Investigation of Flow through Complicated Microfluidic Devices and over Micropatterned Surfaces using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2015-12)
Computational fluid dynamics is used to study two distinct areas of engineering interest: microfluidic systems involving superhydrophobic surfaces and blood pumps. Superhydrophobic surfaces, which can induce slip at ...
UPGRADING OF BIOMASS-DERIVED MOLECULES FOR FUELS VIA HYDRODEOXYGENATION ON SUPPORTED METALS
(2010)
Biomass-derived molecules such as aldehydes and alcohols have been upgraded to more valuable products via hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation on supported metals. For unsaturated aldehydes, the competitive hydrogenation ...
Advanced Optimization Tools for the Design and Retrofit of Process Plants Water Networks
(2009)
Water is extensively used in industry and due to its increasing cost and the continuous quality deterioration of the available freshwater sources; its use is becoming also a cost concern in industries. An alternative to ...
Development of a Novel Ex Vivo Scaffold for the Regeneration of Periodontal Tissues
(2011)
Burgeoning knowledge of the principles of tissue engineering has enabled periodontal surgeons to evolve from resective therapies to more regenerative approaches to treat the periodontal diseases that afflict a large portion ...
Non-oxidative conversion of methane in a DC plasma reactor.
(2004)
The interest in natural gas utilization has increased tremendously over the last decade. Natural gas is being looked at as an energy source, as well as a basis for the production of many chemicals. New technologies are ...
Relationship between the micro-structure of cobalt-molybdenum catalysts supported on silica and the selectivity towards single-walled carbon nanotubes.
(2007)
The ability to selectively produce a specific (n, m) helicity of SWNT is a major break through for the industry and research. In this contribution we investigated the requirements needed for having high selectivity of SWNT ...
NANOPARTICLES ADSORBED AT THE OIL/WATER INTERFACE: INSIGHTS FROM DISSIPATIVE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS
(2014)
Nanoparticles (NPs) can stabilize the so-called Pickering emulsions. These emulsions are used in many applications, including biofuel upgrading, material synthesis, food preservations and pharmaceutical processes. The ...
Application of the local-composition model to a generalized equation of state for representing vapor-liquid equilibria of nonideal mixtures /
(1984)
The statistical-mechanical local composition model has been applied to describe the composition dependence of a recently developed equation of state for use in vapor-liquid equilibria calculations. The composition-dependence ...
