Creator:: Palanisamy, Barath
Abstract:: In this work, continuous synthesis routes for binary nanoparticles using advantages of microchannel mixing (low diffusion distances and higher mass transfer) and fast heating rates provided by ultrasound induced heating are investigated. In addition, the application of silica nanoparticles in anti-reflective coatings on glass and understanding the structure property-performance correlation...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Alsaffar, Ahmed J.
Abstract:: Interest in accounting for environmental impacts of products, processes, and systems during the design phase is increasing. Numerous studies have undertaken investigations for reducing environmental impacts across the product life cycle. Efforts have also been launched to quantify such impacts more accurately. Life cycle energy consumption and carbon footprint are...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Hasan, Hadi
Abstract:: Micro Energy and Chemical Systems (MECS) devices enable at least two areas of benefit due to the accelerated heat and mass transfer that can be accomplished in microchannels. First, MECS devices enable process intensification; the ability to reduce the volume of space needed to implement systems of thermal and chemical...

Creator:: Bose, Sumantra
Abstract:: Diffusion bonding cycle times can be a large cost factor in the production of metal microchannel devices. The challenge is to significantly minimize this cost by reducing the bonding cycle time through rapid and uniform heating and cooling within the bonding process. Heating rates in diffusion bonding processes are typically...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Lim, Hyunpae
Abstract:: In the thesis, an application of a genetic algorithm (GA) is considered to solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP) which involves heterogeneous vehicles to serve known customer demands from multiple depots achieving the minimum delivery cost, where each customer must be satisfied by one or more visit(s), and each vehicle...
