Creator:: Al-Raie, Ali H.
Abstract:: Sulfur content of fuels and desulfurization of fuels is becoming an important environmental restriction and regulatory issue. In this study new technology for the desulfurization of fuels is considered. Micro scale reactors are introduced for desulfurization of thiophene and dibenzothiophene. Thiophene and dibenzothiophene are mixed with hexane at concentration, C₀...

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...

Creator:: Heintz, Keely
Abstract:: The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...

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...

Creator:: L'Estrange, Thomas
Abstract:: Characterization of a microchannel solar thermal receiver for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) is presented. The receiver design is based on conjugate computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer simulations as well as thermo-mechanical stress analysis. Two lab scale receivers with a 2x2 cm² absorber area are fabricated and experimentally characterized -...

Creator:: Atadana, Frederick Williams
Abstract:: Microscale reactors operate in sub millimeter space dimensions. Their small length scale enables process intensification of mass, heat and momentum transport that influence reaction rates. Hence it's possible to observe the true intrinsic reaction kinetics occurring for a set of reactions. In this work a novel microscale reactor for producing...

Creator:: Coblyn, Matthew Y.
Abstract:: There are approximately 2.2 million cases of End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) worldwide and current hemodialysis treatment is costly and ultimately insufficient compared to kidney transplantation. There is a strong need to arrive at a better solution for treating ESRD. Microchannel-based hemodialysis is one proposed option, already shown to have improved...
