Setup and Validation of Flow Cell Systems for Biofouling Simulation in Industrial Settings
A biofouling simulation system consisting of a flow cell and a recirculation tank was used. The fluid circulates at a flow rate of 350 L⋅ h−1 in a semicircular flow cell with hydraulic diameter of 18.3 mm, corresponding to an average velocity of 0.275 m⋅ s−1. Using computational fluid dynamics for f...
