A comparison of hyperbolic solvers II: ausm-type and Hybrid Lax-Wendroff-Lax-Fr...

Riemann-solver based schemes are difficult and sometimes impossible to be applied for complex flows due to the required average state. Other methods that do not use Riemann-solvers are best suited for such cases. Among them, AUSM+, AUSMDV and the recently proposed Hybrid Lax-Friedrichs-Lax-Wendroff (HLFW) have been extended to two-phase flows. The eigenstructure of the two-fluid model is complex due to the phas...

Disfagia e Disartria. Forma Invulgar de Apresentação da Miastenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder that generally presents with ocular symptoms, specially diplopia and ptosis. Dysphagia may be a manifestation of the generalised type of the disease, but rarely is its presenting feature. The authors describe a case of Myasthenia Gravis in an old patient complaining of dysphagia and dysarthria. Because Myasthenia Gravis is a potentially serious but treatable disease, ...

A comparison of hyperbolic solvers for ideal and real gas flows

Classical and recent numerical schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws were analyzed for computational efficiency and application to nonideal gas flows. The Roe-Pike approximate Riemann solver with entropy correction, the Harten second-order scheme and the extension of the Roe-Pike method to second-order by the MUSCL strategy were compared for one-dimensional flows of an ideal gas. These methods requir...

Front tracking in recirculating flows: a comparison between the TVD and RCM met...

The modeling and simulation of mold filling must include a method to capture the interface formed between the inlet fluid and the fluid that was initially in the mold. A commonly used front-capturing method in a Eulerian mesh is the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method. The VOF advection equation solution may show numerical diffusion and/or dispersion and high-order numerical schemes, such as the TVD schemes with dimen...

Experimental study on bubble size distributions in a direct-contact evaporator

Experimental bubble size distributions and bubble mean diameters were obtained by means of a photographic technique for a direct-contact evaporator operating in the quasi-steady-state regime. Four gas superficial velocities and three different spargers were analysed for the air-water system. In order to assure the statistical significance of the determined size distributions, a minimum number of 450 bubbles was...

Modeling and simulation of direct contact evaporators

A dynamic model of a direct contact evaporator was developed and coupled to a recently developed superheated bubble model. The latter model takes into account heat and mass transfer during the bubble formation and ascension stages and is able to predict gas holdup in nonisothermal systems. The results of the coupled model, which does not have any adjustable parameter, were compared with experimental data. The t...

Conservation of bubble size distribution during gas reactive absorption in bubb...

Conservation of the bubble size distribution function was applied to the reactive absorption of carbon dioxide in a bubble column reactor. The model developed was solved by the method of characteristics and by a Monte Carlo method. Simulations were carried out using simplified models for the liquid phase and for the gas-liquid mass transfer. Predictions of gas holdup and outlet gas composition showed that the c...
