Nicewicz, P., Sano, T., Hogan, James D.
The quasi-static compaction response of granular stainless steel 316 was studied under triaxial loading conditions using a confined crucible experiment apparatus, specifically looking at effects of the particle size (127 ± 34 μm, 309 ± 88 μm, 487 ± 98 μm)on mechanical behavior. The material...

This thesis presents a thorough examination of the corrosion and fouling behaviour of crude oil at refining conditions on industrially applicable heat transfer surfaces. The depletion of light sweet crude oil reserves means that the processing of ever heavier and more sour crude oils is...

Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in most industries. Excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel is due to the formation of an oxide film on the surface (passive film), which protects the material from continuous corrosion attacks. When subjected to an attack...

Studying the Microstructure of Electrodes for Low-temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Electrolysis Applications
DownloadFall 2022
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is an important developing technology for energy conversion. This research was mainly focused on improving the fuel or air electrode of SOFCs in order to reduce the degradation rates and operation temperature. In chapters 3 and 4, a highly conductive...
