- This paper resulted in new collaborations with the Institute for Chemicals and Fuels from Alternative Resources, Western University in Canada (Profs Cedric Briens and Franco Berruti). It lead to further papers on Fuel Processing Technology (V133, 51–63) and Renewable Energy (V143, 1225-1234). It also lead to EPSRC funding (>£1M, EP/M01343X/1, 2015-2017). The paper resulted in award for the 1st Runner-up Prize for Xi Yu in the Annual Early Career Researcher Poster Competition event. The numerical and experimental results revealed distinct hydrodynamic features around the cone separator, allowing for up to 100% separation efficiency.
