(2019-10-17)Fischer Tropsch synthesis (FT) is a highly exothermic catalyzed reaction to produce a variety of hydrocarbon products and value-added chemicals. To overcome the limitations associated with conventional FT reactors, utilizing ...
-
Resistive switching in metal-insulator-metal devices is promising as an alternative to flash memory. The change in resistance from insulating to conducting and back again is theoretically caused by the formation and partial ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2020-04-17)Bacterial resistance is rapidly emerging worldwide, endangering the efficacy of existing antibiotics. As a result, extensive research is being done on the development of new antimicrobials; however, these new drugs could ...
-
(2019-12-06)As concerns about climate change continue to intensify, one way to motivate companies to take meaningful climate action agnostic to political intervention is identifying economically attractive strategies to mitigate COv2 ...
-
(2022-07-20)Determining safety techniques in hydrogen production is important in creating a hydrogen economy. Choosing the safe technology is challenging task given evolving nature of the technology and public expectation of higher ...
-
(2019-08-14)The moisture effect on the work of adhesion of asphalt binder and mineral aggregates was investigated using molecular dynamic simulation. The implemented asphalt model, based on the OPLS-AA force field, was validated in ...
-
(2023-04-12)The role of dynamic energy storage in future energy systems driven by a mix of intermittent renewable power generation and dense energy carriers (DECs) cannot be understated. Reliable energy storage could pay dividends in ...
-
(2022-06-03)Within the context of increasing global efforts to minimize CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere, attention has been directed toward finding cleaner means of energy generation and feedstock production to sustain global demands ...
-
(2021-10-05)The rising energy demands and the burgeoning population combined with concerns about the risks of climate change mandate a cost-conscious transition towards low-carbon or carbon-neutral energy, that will not limit the ...
-
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 ...
-
(1979)A study of the effects of methanol and water on the friability of lignite was made in an effort to quantify the extent of the effects and compare the utility of the two liquids. The friability of the lignite will be an ...
-
(1980)A study was made to determine the effect of an electrolyte, namely sodium chloride(NaCl), on the apparent viscosity of coal suspensions in water. This required a fundamental study of the behavior of the second electro-viscous ...
-
(2022-07-07)The global pursuit for sustainability led to industrial parks, where traditionally separate operations are integrated to achieve greater overall economic, environmental, and social benefits that would otherwise be unattainable. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The electron transport characteristics of Oligoaniline molecular junctions terminated with thiol-ends are analyzed with the density functional theory and the Green's function approach. The molecular junction consists of ...
-
(2023-03-09)This research first investigated small-scale flammability and thermal stability for novel nanofillers in polymeric nanocomposites. The fire tests were then scaled up to the bench scale and addressed the flame retardancy ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2017-04-28)Synthesis gas, known as syngas, is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide along with other gases. Syngas is an important feedstock for the production of various chemicals and fuels such as ammonia, methanol, dimethyl ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Zeolites ZSM-5 (SiO2/Al2O3=30~280) and Y(SiO2/Al2O3=5.2~80) are bound with silica gel (Ludox HS-40 and Ludox AS-40) and alumina (γ- Al2O3 and boehmite) by different binding methods, namely, gel-mixing, powder-mixing and ...
