  • Hydrogen Interaction with Platinum and Palladium Surfaces

    Creator:
    Boechler, Amanda N.
    Abstract:
    Platinum and palladium surfaces are utilized as catalytic surfaces in the chemical industry. Understanding how hydrogen atoms interact with the metal surfaces will allow for further advancement in this area. Specifically, the interaction of hydrogen on the surface and subsurface of these metals was investigated using density functional theory calculations...

  • Toward Professional Practice: Student Learning through Participation in Engineering Clubs

    Creator:
    Hinkle, Christopher M.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated learning in three engineering student clubs at a large public university. This included a small-sized chemical reaction car competition, a large-sized formula racing team, and an international humanitarian engineering club. Research methods included observations of work sessions (N=27) and semi-structured interviews (N=19). Using Cultural Historical Activity Theory...

  • Viscous Effects of Wetting and Non-Wetting Fluids on Capillary Trapping Mechanism: A Climate Change Mitigation Strategy.

    Creator:
    Fobi, Simone
    Abstract:
    Rising CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere (396 ppmv as of April 2012) increase the effect of global warming and climate change. CO₂ sequestration has become a potential method to mitigate climate change. This study focuses on capillary/residual trapping as a form of geologic CO₂ sequestration. Capillary/residual trapping occurs when supercritical...
