Publication number: 20190332728Abstract: Simulations of interfacial phenomena are useful to understand and predict the phase-change processes that occur around the interface at various operating conditions. A method is described that simplifies the simulation of interfaces and the transport processes occurring across the interfaces. The method accurately determines the fixed ? value at the computational cells that have an interface (mixture cells), which is needed for a proper representation of the interface. Moreover, the method accurately determines the gradient of ? at the interface, which is needed for a proper estimation of the mass transfer at the interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2018Publication date: October 31, 2019Applicant: Rochester Institute of TechnologyInventors: Isaac Perez-Raya, Satish Kandlikar

Patent number: 7988930Abstract: A portable, lightweight, easy-to-carry, reusable, durable, and environmentally-friendly assembly for sterilizing contaminated equipment using conditions of a chemical sterilant, heat, and humidity generated in situ without requiring external electricity, fuels, or other exogenous energy sources for operation. The carry assembly includes a plastic carry-case or insulated aluminum pressure vessel having an inner chamber for accepting microbiologically contaminated objects, a vessel disposed in the chamber for serving as a reaction chamber and/or boiler, a chemical combination which upon mixing generates at least minimally sufficient conditions of the sterilant, heat, and humidity to effect sterilization of the objects, and outlet valves mounted on the carry-case for controllably venting pressures above ambient air pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2009Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Christopher Doona, Maria Curtin, Florence Feeherry, Satish Kandlikar, David Baer, Kenneth Kustin, Irwin A. Taub, Barbara Taub, legal representative, Albert T. McManus
