Characterization of petroleum refinery LP results under conditions of degeneracy
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study
Dynamic aspects of sprays for absorption applications
(2015-05)
Spray columns show potential for absorption applications such as CO2 capture because of the low gas phase pressure drop and resistivity to the corrosive action of amine solvents such as Monoethanolamine (MEA) due to the ...
Leapfrogging with improved initialization and its applications: Demonstration of leapfrogging on horizon predictive control of a heat exchanger
(2014-07)
Leapfrogging (LF) is a recently developed optimization technique that initially places players in random spots in the feasible decision variable space [1]. The approach to reach the global optimum is by "Leaping" the player ...
Development of an integrated approach for modeling gas adsorption and coal swelling
(2015-05)
Accurate descriptions of gas adsorption, adsorbent swelling and permeability in coalbed reservoirs are essential for the optimal design of enhanced natural gas recovery and CO2 sequestration processes. In practice, reservoir ...
Design, assembly and characterization of composite structures of barium titanate and nickel
(2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Three dimensional, heterogeneous, geometrically complex ceramic-metal composite structures are fabricated by assembly of aqueous colloidal gels of barium titanate and nickel, followed by densification ...
Shape evolution of 3D periodic structure fabricated by direct-write assembly of concentrated colloidal gels
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: 3D periodic structures were fabricated by direct-write assembly of concentrated colloidal gels with self-supporting features. The rheological behavior of the gel was characterized in linear ...
Quantitative structure-property relationship generalized activity coefficient models
(2014-05)
Phase behavior properties of chemical species and their mixtures are essential to design chemical processes involving multiple phases. Thermodynamic models are used in phase equilibria calculations to determine properties, ...
Deterministic models to explain the phenomenon of interfacial mixing in refined products pipelines
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study:
Phenotypic and genotypic alterations of mature cells dispersed in injectable zonal hydrogels mimicking the cartilage matrix composition
(2015-05)
Cartilage is a soft multilayered tissue found in the articular capsule of joint areas. Physical activity and osteoarthritis (OA) can damage and deteriorate the avascular, metabolically low tissue. Because of this, chondrocytes ...
Development of a multi criteria process design framework for sustainable design and synthesis of processes
(2012-12)
A methodology is proposed to address sustainability concerns with special intention to chemical process design. Through this methodology, aspects of sustainability are evaluated with sustainability metrics which are ...
