LOCAL FLUID STRESS AND NUTRIENT TRANSPORT EFFECTS VIA SIMULATIONS OF PERFUSION THROUGH BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING SCAFFOLDS
(2010)
Lattice Boltzmann Method and Lagrangian Scalar Tracking simulations were performed in order to characterize the mechanical and chemical microenvironments within two different types of bone tissue engineering polymer ...
PRODUCTION OF ALKYL-AROMATICS FROM LIGHT OXYGENATES OVER ZEOLITE CATALYSTS FOR BIO-OIL REFINING
(2010)
Upgrading of light oxygenates derived from biomass conversion, such as propanal and glycerol, to more valuable aromatics for biofuels has been demonstrated on zeolite catalysts. Aromatics with a high ratio of C9/(C8+C7) ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Aqueous Systems at the Solid-Liquid Interface
(2010)
Interfacial water properties determine a number of phenomena in geology, biological systems, and ion-exchange processes. The behavior of water at the solid-liquid interface plays an important role in multiple applications ...
Formation and Characterization of Vegetable Oil Microemulsions and Their Application in Oilseed Extraction and Biofuel
(2010)
Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable dispersions of oil and water stabilized by a film of surfactants and/or co-surfactants. They have numerous applications in food, oilseed extraction, drug and cosmetic delivery, ...
Properties of Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Theory Studies
(2010)
Supported metal nanoparticles play an important role in heterogeneous catalysis. In recent years, carbon nanotubes, because of their unique properties, have drawn interest as supports. The structural and dynamic properties ...
Catalytic Reactions for Upgrading Bio-oils and Petroleum Fuels
(2010)
The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has derived the tremendous interest of our society in making uses of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ...
Formation and Characterization of Vegetable Oil Microemulsions and Their Application in Oilseed Extraction and Biofuel
(2010)
Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable dispersions of oil and water stabilized by a film of surfactants and/or co-surfactants. They have numerous applications in food, oilseed extraction, drug and cosmetic delivery, ...
Surfactant Aggregate Morphology on Surfaces: Insights from Molecular Simulations
(2010)
Surfactants are an important class of molecules used in number of applications at a range of length scales. Oil recovery, mineral recovery, detergency are applications that have been using surfactants for decades, whereas ...
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 ...
