Membrane filters have been widely used in industrial applications to remove contaminants and undesired impurities from the solvent. During the filtration process the membrane internal void area becomes fouled with impurities and as a consequence the filter performance deteriorates, which indeed depends on filter internal structure, particles concentration and flow. The complexity of membrane...

The phenomenon of pressure generation and relaxation inside a porous media is widely observed in biological systems. For example, the pressurization inside the cartilage plays the key in the load bearing and lubrication of the knee joints. In this paper, we report a biomimetic study to examine the transient pressure distribution inside a soft porous layer when a spherical loaded surface...

In this paper, we report a novel experimental study to examine the lubrication theory for highly compressible porous media (Feng & Weinbaum, JFM, 422, 282, 2000), which was applied to the frictionless motion of red cells over the endothelial surface layer (ESL). The experimental setup consists of a running conveyer belt covered with a soft porous sheet, and an upper planar board, i.e....

In this study penetration and spreading of printing ink on paper in High Speed Inkjet (HSI) printing is investigated. Printing ink penetration is reducing color density and spreading of the ink on the surface is crucial for development of print density. Three measurement techniques are evaluated: Ultrasonic liquid penetration measurement (ULP), contact angle measurement (CA) and scanning...

Suspensions and their applications can be found in many fields of mechanical, civil and environmental engineering. The rheological behavior of suspensions strongly depends on the concentration of suspended particles. To consider the flow behavior as well as fluid-solid interactions in dilute suspensions, we present 3D Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a single-phase fluid with discrete...

Mr Logan Battrell (Montana State University)17/05/2018, 12:05MS 4.16: Two-Phase Flow and Reactive Transport through Thin Porous LayersPoster + 3 Minute Pitch
One of the key issues related to long-term polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell durability is water management within the porous gas diffusion layer (GDL). When too much water accumulates within the GDL, the flow of the gases to the catalyst layer becomes restricted, which can lead to the degradation of key cell components or even result in total cell failure. Therefore, understanding...

David Smeulders (Eindhoven University)17/05/2018, 12:08MS 4.04: Thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical energy storage (THMC-ES)Poster + 3 Minute Pitch
Thermochemical materials can store solar energy in the form of chemical energy. The stored solar energy can be used for household applications (hot tap water and room heating). These materials thus form a so-called heat battery. We investigate how salt hydrates can be used for this purpose. These salt hydrates release water (dehydration) when they absorb solar energy in summer. They absorb...

Mrs Gabriele Seitz (University of Stuttgart)17/05/2018, 12:11MS 4.27: Novel Concepts in Energy StoragePoster + 3 Minute Pitch
Thermochemical heat storage has a large potential due to its high storage density. In the range of high to medium temperature heat storage the system Calciumoxide – Calciumhydroxide is of special interest, as it reacts at handable temperatures (300-500 °C), is environmentally friendly and financially attractive.
The following chemical reaction is considered:
$ \text{CaO}_s +...
