Modelling of reactive absorption in gas-liquid flows on structured packing
No full textCarbon capture & storage (CCS) is at the technological forefront in the challenge of reducing carbon emissions. The most viable approach to implementing CCS within existing coal and natural gas power stations is the post-combustion capture of CO2 by absorption into amine solutions within packed column absorbers.CFD modelling is an important aspect in the design and optimisation of this process. However, significant challenges arise due to the large range of spatial scales and the complexity of the physics being modelled. Therefore, simplification of the problem is required to complete such simulations using the computational resources currently available.This thesis explores some of the approaches used to model flow within packed columns. It concludes that, with current computing resources, standard modelling approaches are not viable for large scale simulations of CCS. This led to the development of the Enhanced Surface Film (ESF) model. The ESF approach was able to simulate chemically enhanced absorption of gaseous species into thin liquid films. The method significantly reduced the computational resources required and is a significant step to enable future researchers to model larger domains in CCS.The ESF approach has wide ranging applications due to the ubiquitous nature of liquid films across the industrial and environmental sectors. In many industries the dynamics of thin liquid films play a crucial role in the overall performance. Further applications may include thin film microreactors, surface coating, biofluids and medical applications

Common Law among the Statutes: The Lord Cooke Lecture 2007
No full textThis article is based on the 6th Lord Cooke Lecture, delivered in the Law School of the Victoria University of Wellington on 5 December 2007. The author discusses the relationship between common law and statute, a topic in which Lord Cooke had a real interest and on which he and the author discussed in person. 
Higher proneness to multisensory illusions is driven by reduced temporal sensitivity in people with high schizotypal traits
No full textA coherent sense of self, typically altered in schizophrenia, is accompanied by a coherent ability to integrate sensory information. According to the idea of a psychosis continuum, high schizotypal traits in the general population may be associated to higher proneness to multisensory illusions, akin to schizophrenia. We directly tested this hypothesis by means of the double-flash illusion in participants with low and high schizotypal scores. We confirmed the higher proneness to illusions in the high-schizotypal group. Crucially, such higher proneness was fully explained by a significantly reduced temporal sensitivity to integrate sensory information. We conclude that reduced temporal sensitivity accounts for enhanced proneness to illusions in people at higher risk and represents an early marker of psychosis
