The Porous Media Tea Time Talk team is happy to invite you to the next Tea Time Talk on May 18th at 15:00 on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLNxQbBgh0M
The two presentations are:
Towards bottom-up design of porous electrode microstructures for redox flow batteries
By: Maxime van der Heijden, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands
- Computational optimization of the redox flow battery electrode microstructure to reduce system costs by maximizing the electrochemical performance and minimizing the required hydraulic power.
- Modeling platform based on pore network modeling to predict local transport within porous electrodes at low-computational cost.
- Genetic algorithm integrated with the pore network model to enable the bottom-up prediction of optimal porous electrode microstructures.
and
Solid-fluid interfacial area measurement for reservoir scale wettability quantification in porous media
By: Deepshikha Singh, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India
- Reservoir scale wettability quantification is important for geological reservoirs due to heterogeneity.
- Relative retention of an ideal and an adsorbing tracer is used to experimentally determine solid-fluid interfacial area during the multi-phase flow in porous media.
- Wetting fluid is found to have more interfacial with the porous solid in comparison to the non-wetting fluid at a given fluid fraction in the porous media.
