Analysis of nitric oxide transfer and release rate for a cysteine modified polymer
(2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study: In order to improve the haemocompatibility of biomaterials so that platelet adhesion on the surface can be minimized, a cysteine (CySH) modified polymer was developed previously and preliminary ...
Modeling web handling systems and a method for determining feedback controller gains
(2020-07)
Modeling the longitudinal dynamics and control of web handling systems requires accurate models of the primitive elements involved, and an understanding of the processes used for speed and tension control. Primitive elements ...
Incorporating the interfacial friction angle concept into the PDC single cutter and full bit modeling
(2019-12)
Over the past century, oil and gas served an important role in the US energy sector. The oil industry continually has worked to reduce the drilling cost by increasing drilling efficiency. Drilling is a time-consuming and ...
Development of tools to accelerate and advance modeling disease progression
(2020-12)
Disease pathology emerges from complex interactions at multiple scales including the cellular level, tissue level, and organ level. Multiscale modeling seeks to capture emergent phenomena by coupling models of differing ...
Evaluating the Impacts of Variable Irrigation Management Strategies on the Performance of Cotton and Grain Sorghum Using Monitoring and Modeling Techniques
(2019-05-01)
Diminishing water resources have threatened irrigated agriculture in many semi-arid and arid regions across the globe. In these regions, both surface and groundwater resources have declined due to persistent droughts and ...
Modeling and simulation of knowledge worker attention for evaluation of email processing strategies
(2005-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Even small gains in the efficient management of email can have big impacts on organizations because of the volume of email received by most knowledge workers. This study proposed that 1) knowledge ...
Accelerating convergence of leapfrogging optimization - Applications to nonlinear process modeling and nonlinear model predictive control
(2014-07)
Conventionally used optimization methods in chemical engineering applications such as linear programming (LP), Levenberg-Marquardt and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) handle nonlinear objective function (OF) surfaces ...
Development and validation of a reduced order fin-and-tube heat exchanger model
(2020-05)
Vapor compression systems are the most widely used cooling system type in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) applications. Two of the four basic components of a vapor compression system are heat exchangers, ...
Experimental investigation and simulation of a fluidized-bed gasifier using switchgrass
(2013-12)
The overall goal of this research was to improve and optimize yield and composition of syngas generated from biomass gasification using an autothermal lab-scale fluidized-bed gasifier, and to develop a biomass gasification ...
Wet scrubbing of biomass producer gas tars using vegetable oil
(2014-05)
The overall aims of this research study were to generate novel design data and to develop an equilibrium stage-based thermodynamic model of a vegetable oil based wet scrubbing system for the removal of model tar compounds ...
