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, ...
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT BLOOD FLOW AND HEMOLYSIS IN BIOMEDICAL DEVICES
(2015-12-18)
Turbulent blood flow in medical devices contributes to blood trauma, yet the exact mechanism(s) have not been fully elucidated. Local turbulent stresses, viscous stresses, and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYETHOXYLATED ALKYL PHENOLS WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF ETHOXYLATION AT THE SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE
(2016-05)
Fully characterizing the behavior of a surfactant, from the mechanism of adsorption to the formation of micelles, is vital when taking the surfactant out of the lab and into the real world. The critical micelle concentration, ...
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 ...
MULTISCALE SIMULATIONS OF HEAT TRANSFER IN NANOCOMPOSITES
(2012)
The field of nanotechnology has been expanded by the discovery of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the 20th century. Geim and Novoselov won the Nobel prize in 2010 for their work on graphene sheets (GSs). Those ...
Study of transport phenomena in turbulent channel flows using Direct Numerical Simulation and Lagrangian Scalar Tracking
(2016-05-13)
In this study, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Lagrangian Scalar Tracking (LST) method are used simultaneously to study fundamental transport phenomena in turbulent channel flows. Area of study covers drag reduction ...
Zeolite-Catalyzed Surface Chemistry in Alkane Isomerization and Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons Catalysis
(2013)
Zeolite catalysts are eminently vital to production of liquid transportation fuels and commodity chemicals. In each particular application, the surface reactions catalyzed by the zeolite determine its productivity. It is ...
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 ...
SURFACTANT-ONLY EOR FOR HIGH SALINITY BRINE
(2015)
Developing a surfactant formulation for reservoir having high salinity/total dissolved solids (TDS) brine is a challenging task because surfactant not only phase separate or precipitate but also show high adsorption on ...
CONTROLLED GROWTH AND METROLOGY OF CARBON NANOTUBES ON SUPPORTED Co-Mo CATALYSTS
(2011)
Studies related to selectivity assessment and yield upgrade of different types of Carbon Nanotubes have been conducted in order to determine the optimum supported Co-Mo catalysts design to achieve the desired performance.
