Mathematical modeling and experimental validation of thin low platinum content and functionally graded cathode catalyst layers
DownloadFall 2014
Low catalyst content remains a key requirement for the commercialization of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) into the energy, transportation, and material handling sectors. Understanding the fundamental phenomena reducing fuel cell performance at various stages of operation play a major...

Drop transfer from one solid surface to another through stretching liquid bridges between them is important for many industrial applications. Due to the different dominate forces, three possible regimes exist: Quasi-static Regime, where the transfer process is only dominated by surface forces;...

Measurement of Regional Deformation and Volume Change of Donor Lungs during Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Using a Stereo Vision Method
DownloadFall 2022
Lung transplant is a critical treatment that remains the only option for patients with end-state pulmonary illness. This treatment is underutilized because of a shortage of suitable donor lungs, leading to patients succumbing to illness while on the waitlist. Supply is limited by overly...

It is common for face masks to be used in conditions that mask manufacturers did not intend, such as multiple donning of masks during supply shortage, but the mask performance in varying usage conditions are typically not regulated and assumed beneficial without the quantification of the actual...

Measurements of Methane Pyrolysis in a Constant Volume Batch Reactor at High Temperatures and Pressures
DownloadFall 2021
Methane pyrolysis is a process used to generate hydrogen gas and carbon black without the creation of carbon dioxide. Methane pyrolysis in a constant volume batch reactor was investigated at temperatures of 892 K, 1093 K, and 1292 K with reaction times of 15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 180 s, and 300 s with...

Measurements of Total Aerosol Deposition and Validation of Airway Resistance Models in Anatomically Realistic Intrathoracic Conducting Airway Replicas of Children
DownloadSpring 2015
Akhavan Taheri Borojeni, Azadeh
One objective of this research was to obtain a correlation that quantitatively predicts micrometer-sized aerosol particle deposition in the upper conducting airways (trachea to generation 3) of children. Experiments were conducted using steady inhalation air flow rates to measure the deposition...

Measuring black carbon mixing states using a tandem centrifugal particle mass analyzer and single particle soot photometer system
DownloadSpring 2023
This work aimed to improve the evaluation of atmospheric black carbon (BC) mixing states by using a tandem Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer (CPMA), and Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) system. To derive a BC mixing state using the CPMA SP2 system, the measurements should be deconvolved...
