Production of alcohols via syngas fermentation using Alkalibaculum bacchi monoculture and a mixed culture
(2013-12)
Gasification-syngas fermentation is a hybrid conversion technology. In this process, feedstocks such as biomass or municipal solid waste are gasified to syngas (CO, H2 and CO2), which is then converted into biofuels and ...
Mineralogical and Resource Procurement Study of Pre-Civil War Fort Construction Using Stone and Mortar in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
Much is known about the arduous lifestyles of the early nineteenth century United States soldier. However, little is known of the actual laborious fort construction methods these soldiers used as they upgraded from lumber-only ...
Explicit finite element analysis of web-roller interaction in web process machinery
(2013-05)
A web can be defined as thin material manufactured and processed in continuous flexible strip form. A web is usually supported, guided and propelled by rollers. In order to make it travel through the process machine line, ...
Simulation of Lakes and Surface Water Heat Exchangers for Design of Surface Water Heat Pump Systems
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
Surface Water Heat Pump (SWHP) system utilize surface water bodies, such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and the sea, as heat sources and/or sinks. These systems may be open-loop, circulating water between the surface water body ...
Model of the food hygiene transfer process
(2013-12)
Analyses of food-borne disease notification throughout the world have confirmed that there is a link between outbreaks and unsafe food handling practices in the foodservice industry. For many years industry has relied on ...
Hydrogeophysical Evidence of Groundwater Convection in the Nacimiento Fault
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-07-01)
Theory exists for unstable convective motion in porous and fractured media, and has been detected in the field as fluid fingers in porous media. Groundwater convective theory is limited though due to a lack of field evidence ...
