Melt Blowing with Louvers and their Effects on Fiber Attenuation and Motion
(2017-12)
A physical plateau in the air field below a melt blowing die was imposed by airfoil shaped louvers. These louvers prevented air jet spreading and imposed a constant average air velocity on the polymer filament, resulting ...
Hydrogen Peroxide and Water Interaction with Carbon Nitride
(2020-05-07)
This study aims to understand the behavior of a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide with effects from a carbon nitride catalyst using classical molecular dynamics. Hydrogen peroxide’s wide range of use drives the need ...
CARBOXYLIC ACID KETONIZATION ON ZEOLITES
(2016-05)
Carboxylic acids contained in crude oil and bio oil present significant corrosion and handling problems. It is necessary that the acid content is reduced in the bio-oil for upgrading. One potential method is to convert ...
QUANTIFICATION OF NON-IDEAL MIXING IN SODIUM DI (2-ETHYLHEXYL) SULFOSUCCINATE – ANIONIC SURFACTANT MIXTURES
(2017-05)
HLD equation was first introduced by Salager [1], however for predicting the HLD parameters from known parameters of a surfactant in a binary anionic-anionic mixture, Acosta [8] suggested linear mixing rules which can be ...
CARBON NANOTUBES AND MAGNETIC PARTICLES AS PICKERING EMULSION STABILIZERS: PARTICLE CONTROL FOR PHASE SELECTIVE REACTIONS
(2016-05-13)
Interest in the use of two phase reaction systems for the production of biofuels and specialty chemicals from biomass has been increasing over the past several years, specifically in circumstances in which the feedstock ...
Further Exploration of Heat of Immersion as a Method To Quantify Wettability For Particulates: Effect of Temperature
(2023-05-12)
A previous paper by our group concluded that to distinguish between the wettability of different particles, heat of immersion is the best method as opposed to the Washburn or sessile drop method. In this paper, heats of ...
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 ...
Exploring hemolysis due to paravalvular leakage in artificial heart valves
(2020-12-18)
Artificial heart valves require a surgical suture to keep them in place. These sutures can become infected or degrade over time, which can give rise to the phenomenon of paravalvular leakage. The defect compromising flow ...
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 ...
