Effects of diffusive property heterogeneity on effective matrix diffusion coefficient for fractured rock [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2006
Heterogeneities of diffusion properties are likely to influence the effective matrix diffusion coefficient determined from tracer breakthrough curves. The objectives of this study are (1) to examine if it is appropriate to use a single, effective matrix diffusion coefficient to predict breakthrough curves in a fractured formation, (2) to examine if a ...

Renormalization group analysis of heat transfer in the presence of endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019
In the present paper, renormalization group methods are used to develop a macroscopic turbulence model for thermal diffusivity in turbulent fluid flow under conditions of endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions in flow.

Fast computation of effective diffusivities using a semi-analytical solution of the homogenization boundary value problem for block locally-isotropic heterogeneous media

open access: yes, 2020
Direct numerical simulation of diffusion through heterogeneous media can be difficult due to the computational cost of resolving fine-scale heterogeneities.

Vacuum Drying Characteristics of Some Vegetables [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2011
In this research the drying of four kinds of vegetables was investigated in a vacuum dryer. The effect of temperature on drying rate of samples at various temperatures (30, 35 and 45 °C) was studied.

Modeling and Effects of Various Drying Methods on Sweet Potato Starch Properties

open access: yesWalailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2011
Eleven mathematical models (Lewis, Page, Henderson and Pabis, modified Henderson and Pabis, Wang and Singh, logarithmic, two term, two term exponential, Midilli, approximation of diffusion and Verma et al, model) were used for describing the drying ...

Effective diffusivity in yacon potato cylinders during drying

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
The aim of this study was to obtain the effective diffusivity of yacon potato in fixed-bed dryer at different temperatures (50, 60 and 70 ºC) and drying air velocities (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m s-1).

Impact of instant controlled pressure drop pre-treatment on solvent extraction of edible oil from rapeseed seeds

open access: yesOilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2014
The fundamental analysis and modeling of kinetics of solvent extraction of rapeseed oil enable the quantification of the “washing” and “diffusion” steps. Both are illustrated through “starting accessibility” and “effective diffusivity”

Effective Isentropic Diffusivity of Tropospheric Transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Tropospheric transport can be described qualitatively by the slow mean diabatic circulation and rapid isentropic mixing, yet a quantitative understanding of the transport circulation is complicated, as nearly half of the isentropic surfaces in the ...

Can disorder enhance incoherent exciton diffusion? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recent experiments aimed at probing the dynamics of excitons have revealed that semiconducting films composed of disordered molecular subunits, unlike expectations for their perfectly ordered counterparts, can exhibit a time-dependent diffusivity in ...

Sharp Error Estimates on a Stochastic Structure-Preserving Scheme in Computing Effective Diffusivity of 3D Chaotic Flows

open access: yesMultiscale Modeling & simulation, 2018
In this paper, we study the problem of computing the effective diffusivity for particles moving in chaotic flows. Instead of solving a convection-diffusion type cell problem in the Eulerian formulation (arising from homogenization theory for parabolic ...
