Creator:: Truszkowska, Agnieszka
Abstract:: Two-phase flows in microtechnology based devices are purposefully present in multiphase reactors, phase separators, analytical devices and others. Two-phase flows can also be an undesirable side effect occurring during operation due to phase transitions or, more commonly, introduction of surrounding air through equipment gaps and with process feed. In both...

Creator:: Pavarajarn, Varong
Abstract:: Two approaches to reduce computational requirements for solving reactive distillation problems have been studied: simplification of the model using physical assumptions and numerical approximation using an orthogonal collocation technique. The results of a full-order model with time dependent stage molar holdups was compared to published steady-state experimental data and was...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Pinto-Espinoza, Joaquin
Abstract:: Magnetically Assisted Fluidized Bed (MAFB) is a novel technology where an external magnetic field with constant gradient interacts with magnetically susceptible particles. The linear magnetic field creates two type of forces: external and interparticle magnetic forces. A theoretical mathematical model based on the interaction of ideal dipoles is proposed to...

Creator:: Coonce, Vincent M.
Abstract:: The principal aim of this study was the use and evaluation of dynamic modeling techniques to identify mathematical models for cereal drying rates and quality changes that best describe thin-layer malt drying data. Seven thin-layer malt drying experiments were performed at the Great Western Malting pilot facilities, Vancouver, WA. Malt...

Creator:: Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
Abstract:: Moisture intrusion in residential structures can lead to substantial fungal decay and this damage costs billions in repair/replacement costs. The extent of damage and the rate at which it occurs are primarily dependent on the wood moisture content and temperature in the structure. Determining the risk of decay for various...

Creator:: Schauwecker, Christoph F.
Abstract:: New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...
