Equilibrium and Transport Properties of Systems Containing Graphene Sheets (-Oil Nanocomposites and Membranes) from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Konatham, Deepthi (2014-12-12)Graphene sheets belong to an interesting class of materials. Their exceptional properties, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, mechanical strength etc., could play an important role in multiple applications, ... -
INVESTIGATING THE SYNTHESIS OF TRANSITION METAL OXIDE NANOSTRUCTURES IN A COUNTER-FLOW FLAME
Farmahini-Farahani, Moien (2014-05-09)In this dissertation, the synthesis and growth mechanisms of various transition metal oxide (TMO) nanostructures inside a counter-flow flame medium were investigated. Transition metal oxide nanostructures with distinctive ... -
A MICROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF WETTABILITY IN SHALE KEROGEN WITH VARYING MATURITY LEVELS AND ITS ROLE IN GOVERNING FLUID DISTRIBUTION
Hu, Yinan (2014-12)Kerogen is defined as the insoluble macromolecular organic matter in sedimentary rocks and is a complex mixture of organic chemical compounds. The process of kerogen maturation is accompanied by the loss of functionalized ... -
STABILITY OF A DROPLET PINNED IN A CHANNEL UNDER GRAVITY
Hekiri, Haider (2012)The stability of a two-dimensional, incompressible water droplet, with two cylindrical-caps that is pinned in a channel, is investigated through the development of an analytical model based on Yong-Laplace relationship. ... -
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
Pham, Ngoc (2014-12-12)In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
