Han, Duanduan (2020-04-13)3D printing can manufacture polymer components with customized shapes and intricate structures easily without pre-made molds. When fabricated with responsive materials, smart 3D printed components experience shape morphing ...
-
Laudon, Samuel (2021-07-12)Acidizing is a common technique used in completing wells in carbonate reservoirs to reduce skin factor. Generally, HCl is pumped into the formation where it will react with calcite and dolomite in the carbonate rock. The ...
-
Luna, David Jordan (2019-05-15)Bleeding and thrombosis episodes in children are often encountered during ECMO/VAD. Pediatric patients on ECMO are known to have compromised platelet function and depleted plasma factors, making them susceptible to bleeding ...
-
Underwood, Jarrod (2013-11-15)Acid fracturing is a well stimulation strategy designed to increase the productivity of a producing well. The parameters of acid fracturing and the effects of acid interaction on specific rock samples can be studied ...
-
Uribe Chacon, Julian Alberto (2020-07-21)In carbonate reservoirs, wells are typically stimulated by injecting acid into the formation. The injected acid reacts and dissolves the formation minerals, creating high-conductive flow paths, also known as wormholes. HCl ...
-
Viloria Ochoa, Marilyn (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This study presents a simplified and accurate procedure for selecting the rheological model which best fits the rheological properties of a given non- Newtonian fluid and introduces five new approaches to correct for tool ...
-
Unver, Hatice Nur (2021-06-04)The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is one of the passive safety systems included in the design of Generation IV reactors. The RCCS is designed to remove the heat from the reactor cavity by natural circulation without ...
-
Panyaram, Venkat Krishna Shrikanth (2019-02-18)Fixed Bed Reactors are multi-phase reactors where flow of gas, liquid or both phase reactants occurs over a packed bed of solid catalyst. These systems are common in industry as they are easy to construct, operate and ...
-
Yu, Ya-Jen (2014-05-01)The shape memory polymer (SMP) is one type of smart material with shape memory effect. SMP’s recovery can be actuated by external energy, such as heat. However, traditional direct heating limits potential applications of ...
-
Capone, Luigi (2012-10-19)The analysis of the turbulent flows in nuclear fuel bundles is a very interesting task to optimize the efficiency of modern nuclear power plants. The proposed study utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to characterize ...
-
Palharini Schwalbert, Mateus (2019-05-16)Most wells in conventional carbonate reservoirs are stimulated with acid, either by acid fracturing or by matrix acidizing. Both methods can result in effective stimulation in carbonate reservoirs, but currently there is ...
-
Alawneh, Luay Mohammad Deeb (2022-07-25)Micro reactors are gaining substantial interest worldwide due to their capabilities to deliver power to remote and decentralized areas, also their long fuel cycles which makes them more attractive compared to other energy ...
-
Meng, Fanxu (2015-04-27)High-throughput manufacturing of nanomaterial-based products demands robust online characterization and quality control tools capable of continuously probing the in suspension state. But existing analytical techniques are ...
-
Huang, Yu-Wen (2013-12-12)Microfluidics has geniuses of low consumption of reagents and sample, miniaturization of device, and fast turnaround time for analysis that enables to develop high-speed, high-resolution, portable bio-analysis devices to ...
-
Rondon, Nolys Javier (2009-05-15)Knowledge of viscosity of flow streams is essential for the design and operation of production facilities, drilling operations and reservoir engineering calculations. The determination of the viscosity of a reservoir fluid ...
-
Yigit, Sinan (2019-11-08)As being one of the contactless and label free methods in microfluidics, acoustofluidics has provided great benefits to the researchers in terms of cell/particle analysis, separation, and screening. This recent technology ...
-
Arora, Ojasvin Sanjay (2023-08-02)Elevated temperatures and corrosive environments, typical of molten salt reactor’s operating conditions, may pose challenges to the functionality of instrumentation, sensors and key com-ponents of the cycle. Experimental ...
-
Queiroz Tomaz, Gabriel Caio (2022-04-18)The Generation IV reactors (Gen IV) are a set of new designs of nuclear reactors under development by a consortium of counties to meet the energy necessities of the future, including sustainability, safety, and economic ...
-
Mejia Mejia, Andres Fernando Fernando (2013-07-25)Many materials and biological systems in nature are suspensions composed of disks, such as clay, asphaltenes, and red blood cells. Despite their natural abundance and wide industrial application, disks are least studied ...
-
Sistrunk, Carrie Lynn (2023-08-17)The primary focus of this thesis is to summarize a workflow that leverages 3D printing to generate repeatable rock conductivity samples, reducing uncertainty associated with experimental results. Study results illustrate ...
