  • 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...

  • Single Phase and Flow Boiling Heat Transfer and Flow Characterization in Microscale Pin Fin Heat Sinks

    Creator:
    Rasouli, Erfan
    Abstract:
    The ever increasing requirements for heat dissipation in various thermal management applications such as computer chip cooling and high power electronics have necessitated the need for novel thermal management techniques. Thermal management using heat sinks with microscale features is amongst the prominent techniques developed over the past two decades. 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...
