An investigation of the feasibility of a process-intensified differential temperature water-gas shift reactor with integrated Pt/Al2O3 catalyst

Creator:: Hu, Kathy Q.
Abstract:: There has been serious interest in hydrogen as a source of energy in the United States due to its capability of delivering a sustainable, carbon-free energy future. Currently, most hydrogen in the United States is produced via the steam methane reforming of natural gas, which converts methane to hydrogen through...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Utilization of Renewable Energy via Thermochemistry

Creator:: Lei, Fuqiong
Abstract:: Utilization of solar energy or wind energy for electricity production is inherently challenging due to the diurnal and seasonal variations and normal intermittency. Effective, high efficiency storage methods need to be developed for further advancing renewable energy utilization. Endothermic chemical processing and thermochemical energy storage can be both employed as...

Exploring the Wettability States and Contact Angle Variation in Porous Media Multi-Phase Flow Systems

Creator:: Behnoudfar, Diba
Abstract:: The wetting of a surface by a liquid is a crucial part of many natural and industrial processes. Despite numerous existing studies, some elements of wetting-dewetting such as contact angle variation are still poorly understood. Knowledge of contact angle behavior during the flow is necessary for modeling fluid displacements in...

Fluidized Bed Reactor Engines

Creator:: Lavrich, Zoe A.
Abstract:: Repurposing internal combustion engines as petrochemical reactors (i.e., Reactor engines) could offer a smaller, scalable alternative to traditional full scale chemical processing facilities. For many chemical processes, incorporating catalyst particles in fluidized beds is expected to result in superior performance over both monoliths and packed beds. Conversion of ethane into...

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of Membrane Based Energy Recovery Ventilator Performance with an Internal Support Structure

Creator:: Armatis, Paul D.
Abstract:: Large amounts of energy are wasted when conditioned air in buildings is exhausted to meet ventilation requirements. There are several technologies to recover some of this energy, including the recent development of membrane based energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). ERVs exchange sensible heat and moisture between incoming fresh and outgoing exhaust...

Properties of hydrogels for immobilization of bacteria in a commercial microfluidic dioreactor

Creator:: Weymann, Davis
Abstract:: Current technological shortcomings limit the economic viability of capturing and utilizing small sources of methane. The development of a reactor to overcome these limitations would unlock economic opportunity and incentivize reduced methane emissions. A microfluidic bioreactor containing immobilized methanotrophs has the potential to overcome these limitations by profitably converting small...

Aging and performance evaluation of marine antifouling coatings

Creator:: Bunn, Malachi D.
Abstract:: Marine biofouling is a major problem in many industries. Shipping has been afflicted with reduced vessel speed and hindered maneuverability due to organisms attaching since the dawn of sailing. To date, the primary method developed to prevent fouling is the application of biocide laden coatings with various release mechanisms. Mass...

Design of a single lamina for a microchannel dialyzer with a focus on bubble removal

Creator:: Mohammadi, Mahshid
Abstract:: A microchannel-based hemodialyzer offers a novel approach to hemodialysis practice and holds many promises for improving dialysis treatment efficiency and quality of life for kidney patients. The hollow fiber hemodialyzer, a conventional dialysis device, has certain limitations including non-uniformity of the dialysate flow path which necessitates the use of a...

Fluidic and thermal modeling for the high production rate synthesis of high quality nanoparticles

Creator:: Peterson, Daniel Alan
Abstract:: Advances of colloidal nanomaterials for societal benefit have been hampered by the high cost and low quality of nanoparticles (NPs). The production of high quality nanoparticles within colloidal suspension has two related concerns; (1) current high production rates methods of synthesizing nanoparticles result in a larger range of particle size,...

Degradation of graphite electrodes in acidic bromine electrolytes

Creator:: Bistrika, Alexander A.
Abstract:: As the world's power needs grow, the demand for power from renewable resources, such as wind or solar is increasing. One major drawback associated with these renewable resources is that the power output is dependent on environmental factors, such as cloud cover and wind speeds. This allows the possibility of...
