  • Models and Modeling in Capstone Physical and Virtual Laboratory Projects

    Creator:
    Nefcy, Erick J.
    Abstract:
    The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the model generation and modeling processes of student teams that participate in capstone, undergraduate engineering physical and virtual laboratory projects. The Heat Exchange Laboratory Project, the Ion Exchange Laboratory Project, and the Virtual Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Laboratory Project provide the context...

  • Nonthermal Plasma Microreaction Engineering for Gas and Liquid Processing

    Creator:
    Pommerenck, Justin
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric pressure plasma is non-thermal at millimeter to micrometer separations. It represents an alternative low exergy initiator of many chemical reactions. In many instances heat, light or sound are not efficient providers of the necessary energy to overcome chemical activation barriers. The focus of this research is applying dc nonthermal...

  • 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...

  • Enhancement and modeling of cryogenic solid-state hydrogen storage systems with a novel microchannel thermal management device

    Creator:
    Loeb, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Compact storage systems demonstrating increased hydrogen storage capacity are the key to advancing the growth of the hydrogen economy throughout the world and reducing the global dependence on fossil fuels for transportation. The use of highly porous adsorbent materials for reversible hydrogen storage is a promising pathway towards achieving storage...

  • Roles of gas and solid components in the direct nitridation of silicon

    Creator:
    Pavarajarn, Varong
    Abstract:
    The factors influencing the direct nitridation of silicon, including the effects of the native oxide layer covering the surface of silicon, the effects of hydrogen contained in the nitridation gas and the catalytic effects of metals added to the raw material silicon, were investigated, using a tubular flow reactor and...

  • Continuous and rapid synthesis of nanoclusters and nanocrystals using scalable microstructured reactors

    Creator:
    Jin, Hyung Dae
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in nanocrystalline materials production are expected to impact the development of next generation low-cost and/or high efficiency solar cells. For example, semiconductor nanocrystal inks are used to lower the fabrication cost of the absorber layers of the solar cells. In addition, some quantum confined nanocrystals display electron-hole pair...
