Fall 2014
Mineral carbon sequestration (MCS) is a type of carbon storage based on natural rock weathering processes where CO2, dissolved in rainwater, reacts with alkaline minerals to form solid carbonates. Although MCS has advantages over other carbon storage techniques, an economic MCS process has not...

Prebiotic-Chemistry Inspired Polymeric Coatings for the Surface Modification of Hydrophobic Polyethersulfone membranes for the Enhancement of their Antifouling and Antibacterial Properties
DownloadFall 2020
Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes are very commonly used for wastewater treatment because of their excellent mechanical, chemical and thermal properties. However, the major concern associated with these membranes is their susceptibility to fouling due to their intrinsic hydrophobicity. Therefore,...

Spring 2018
Microalloyed steels and heat treated steels are widely used in the pipeline industry. Microalloyed steels are a type of high strength low alloy steels containing small additions of C, N, Nb, Ti and other elements in amounts less than 0.1 wt%. They may also contain additions of other elements in...

Predicition of the molecular structure of ill-defined hydrocarbons using vibrational, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2009
This represents a proof-of-concept study of the appropriateness of vibrational and NMR spectroscopy for predicting the molecular structure of large molecules on the basis of a library of small molecules. Density Functional Theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311G was used generate all spectra. 20 model...

Fall 2013
There are currently no reliable methods for predicting liquid heat capacities of ill-defined hydrocarbons, such as bitumen and heavy crude oils and their partly processed fractions. Estimation techniques for liquid phase isobaric heat capacity of pure compounds include corresponding state and...

Prediction of the Active Layer Nanomorphology in Polymer Solar Cells Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadFall 2012
The most important factor that determines the efficiency of bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (PSC) is the active layer structure. Continuous domains of acceptor and donor material with thicknesses in the order of 10–30 nm must be formed to yield the highest efficiency in solar cells....

Predictive Control, Estimation and Sensor Placement of Large-Scale Transport-Reaction Systems
DownloadFall 2023
Advanced process control and monitoring rely on the accurate description of complex processes and their dynamic behaviors. Typically, numerous industrial processes are characterized by either partial differential equations (PDEs) or ordinary differential equations (ODEs), depending on whether...

Predictive Expressions for Residual Stress and Distortion in Welding and Related Thermal Processes
DownloadFall 2021
This work establishes the foundation for the estimation of forces and distortions induced by thermal processes, such as welding, as well as incorporates the effects of departure from idealizations. The Order of Magnitude Scaling (OMS) technique is applied to thermal-mechanical analysis of a...
