A hierarchical approach for modeling and simulation of coupled hydrodynamics and mass
transfer in liquid extraction columns using detailed and reduced bivariate population …

The objective of this work is to present the effect on a crude oil pipeline of corrosion by
naphthenic acid (NA) and sulfur (S), which are responsible for small crack initiation and …

This study aims to identify the feasibility of a conceptual process design and economic
analysis of using palm oil to produce fatty acids and glycerine. The objective of this project is …

A comprehensive model for simulation and optimization of industrial-scale splitting towers
that is able to predict the yield for the hydrolysis of bio-based triglyceride feedstocks is …

A chemical kinetic model has been developed for the transient stage of the continuous
countercurrent hydrolysis of triglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol. Departure functions …

A model describing the batch hydrolysis of rapeseed oil including kinetics and mass transfer
at subcritical conditions is presented in this paper. The primary purpose of this model is to …

In this work we present the model of a counter-current spray column in which a triglyceride
(tripalmitic triglyceride) is hydrolyzed by water and leads to fatty acid (palmitic acid) and …

Biorefineries provide an important alternative for petroleum-based processes to improve the
sustainability of chemicals, plastics and fuels (Langholtz et al., 2016). A key bottleneck in the …

In this work, a discrete multivariate reduced population balance model with One Primary and
One Secondary Particle Method (OPOSPM) is introduced as an alternative to the full …

The sectional quadrature method of moments (SQMOM), as a discrete population balance
model, is applied for the first time to model the hydrodynamics of a reactive system (EFCE …
