Comparative Gibbsian composite-system thermodynamics for confined and unconfined multicomponent multiphase systems
DownloadSpring 2019
The behavior of multiphase multicomponent systems can be well predicted by Gibbsian composite-system thermodynamics. This approach is used in this thesis to study three different systems of interest: (i) nanobubbles on a flat solid surface submerged in a liquid solution at constant temperature...

Comparative Surface Thermodynamic Analysis of New Fluid Phase Formation in Various Confining Geometries
DownloadSpring 2012
For a pure bulk (unconfined) fluid, phase transition happens at the saturation pressure. In contrast, for a fluid inside a confinement of small size (commonly below micrometers), vapour and liquid coexistence may happen at pressures other than the saturation pressure; or an expected phase...

Comparing Long Chain Branching Mechanisms for Ethylene Polymerization with Metallocene Catalysts: What Simulated Microstructures Can Teach Us
DownloadFall 2018
The versatility of polyethylene stems from the diversity of its microstructure that can be characterized by its molecular weight averages and distribution, long chain branching, and short chain branching. In an ideal scenario, one would want to predict the polymerization parameters needed to...

Composite System Thermodynamics of Multiphase Droplet Systems Relevant to Emerging Technologies
DownloadFall 2014
Droplets exist widely in our everyday life and various industries. Numerous studies have been done to explore droplet systems and among them Gibbsian surface thermodynamics is a powerful means to investigate these highly curved systems. Due to the development of modern technologies and the...

Comprehensive study of the abrasive wear and slurry erosion behavior of an expanded system of high chromium cast iron and microstructural modification for enhanced wear resistance
DownloadSpring 2014
High chromium cast irons (HCCIs) have been demonstrated to be an effective material for a wide range of applications in aggressive environments, where resistances to abrasion, erosion and erosion-corrosion are required. For instance, machinery and facilities used in mining and extraction in...

Spring 2017
Au, Ag, Hg, many other metals, diamond, coal, oil and tar sands are extracted by flotation process. We can define flotation as a single, most significant unit operation in mineral processing, used in extraction of all kinds of minerals. A study of air bubble dynamics and gas-liquid multiphase...

The majority of industrial chemical rectors are based on the packed bed reactor. This is the main reason why these types of reactors have been a subject of so many investigations. They are primarily used because of their simplicity at the moment of their design, build and operation (Hayes, 2013)....

Fall 2017
High Chromium Cast Irons (HCCIs) are widely used in mineral processing, slurry pumping and manufacturing processes, where high resistance to erosion and synergetic erosion-corrosion is required. The excellent performance of HCCIs results from their microstructure, which consists of hard carbides...
