Fall 2019
On-line analytical tools are needed to optimize the upgrading process. This technology could reduce environmental impacts, reduce costs, and enhance quality control of heavy oil feeds. Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, a well established ex-situ technique, is one example that could...

Experimental and molecular dynamics study of the interactions of lipid membranes and the pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B in model pulmonary surfactant systems
DownloadSpring 2018
The pulmonary surfactant exists as an active film, easing the work of lung by fast absorption and desorption during respiratory cycles, which the principle function of both the lipid and protein components is to reduce the surface tension of the air-liquid interface. The pulmonary surfactant is...

Experimental and numerical simulation of degradation of pollutants in water by microbubble-enhanced cold plasma activation -Degradation - Effect of pollutants’ initial concentration
DownloadSpring 2024
The necessity to secure reliable water resources has always been a challenge for human societies. Numerous factors contribute to heightened concerns, often resulting in serious crises for governments striving to ensure the provision of clean potable water for diverse purposes. At the same time,...

Fall 2015
The main aim of this work is experimental and numerical study of heat and mass transfer in fixed beds by the Joule heating effect, which is a volume-based type of heating rather than surface-based. This is aimed at looking more into energy storage technologies where electrical energy is stored as...

Fall 2017
Although evaporation is considered to be a surface phenomenon, the rate of molecular transport across a liquid–vapor boundary is strongly dependent on the coupled fluid dynamics and heat transfer in the bulk fluids. Recent experimental thermocouple measurements of the temperature field near the...

Experimental and numerical verifications of new methods to predict gasification kinetics of char from MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) components using the TGA
DownloadFall 2021
Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) is a standard state-of-the-art instrument used for investigating char gasification kinetics. However, one major flaw of the TGA is the build-up of a stagnant gas region between the empty space of the crucible mouth and the char sample layer which leads to poor...

Experimental Investigation on the Turbulence of Particle-Laden Liquid Flows in a Vertical Pipe Loop
DownloadSpring 2016
The turbulent motion of particles and their interactions with the turbulence of the carrier phase make a complex system. Hence understanding the physics and consequently developing a well-stablished model becomes very difficult. With insufficient computational power to numerically resolve all the...

Spring 2017
Heat distribution measurements in Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) were concurrently measured at the cathode and anode giving increased insight and prediction capabilities. A calorimeter and water cooled cathode were used to determine energy partitions in GMAW for various electrodes, currents,...
