Experimental investigation of supercritical heat transfer of carbon dioxide in parallel square microchannels with a single-wall constant heat flux boundary condition

O Criador:: Zada, Kyle R.
Abstract:: In the vicinity of the pseudocritical point, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) undergoes a steep change in properties from “liquid-like” to “gas-like” as it is heated at a constant pressure. At the same time, there is a large spike in specific heat which can yield high heat transfer coefficients and heat...

Density Functional Theory Investigation of CH Coupling and CH Hydrogenation Reactions on Different Cobalt Surface Facets and Fischer-Tropsch Temperature Swing Reactor Optimization

O Criador:: Petersen, Dennis F.
Abstract:: Fischer-Tropsh Synthesis is a chemical process that converts CO and H₂ (syngas) into long stable hydrocarbon chains to use as fuel. This process suffers from large product distribution that requires expensive post processing. In this study, the reaction mechanism of hydrocarbon chain growth on Co is investigated on different surface...

Degradation of N-Nitrosodimethylamine Using Photo-Catalysis and Microreactor Technology : Experimentation and Modeling

O Criador:: Omar, Mohamed
Abstract:: The cleanliness of water is a major issue with regards to humanity's continued survival. The chlorination and chloro-amination of water is essential to the creation of microbiologically clean water. However these processes also give rise to oxidative byproducts such as nitrosamines. In particular, due to its high toxicity, N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)...
