Simultaneous cracking of phenolic compounds and hydrocarbons over zeolites
(2014)
Co-processing bio-oils with hydrocarbons in conventional refinery processes has been considered as a promising strategy for upgrading and producing fuels from alternative sources. Co-feeding the phenolic fraction to the ...
TENDON TISSUE ENGINEERING: AN INVESTIGATION INTO ENHANCED BIOREACTOR CULTURE AND CONSTRUCT STIMULATION TECHNIQUES
(2014-06)
Tendon tissue engineering is a field that arose as there became a need for alternatives for surgical grafts utilized in injured tendon treatments. This is due to either underperforming current technology of off the shelf ...
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
(2014-12-12)
In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
Equilibrium and Transport Properties of Systems Containing Graphene Sheets (-Oil Nanocomposites and Membranes) from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(2014-12-12)
Graphene sheets belong to an interesting class of materials. Their exceptional properties, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, mechanical strength etc., could play an important role in multiple applications, ...
DEVELOPMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURED ENZYMATIC BIOFUEL CELLS
(2014-12-12)
Nanostructured enzymatic biofuel cells with high power density output and prolonged lifetime were developed by the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into redox polymer-enzyme films. The performance of the enzymatic biofuel ...
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 ...
