Numerous experimental methods are available to predict the hazards associated with thermal runaway (TR) and subsequent catastrophic failure of lithium-ion batteries (LIB), but these methods are time-intensive and costly. ...
-
(2020-04-01)Many batch-wise pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis reactions, for example, alkylpyridine N-oxide synthesis reaction, are highly exothermic with significant risk of thermal runaway leading to multiple incidents in the ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2013-08-06)The purpose of this work is to optimize the chemical composition as well as the heat treatment for improving the mechanical performance of the TRIP steel by employing the theoretical models. TRIP steel consists of the ...
-
(2014-09-25)The use of carbon dioxide as a chemical feedstock for the copolymerization with epoxides to give polycarbonates, and for coupling with hydrocarbons to give carboxylic acids, was probed using computational chemistry. ...
-
(2012-10-19)Energetic materials comprise a set of systems of tremendous technological importance. Besides helping shape landscapes to establish communications, they have been used to reach fuel reservoirs, deploy safety bags and prevent ...
-
(2022-12-08)In recent years, native mass spectrometry (nMS) has continued to grow in popularity and recognition as an excellent structural biology tool. The implementation of orthogonal methods to nMS, such as liquid chromatography ...
-
(2016-04-08)Dry reforming of methane is one of the few chemical reactions which can effectively convert carbon dioxide (CO2), a major green-house gas, into a valuable chemical precursor, syngas (a mixture of CO and H2), that can be ...
-
(2013-11-01)The most interesting and technologically important problems in the study of flow through porous media involve very high pressures and pressure gradients in the flow do- main such as enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide ...
-
(2009-05-15)This thesis studies the mechanics which can be associated with asphalt concrete compaction and develops continuum models in a general thermo-mechanical setting which can be used in future work to corroborate experimental ...
-
(2009-05-15)The aim of this work is to demonstrate a Helmholtz potential based approach for the development of the constitutive equations for a shape memory polymer undergoing a thermomechanical cycle. The approach is motivated by the ...
