Memristor Nano Memory Passive Power Device
A non-volatile memory circuit that has one or more of the following features was created and patented : (a) a logic source, and (b) a semi-conductive device being electrically coupled to the logic source, having [...]
Liquid core nanocapsules synthesized using flash nanoprecipitation
Van Keuren E., Taylor S., Chung Y., Chen L., Ugwu-Uche U., Aparicio V.A., Meehan R., Hughes E., Georgetown University, US
The synthesis and application of multicomponent and/or multifunctional nanoparticles is an area that has seen significant growth over the past decade. Nanocapsules, nanoparticles with a liquid core and hard shell, are one example. They have [...]
New unique PAT method and instrument for real-time inline size characterization of concentrated, flowing nanosuspensions
With the rise of nanotherapeutics -and nano based products in general-, there has been an increasing need for better understanding and control of nano-particle (NP) synthesis and formulation processes. Size characteristics are often primary, if [...]
Fluidic circuits as a kinetic system for modulation of multiple hot spots as a thermally functional reactor
The challenge in material science is our ability to evaluate heat flow within a material and monitor temperature with time. This research studies fluidic geometry as a reactor device aligned to elevated temperatures for enhanced [...]
Nonclassical Fullerenes C_60 and C_66 with Five Heptagon Rings
In this paper, we present a couple of examples of nonclassical fullerenes with five heptagon rings. The first of them, a nonclassical fullerene with 60 carbons, five heptagons, 17 pentagons, and 10 hexagons, is considered. [...]
Effect of Biochar Loading on Carbon Nanofibrous Sponge Produced from Biochar and Electrospun Polymer Nanofibers
Numan-Al-Mobin A.M., Maddipudi B., Amar V.S., Shende R.V., Fong H., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US
The goal of this study is to process a typical waste product, namely the biochar obtained from the oxygen-limited hydrothermal system of biomass (e.g., corn stover), into the value-added product. Particularly, the 3D carbon nanofibrous [...]
Reservoir Structural Strategies on the Integrity of Gas Mobility Ratio
Abunumah O., Ogunlude P., Gobina E., Centre for Process Integration and Membrane Technology, School of Engineering, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK
Fluid mobility is an essential engineering quantity for characterizing reservoir fluid recovery. In Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), mobility ratio is a mathematical term to describe the mobility of the displacing fluid relative to that of [...]
An Experimental Study on the Effect of Methane Potent Biogas Mixture on Gas Permeation Mechanism
The Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario does require that all non-emergency flaring be eliminated globally by 2030, implying roughly a 90% reduction in flared volumes by 2030). New projects must incorporate strategies to utilize associated [...]
Experimental Determination of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Response to Reservoir Quantities
Abunumah O., Ogunlude P., Gobina E., Centre for Process Integration and Membrane Technology, School of Engineering, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK
Reservoir entities can be classified into geological, geometrical and fluidic. To complicate matters, reservoirs are usually set in geological layers, such that each layer interacts with injected and resident fluids differently. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is [...]
Novel Low-energy Super hydrophilic Alloy Coatings
Cirrus technology offers a low-voltage, non-toxic PEO super hydrophilic coating technology for application to light alloys. The novel surface finishing technology provides thin, adherent, and durable protection for alloys at low cost with an exceptionally [...]
The Quantitative Effect of Flow Direction on Gas Permeation in Ceramic Membrane
The effect of flow direction in porous ceramic membrane has been extensively studied. Understanding fluid flow through membrane has offered utility to a number of industrial processes such as gas separation, catalytic reactions, enhanced oil [...]
Effect of pore size and Porosity on Contact angle of Ceramic membrane for Oil-in-water Emulsion Separation
The main objective of this work is to study the effect of pore size and porosity on contact angle of ceramic membrane for Oil-in-water emulsion separation. This would include using N2 adsorption/desorption to validate pore [...]
Direct Oxygen Air Capture Using Pressure-Driven Ion Transport Membranes: Membrane Support Evaluation
In the chemical and medical fields, oxygen-enriched air plays a vital role in their operation. Commercial production of oxygen-enriched air is achieved by cryogenic distillation and pressure swing adsorption, respectively. The function of these two [...]
