A unified approach to the various formulations of the one-dimensional-turbulence model | 2010-01 | One-Dimensional Turbulence model; ODT; Stand-alone ODT models; Predicting turbulence statistics; Nonreacting flows; Reacting flows; Governing equations; Turbulent flow field; Linear Eddy Model; Eddy events | The One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model has been successfully applied as a stand-alone model for predicting turbulence statistics in both nonreacting and reacting flows. There are several formulations of the model in the literature, and most of the variable-density formulations do not clearly dis... |

Interaction between reactivity and flow in the in-situ production of oil from oil shale | 2009-10-23 | in situ; oil shale | In-situ Oil Shale Processing: 1) Underground resources are heated by some means to convert insoluable/ impermeable kerogen into oil and gas products. 2) The interlinked processes of heat transfer, kerogen conversion and flow are complex. 3) This paper is an attempt to understand these linkages. |

Predicting Ash Deposition During Oxy-Coal Combustion | | | An ability to predict and control ash deposition are crucial to effective heat extraction from pulverized fuel (pf) units. Computation Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations in conjunction with fuel characterization data have been used in recent years to develop sub-models to predict slagging propensities ... |

Production of hydrogen for upgrading of heavy oil: Senior design project--Spring 2009 | 2009-04-22 | oil supply; conventional oil sources; unconventional oil sources; oil shale; synthetic crude production; shale oil | An important technical hurdle to the production of oil from abundant oil shale resources is how to create enough hydrogen for upgrading the heavy oils produced from the shale prior to transport through pipelines. In order to avoid clogging pipelines during transport roughly 350scm (standard cubic me... |
