Modeling Oscillatory Flow in a Cone-and-Plate Device Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2019-05-11)
Calcific aortic heart valve disease has been investigated in literature over the past three decades. Researches have been trying to understand the mechanism by which the calcification occurs on the aortic valve leaflets. ...
Examining the Microstructure, Aggregation, and Viscoelastic Gelling Behavior of Mucin Solutions
(2019-08)
Mucin solutions offer a simplified, yet still very complex, opportunity to study the microstructural and mechanical properties of mucosal fluids. The complex viscoelastic behavior of mucus is a result of electrostatic and ...
A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of the Hydrogen Bond Networks in Water-Glycerol Mixtures
(2019-05-11)
Molecular Dynamics simulations are performed over a wide range of water-glycerol concentrations to observe the intermolecular hydrogen bond (H-bond) populations at each concentration. The measured values from simulations ...
Water Enhancement of Hydrocarbon Cracking Reactions on ZSM-5
(2019-07)
Catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons is an extremely important process for the production of fuels and commodity chemicals from petroleum feedstocks. The effects of water on these reactions has been studied before at high ...
EFFECT OF BIOMASS COMPOSITION ON HEMICELLULOSE, CELLULOSE, AND LIGNIN DERIVED THERMAL PRODUCTS VIA TORREFACTION/PYROLYSIS
(2019-07-25)
Modern industrialization has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for petroleum-based fuel production and electricity generation. Exploitation of fossil fuel reserves have, however, raised grave environmental concerns due ...
