Abstract: The physical processes that occur typically within an oil sand bed are considered when the bed is subjected to a hot gaseous stream. In this study, the extent of fluid volatilization was ...

Abstract: Based on a quasi-steady system, published experimental data on mass transfer in packed beds of spherical particles at relatively low Reynolds numbers, were employed to estimate the convective ...

Abstract: Clusters of preshaped oil sand spherical fragments were subjected to hot steady streams of air at low Reynolds number and constant stream temperature. A wide range of different combinations and ...

Abstract: Experimental data obtained previously relating to the behavior of single spherical particles of oil sands in hot uniform velocity oxidizing gaseous streams were employed and extended to estimate ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted for the combined free and forced convection heating of preshaped molded spherical particles of Athabasca oil sands in hot gaseous streams of air at low ...

Abstract: The process of transient mass transfer in and around oil sand spheres was investigated experimentally. Preshaped molded spherical particles of Athabasca oil sands were subjected to hot air streams ...

Abstract: An approximate approach was formulated to estimate the coefficient of convective mass transfer from small preshaped rectangular fragments of oil sands when subjected to hot streams of products ...
