Novel Plasma Based Technology for Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Water: Understanding Physiochemical Processes and Applications
DownloadSpring 2017
Indiscriminate and widespread disposal of pharmaceutical compounds, dye molecules, and pesticides in to water resources pose a serious threat to the quality of drinking water. A critical need exists for developing novel practical, efficient, and cost effective water treatments for remediation of...

NUMERICAL AND SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODELING OF PARTICLES UNDERGOING PHASE CHANGE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CONVECTION
DownloadFall 2016
This work is devoted to the development and validation of subgrid models describing heat and mass transfer between the bulk flow of gas/liquid and a moving particle undergoing phase change under the influence of free/mixed/forced convection. Such kind of submodels plays the role of ’scale...

Spring 2015
This work presents the numerical study of chemically reacting char particles in dense particulate media applied to fixed and fluidized beds. Our main goal was to approximate 3D fixed bed particles into 2D axisymmetric geometry using a representative element, which is found in Chapter 1. Dry air...

Obtaining Temperature Dependence of Cell Membrane Permeability Parameters Using Non-Ideal Thermodynamic Assumptions to Mathematically Model Real Cryopreservation Protocols
DownloadSpring 2023
Cryopreservation is the process of preserving biological matter such as cells, tissues, and organs, at sub-zero temperatures for long-term storage. Cells at low temperatures are susceptible to mechanical damage due to intracellular ice formation and osmotic injuries related to increasing...
