic insight ...

A Computational Analysis of Civil Resistance Dynamics and Outcomes
The dilemma that civil resistance movements encounter is the inherent tension between structure and agency. Movements frequently face challenges that they have no control over, such as the type of government they oppose and the risks of mobilization ...

A practical electrodialysis model for accelerating system development
Abstract Empirical optimization of electrodialysis (ED) is dependent on repetitive experiments with incremental adjustments, which is cost prohibitive at scale. While models can reduce the costs associated with optimization and scale‐up, existing ED models are limited in application to specific use cases and tend to be developed for the exploration of ...

Structured sorbents for Direct Air Capture: The impact of materials and chemicals on performance
Abstract Structured sorbents can efficiently process large air volumes required for Direct Air Capture (DAC), but their broad implementation is limited by challenges in producing reproducible and homogeneous materials. This work presents a robust procedure to graft amines onto monolithic sorbents and systematically investigates how CO2$$ {\mathrm{CO ...
