Hydrogen Production in Supercritical Water
(2011-04-15)
Hydrogen has been considered as an environmentally friendly energy carrier for the future. It is not found freely in nature but must be obtained by processing hydrogen containing compounds. Current industrial-scale ...
Modeling and Optimization of Novel Fuel Production Strategies
(2011-10-18)
Environmental problems such as global warming and fossil fuel shortage are some of the biggest challenges that human beings are facing nowadays. Alternative fuels are the potential answer to many future energy needs and ...
Incorporating Green Chemistry Principles in Heterogeneous Catalysis Operations
(2011-08-25)
Many commercial processes for the production of chemicals involve harsh organic solvents as well as numerous by-products that are detrimental to the environment. For many years it was common practice to implement a process ...
Material Compatibility for Passive Two-Phase Immersion Cooling Applications
(2014-03-04)
The objective of this work was to investigate potential material compatibility issues related to immersion cooling for high performance computing applications. Extended exposure of potential performance computing components ...
Microfibrous Entrapped Catalysts and Sorbents: Microstructured Heterogeneous Contacting Systems with Enhanced Efficiency
(2009-02-23)
Catalyst/adsorbent particles were entrapped in sinter-locked networks of
microfibers to form composite materials for use in heterogeneous catalysis and adsorption applications. These novel microstructured materials called ...
Molecular Bonding in Product Engineering
(2009-02-23)
Molecular Bonding plays an important role in the performance of product and chemical processes. Various types of bonds are: ionic bond, covalent bond, co-ordinate bond, metallic bond, van der Waal’s bond and hydrogen bond. ...
Low Temperature Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Using Microfibrous Entrapped Catalysts for Fire Escape Mask Application
(2009-02-23)
The prime reason for life casualties in fire is not the fire itself but poisoning caused by presence of carbon monoxide. It has been reported by American Medical Association that CO causes about 2100 deaths per year and ...
Effect of Process Parameters on Methanol to Olefins Reactions over SAPO Catalysts
(2009-02-23)
Acidic catalysts such as silicoaluminophosphate oxides (SAPO) have been known to play an essential role in olefins synthesis reactions. Because of their unique selectivity towards light olefins, these SAPO catalysts offer ...
Radio Frequency Heating for Dehydration and Pest Control of In-Shell Peanuts
(2009-02-23)
For many decades conventional wagon drying (curing) systems or batch/continuous flow drying systems have been used for peanut dehydration. Both are time and energy consuming. Radio Frequency (RF) dielectric heating has ...
Electrochemical Characterization and Modelling of Fuel Cells via AC Impedance and Residence Time Distribution
(2009-02-23)
The performance of commercially available fuel cells was tested under a variety of test conditions and models were formulated to explain the experimental results. Several techniques were applied to single cells and groups ...
