Numerical Analysis of Flow Characterization in a Continuous Crystallizer
Abstract: In this work, hydrodynamics in a draft tube continuous crystallizer is analyzed computationally through Ansys CFD to crystallization phenomena. Hindrance to fluid mixing and particle suspension due to vortexing can be overcome by providing baffles. A draft tube ensures that it directs the flow in vertical direction ensuring good axial blending. Here CFD simulations are performed using multiple reference frame (MRF) with sliding mesh approach in transient condition for flow …

Chemical Synthesis and Characterization of Polyaniline for Supercapacitors Application
Abstract: Various polyaniline (PANI) synthesis methods are reported in the literature, depending on the experimental parameters involved (T, t, doping, and mixing procedure). Herein, three chemical polymerization methods were used to synthesis PANI from aniline monomer: rapid oxidation (OR), controlled oxidation (CO), and interfacial oxidation (OI). The PANI was therefore deposited next by drop casting on a silicon (Si) substrate. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to …
