Novel Approaches to Porous Material Discovery

Creator:: Sturluson, Arni
Abstract:: Uses for materials with a large surface area and high porosity have grown sig-niﬁcantly in recent years. Porous materials have found usage in applications such as separation, gas storage, sensing, puriﬁcation and more, prompting researchers to ﬁnd and discover numerous new porous materials to suit a speciﬁc purpose. Hundreds of...

Analyzing the Relationship between Capillary Pressure, Saturation, and Interfacial Area for a Three-Phase Flow System in Porous Media

Creator:: Paustian, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: Multi-phase flow in porous media includes many instances of subsurface flow. Three-phase flow in particular is important in situations of enhanced oil recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater remediation. Many studies have been performed on how two fluid phases (oil/water or air/water) behave in porous media, but very few studies exist...

Continuous Flow Microwave-Assisted Synthesis as a Potentially Scalable Nanomanufacturing Approach

Creator:: Albuquerque, Gustavo Henrique T. C. de
Abstract:: The development of nanomaterials and the potential enhancement of their chemical, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties have led to the investigation of methods for their synthesis at lower cost with enhanced performance for next generation devices. Along with the pursuit of new materials that exhibit properties of interest, industry requires...

Thermodynamic correction for salts in variably saturated porous media

Creator:: Burns, Erick R.
Abstract:: Using thermodynamic principles, the general relationship describing the equilibrium vapor content in the gas phase above a saline liquid and across a curved liquid-gas interface is developed. Since high salt concentration also affects the intensive and extensive liquid properties, it is also necessary to account for these effects in liquid...

Study of creeping, inertial and turbulent flow regimes in porous media using particle image velocimetry

Creator:: Patil, Vishal A.
Abstract:: Porous media flows are encountered in many natural and man-made systems such as gas adsorption, filtration, heat exchangers, combustion, catalytic reactors and groundwater hydrology. This study experimentally investigates these flows as function of pore Reynolds number, Re[subscript pore]. The pore Reynolds number is based on the porous bed hydraulic diameter,...

Numerical simulation of anaerobic reductive dechlorination of CAHs in continuous flow systems

Creator:: Mustafa, Nizar Ahmad
Abstract:: Halogenated organic compounds have had widespread and massive applications in industry, agriculture, and private households, for example, as degreasing solvents, flame retardants and in polymer production. They are released to the environment through both anthropogenic and natural sources. The most common chlorinated solvents present as contaminants include tetrachloroethene (PCE, perchloroethene)...

A numerical study of inertial flow features in moderate Reynolds number flow through packed beds of spheres

Creator:: Finn, Justin Richard
Abstract:: In this work, flow through synthetic arrangements of contacting spheres is studied as a model problem for porous media and packed bed type flows. Direct numerical simulations are performed for moderate pore Reynolds numbers in the range, 10 ≤ Re ≤ 600, where non-linear porescale flow features are known to...

Nanotechnology for solar module applications : zinc oxide nanostructures and anti-reflective coating modeling, deposition, analysis, and model fitting

Creator:: Han, Katherine M.
Abstract:: To become a competitor for fossil fuels such as coal, solar installations will need to be produced and installed at a price equal to or below grid parity. This price can be approached by either reducing the overall system cost or increasing system efficiency. The focus of this paper is...

Measurement of Gas Exchange, Stream Metabolism, and Carbon Fluxes of Headwater Streams

Creator:: Pennington, Robert S.
Abstract:: Freshwater systems are an important component of the global carbon cycle as they outgas disproportionately large quantities of carbon compared to the terrestrial landscape. Of particular importance are headwater streams, which represent roughly 90% of the channel network by length and have been conservatively estimated to outgas roughly 36% of...

Flow processes in the dry regime : the effect on capillary barrier performance

Creator:: Jansik, Danielle P.
Abstract:: Engineered capillary barriers typically consist of two layers of granular materials designed so that the contrast in sediment hydrologic properties and sloping interface retains infiltrating water in the upper layer. We report here on the results of two bench-top capillary barrier experiments, and associated modeling. These experiments were conducted to...
