Supervisor: Professor Mark Pritzker, Chemical Engineering
William A. Welsh Presentation to the Department of Chemical Engineering University of Waterloo
Abstract
You are invited to attend the fourth year design symposium for the Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo. The symposium showcases the students' design projects in the cutting edge field of Nanotechnology. Presentations will include posters, live demonstrations of the projects, and presentations from the students throughout the day.
Abstract: The world is faced with energy challenges with depleting fossil fuel reserves. Although with successful exploitation of shale gas and shale oil, the long-term economic benefits on shale fuels use considering the environmental damage are unknown. Biomass is abundant worldwide and its derived energy is regarded renewable and cost-effective. Additionally, the use of bioenergy from biomass is claimed to be carbon neutral since the biomass has supreme capability to biofixation of CO2. However, the cost of biodiesel production from biomass is high.

ABSTRACT: In this work, the issue of stability for two-phase incompressible flow in homogeneous porous media out of the Darcy regime (i.e. when inertia must be taken into account) is considered. The development is based on a macroscopic model derived by upscaling the pore-scale Navier-Stokes equations, assuming that the inertial correction is quadratic in the filtration velocity, as widely admitted with the classical Darcy-Forchheimer model.
