The group ECoMMFiT has large expertise in the analysis of flow, heat and mass transfer, with or without chemical reaction systems, equipment and processes of interest in scientific, technological, industrial, environmental and/or biomedical using theoretical, computational (CFD) and experimental tools. All this knowledge is exported outside the university and offered to the society through research agreements, specific contracts or multidisciplinary projects with the administration and/or with external companies and industry [more]

Some of the companies that had transfer agreements with ECoMMFiT and some of the specific problems solved were:

  • Fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer:

  • Design and optimization of reactors (tubular and agitated)

  • Heat transport and chemical reaction at very high pressure

  • Mixing in tanks

  • Mixing in pipes

  • Transport and deposition of droplets/particles

  • Development of software for in-house design

  • Heat transport in PCBs

  • Analysis of blood flow and clot formation

  • Determination of fluid properties (viscosity, conductivity ...)

  • Environmental flows:

  • Environmental impact studies for contaminant spills in sea or rivers

  • Impact of atmospheric emissions

  • Studies of air and water quality

  • Evaluation of wind turbines in an open wind tunnel and numerical simulation

  • Time series analysis:

  • Investigation of utility bills to detect fraud

  • Study of air pollution through the measurements in the public net of sensors

  • Fluctuations in sea level in ports due to weather changes and tides
