• A methodology for the measurement of carbon monoxide concentration during in-situ combustion with tunable diode laser 

      Duque Posada, Juan Esteban
      A TDL system is reported to monitor carbon monoxide (CO) concentration under conditions similar to those of laboratory-scale tests used to characterize the behaviour of a heavy crude oil during in situ combustion (ISC). ...

    • Analysis of hydrodynamic forces on high-head slide gates using CFD 

      Arango Escobar, Juan Camilo
      Coefficients that can be applied to current analytical expressions that predict the hydrodynamic forces and, particularly, the downpull phenomenon on an inverted 30° lip gate at a bottom outlet of a dam, were determined ...

    • Caracterización de la combustión en un quemador de chamuscado de telas operando con varsol. 

      Quintana Marín, Juan Carlos; Mendoza Sepúlveda, Cesar Camilo; Molina, Alejandro
      La industria textil emplea quemadores de chamuscado para disminuir la cantidad de filamentos rotos (pilling) en la superficie de las telas. Algunos de estos quemadores utilizan como combustible varsol el cual presenta alto ...

    • Educational program for the prevention of fires and explosions through emerging technologies 

      Vallejo-Molina, Luis Francisco
      Four real cases of fires and explosions in Colombia were used as the basis for an education program that aimed at training undergraduate and graduate engineering students in fire and explosion safety. A systematic review ...
    • Improvement of the performance of a hydrocracking reactor using a computational fluid dynamics perspective 

      Arias Belduque, Juan José
      The distribution of the liquid phase at the top of the catalytic bed of a hydrocracking trickle bed reactor was obtained by CFD simulations and coupled to a 1-D hydrocracking reactor model, used to evaluate the performance ...

    • Reaction pathways for in situ combustion 

      Carvajal Díaz, Luisa Fernanda
      This study proposes reaction pathways to explain chemical routes that the fractions of a heavy crude oil follow during the thermal cracking and low temperature oxidation stages of in situ combustión (ISC). ISC is an enhanced ...
