Mantilla, Ivan (2012-10-19)The scale of the energy business today and a favorable and promising economic environment for the production of natural gas, requires study of the thermophysical behavior of fluids: sophisticated experimentation yielding ...
-
Palughi, Andrew Joseph (2022-07-10)Polymer materials can be an effective resource for thermal management applications. Polymers are generally thermal insulators in their bulk form (amorphous or partially crystalline), but they can have a large range of ...
-
Reyes Valdes, Olga Juliana (2016-04-08)Several of the most catastrophic process safety incidents, such as Bhopal and most recently Texas West Fertilizer explosion, were initiated by runaway reactions. Consequences of such incidents include, fatalities, environmental ...
-
Kim, Dong Keun (2009-05-15)An insulation technique has been developed which contains a single or combination of materials to help minimize heat loss in actual industrial applications. For the petroleum industry, insulation for deep sea piping is one ...
-
Gao, Peipei (2016-08-08)Doped binary oxides (DBOs) with fluorite structures, such as doped ceria (CeO2) or zirconia (ZrO2), are widely used in different electrochemical devices such as solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen sensors, and gas separation ...
-
Petit De Servins D'Hericour, Tristan Christo (2017-12-12)Corrosion control of buried assets usually involves a redundant shield: a coating system as a physical barrier, and a cathodic protection system as an ad hoc defense. Characterization and localization of defects in the ...
-
Chen, Di (2014-12-18)The study is aimed to understand atomic scale details of defect-boundary interactions, which are critical to develop radiation tolerant fuel cladding materials for harsher neutron environments. By means of molecular dynamics ...
-
Njoroge, Jean L (2013-08-12)Exposure to high impact velocity is the principle limiting factor of material performance in ballistic applications for use in civilian and defense industries. Graphene has emerged as a material of scientific interest due ...
-
Williams, Kristen (2012-10-19)Engineering new solid propellant materials requires optimization of several factors, to include energy density, burn rate, sensitivity, and environmental impact. Equally important is the need for materials that will maintain ...

Leng, Han (2017-12-04)Palladium hydrogen system has unique catalytic activities and up to 1:1 hydrogen adsorption capability. It is studied in the context of hydrogen embrittlement, which is a subset of stress corrosion cracking, with classical ...
-
Awasthi, Amnaya P. (2011-02-22)The research presented in this dissertation pertains to the evaluation of stiffness of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a multiscale framework and modeling of the interfacial mechanical behavior in CNT-polymer nanocomposites. ...
-
Haskins, Justin (2013-01-11)A first approach to engineering problems in nanosized systems requires a thorough understanding of how physical properties change as size decreases from the macroscale. One important class of properties that can be severely ...
-
Chakrabarty, Arnab (2010-10-12)Polymer nanocomposites refer to a broad range of composite materials with polymer acting as the matrix and any material which has at least one dimension in the order of 1 ~ 100 nanometer acting as the filler. Due to ...
