Dechlorination of Chlorinated Phenols in Microscale Based Reactor; Mathematical Model, and Numerical Simulation

Creator:: Zhang, Pei Lun
Abstract:: The micro-based reactor can be considered as two phases: the main fluid and the gel phase. When the reactants p-chlorophenol enters reactor, diffuses from the main fluid to the gel phase. The diffusion and convention of p-chlorophenol happen in the main fluid. However, there is no convection in the gel...

Chromium Phillips Catalyst on Tin Oxide Substrate: Deposition and Characterization

Creator:: Chen, Di
Abstract:: In order to synthesize polyethylene by the microreactor with a catalyst, this thesis prepares the chemical coating layers for the reactor channel. There are two layers in the channel: the Phillips catalysts and an antimony-doped tin oxide layer on glass substrate. The Phillips catalyst help to synthesize polyethylene in the...

Cu-Ga-S/ZnS Quantum Dots with Silica Melting Gel as a Luminescent Downshifting Coating for Enhancing Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation

Creator:: Chen, Si-Hao
Abstract:: Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic devices, are a class of renewable energy systems that can convert photons into electrons without the carbon dioxide emission. Short-wavelength, high-energy photons in the ultraviolet (UV) range can't be efficiently utilized by most solar cells because of the spectral mismatch. Luminescent downshifting is a...

Phenotyping Degeneration of the Intervertebral Disc with Principal Component Analysis and K-Means Clustering

Creator:: Chen, Joseph
Abstract:: The human intervertebral disc (IVD) provides support for the vertebral bodies, allowing for movement and load bearing. The IVD can degenerate with age or injury, impeding function and causing chronic pain. Despite disc degeneration affecting over 90% of adults over age 50, and back pain being the leading global cause...

A multiscale approach to bacterial adhesion

Creator:: Ostvar, Sassan
Abstract:: This work is an attempt to develop a simple physical description for the initial interactions between a bacterial cell and a substrate surface. This is done by adopting a view that regards bacterial surface biomolecules not as secondary and add-on contributors to the potential energy function that characterizes the overall...

Understanding Charge and Mass Transfer Phenomena in Functional Oxide Heterostructures

Creator:: Samarakoon, Widitha
Abstract:: Oxides are a versatile class of materials with a wide range of electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. This makes them ideal for use in a multitude of functional devices for oxide electronics, electrochemical conversion, and storage. The overall performance of these devices is governed by atomic scale charge and mass...

Applications of Nonthermal Microplasmas in Chemical Reaction Engineering

Creator:: Kreider, Peter B.
Abstract:: Nonthermal plasmas generate high concentrations of excited species that can simultaneously exist at high energy and far from thermodynamic equilibrium, making them useful tools in chemistry and engineering. Microplasmas, roughly defined as plasmas that are generated within sub-millimeter dimensions, provide enhanced stability, improved excited species density, increased nonequilibrium properties, higher...

A Graph Grammar Representation of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Computational Synthesis and Exploration

Creator:: Geringer, Mark K.
Abstract:: In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are computationally represented, generated, and evaluated. The organic linker molecules are represented as graphs and use graph grammars where the atoms are represented by nodes and the bonds are represented by arcs. The grammar rules that dictate the graph generation process work on the...

Theoretical Study of Solvent Effects in Heterogeneous Catalysis using Density Functional Theory

Creator:: Chukwu, Kingsley C.
Abstract:: Heterogeneous catalytic reactions in solvents are important for chemical processes like direct methanol fuels, biomass conversion to biofuels and electrochemical reduction of CO2 to fuels. Numerous experimental studies have shown that co-adsorbates and solvents affect the rate and selectivity of heterogeneous catalytic reaction, therefore fundamental understanding of how co-adsorbates and...

Near-infrared absorption gas sensing with metal-organic framework on optical fibers

Creator:: Chong, Xinyuan, Kim, Ki-Joong, Li, Erwen, Zhang, Yujing, Ohodnicki, Paul R., Chang, Chih-Hung, and Wang, Alan X.
Abstract:: Despite significant advantages in terms of portability and cost, near-infrared (NIR) gas sensing still remains a great challenge due to its relatively weak overtone absorption from the fundamental vibrational bond absorption at the mid-IR frequency. In this paper, we demonstrated ultra-sensitive NIR gas sensing for carbon dioxide (CO₂) at 1.57...
