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 ...
Bioprinting cell laden structures with chitosan-gelatin for neural tissue applications
(2018-07)
Nearly 1 billion people suffer from neurological disorders, and approximately 400,000 patients require surgical intervention to repair damaged peripheral nerves every year. There is a need, therefore, for three-dimensional ...
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, ...
Influence of Surfactant-Nanoparticle Interactions on Emulsion Behavior with Applications to Flow Assurance
(2019-05)
Emulsions have wide industrial applications such as those in paints, cosmetics, food, energy, and pharmaceuticals. The surfactant-nanoparticle interactions play a critical role in determining the stability of the interfacial ...
Deterministic models to explain the phenomenon of interfacial mixing in refined products pipelines
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study:
Modeling biphasic reactors, emulsions and selection of solvents
(2017-07)
Modeling biphasic reactors (BPRs) facilitates understanding the dynamics between the kinetics and component phase distribution between the two partially miscible phases of the reactor. Using experimental results for bio ...
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 ...
Sweet sorghum bioethanol production: Research, demonstration, and operational issues
(2014-12)
Sweet sorghum or Sorghum bicolor (L) moench is sugar rich, grows with minimal inputs, and is suitable for cultivation in dry regions making it a desirable energy crop for Oklahoma. In-field fermentation of sweet sorghum ...
Phenomenological model for fraction jetting on distillation sieve trays for multi-regime mass transfer modeling applications
(2011-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Predicting the fraction of the vapor transported as jets, or fraction jetting, on a distillation tray operating in the mixed-froth regime has several advantages. The fraction jetting model can ...
