Understanding the mechanism of bubble-particle interactions plays a critical role in advancing flotation technology. In this study, submicron size bubbles with an average diameter less than 1 μm and a life time of at least several hours were generated using a novel hydrodynamic cavitation method....

Archard’s wear equation has been widely used in industry for preliminary selection of materials mainly based on hardness. According to Archard’s equation, the material wear rate is linearly proportional to the normal force. However, the wear rate or material volume loss per unit sliding distance...

Nanofibers are fibers with diameters lower than 100 nm, traditionally made from natural or synthetic polymers. Properties of nanofibers, such as low density, controllable surface functionality, and high surface area to volume ratio, allowed researchers to use them in a multitude of applications...

Interfacial properties have a regulatory role in processes which involve the coexistence of different phases. Although such macro-scale properties are determined by the intrinsic nature of the interface-sharing phases, it is possible to alter them in favor of the process objectives. This,...

As a candidate for dynamic electric contacts, Nano-twinned copper has intrinsic conductivity and enhanced fretting resistance. To better understand its general mechanical behavior, we conduct molecular dynamics simulation studies to investigate responses of nano-twinned copper to stress and to...

Employing the molecular dynamics simulation method, we investigated the responses of nano-scaled Cu systems, including single crystal(SC), and crystals with twin boundaries(TW) and grain boundaries(GB) to cyclic deformation in different strain ranges. Bauschinger’s effect occurring during the...

The demand for a new solvent to treat oilsands was behind the purpose of this project; molecular dynamics simulation was used in this study. Supercritical water, supercritical carbon dioxide and other selected organic solvents in their supercritical state were studied. Meso-tetraphenyl porphyrin...

Water lubricated pipe flow technology is an economic alternative for the long distance transportation of viscous oils like heavy oil and bitumen. The lubricated flow regime involves an oil-rich core surrounded by a turbulent water annulus. Energy consumption associated with this type of pipeline...
