Study of transport phenomena in turbulent channel flows using Direct Numerical Simulation and Lagrangian Scalar Tracking
(2016-05-13)
In this study, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Lagrangian Scalar Tracking (LST) method are used simultaneously to study fundamental transport phenomena in turbulent channel flows. Area of study covers drag reduction ...
Removal of Residual Oil From Produced Water Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
(2019-08)
The production of wastewater during hydrocarbon recovery is an unresolvable factor of the oil and gas industry. Oil wells in the US produce on average, nearly 10 barrels of water for every 1 barrel of oil. Most of the ...
Understanding Catalytic Strategies for Bio-oil Upgrading: Model Compound Studies
(2014-08-15)
In light of the awareness about climate change and the role that non-renewable sources of energy have had on this issue, there has been a notable effort in the last decades to develop alternative sources of energy. Conversion ...
ENHANCEMENT OF ZEOLITE CATALYZED REACTIONS FROM WATER CLUSTERS AND BRONSTED SITE PROXIMITY
(2018)
Zeolites offer many benefits as a catalyst. The adjustable acid sites in zeolites and its well-defined pore structure allows for a fine-tuning of the catalytic performance. The activity and selectivity of several reactions ...
RHEOLOGY OF AQUEOUS AND POLYMER-BASED NITROGEN FOAMS AT HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HPHT) CONDITIONS
(2017-05-12)
Foams are complex mixtures of gas and liquid held together by a surfactant at the gas-water interface. The use of foams find application in many industrial operations such as underbalanced drilling fluid, fracturing fluid ...
DEVELOPMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURED ENZYMATIC BIOFUEL CELLS
(2014-12-12)
Nanostructured enzymatic biofuel cells with high power density output and prolonged lifetime were developed by the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into redox polymer-enzyme films. The performance of the enzymatic biofuel ...
Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Lithium Ion Composite Cathodes
(2014-08-13)
Batteries are sought that can deliver high energy density and high power density over thousands of cycles, with minimum environmental impact and cost. Invariably no one material can achieve all of these requirements. Lithium ...
MIXED METAL CARBIDES: UNDERSTANDING THE SYNTHESIS, SURFACE PROPERTIES AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITIES
(2015-08)
Metal carbides are formed when carbon is inserted into the lattice of the metal, and metal-carbon bonds are formed. In fact, formation of the carbon-metal bonds causes a change in the electronic structure of the metal in ...
