A mathematical model of a hydrogen/oxygen alkaline fuel cell
(1991)
A mathematical model of a hydrogen/oxygen alkaline fuel cell is presented that can be used to predict the polarization behavior under various power loads. The major limitations to achieving high power densities are indicated ...
Formation of calcareous deposits on cathodically protected steel in seawater
(1992)
A rotating disc electrode technique was used to grow calcareous deposits on low carbon steel specimens in ASTM substitute ocean water at room temperature in the laboratory. Concurrently, a first principle mathematical model ...
Supercritical extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls from a solid matrix
(1990)
The contaminated soil around the uncontrolled waste sites in the United States is considered to be a potentially hazardous environmental pollution. At present, over 1,000 waste sites are on the National Priorities List ...
Incorporation of line quantities in the continuum description for multiphase, multicomponent bodies
(1994)
In this thesis the continuum description for dynamic, multiphase, multicomponent systems with intersecting dividing surfaces, is developed. In this development, the contribution of line excess quantities (line mass density, ...
Development of an accurate and practical equation of state based on perturbation theory and random-closest-packed born spheres
(1990)
Equation of state calculations are used by engineers in all phases of chemical process design and control. New processes often are designed to operate under conditions for which insufficient experimental data exist, and ...
Synthesis and electrical discharge machining of advanced ceramics containing zirconium diboride
(1994)
The objectives of this research are to synthesize composites containing zirconium diboride under a variety of conditions, to fabricate ZrB$sb2$-based materials using wire-cutting and die-sinking electrical discharge machines, ...
Wettability of porous media by nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation methods
(1994)
Wettability is a major factor which influences the distribution of multiphase fluids in reservoir rocks. However, the conventional methods for determining wetting characteristics of reservoir rocks are difficult and ...
The effect of temperature and pressure on laboratory oxidized asphalt films with comparison to field aging
(1994)
Two aging models, the asphalt-aging model and the highway-pavement aging model, are developed to describe oxidative aging in asphalt. The first model is based on first principles accounting for carbonyl formation and ...
Hydrodynamic studies in two and three-phase slurry bubble column reactors
(1990)
Two and three-phase bubble columns have been used in various industrial processes. Bubble columns were initially used in the fermentation industry but more recently have been used as bioreactors and chemical reactors. One ...
Selective formation of isobutane and isobutene from synthesis gas over zirconia catalysts
(1994)
Isosynthesis is a process to synthesize isobutane and isobutene from hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. Certain metal oxides such as Z r02 and T h02 are active isosynthesis catalysts. Previous work in the literature concludes ...
