Chemical and Physical Principles in Multiphase Separations

This project is sponsored by the Division of Chemical Sciences, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Office of Energy Research, of the U. S. Department of Energy.

The purpose of this program is to investigate transport processes in multiphase separations, and means for enhancing them using electromagnetic fields. Several topics under study are aimed toward this purpose, including:

• electrically driven methods to generate surface area and mixing for enhanced transport
• interactions of weakly magnetic particles in magnetic fields
• development of new methods for simulation of multiphase flows

Highlights:

Inverse Electrostatic Spraying

Drop Oscillations

Magnetic Separations
