The Triton team was contracted to model and optimize a gas separation/pre-concentrator system involving selectively permeable membranes. The system would nominally include an input of mixed gas species at some driving pressure, a number of membrane modules, and separate permeate ... Read More
The synthesis of the superheavy elements and investigations of their nuclear, atomic and chemical properties are at the scientific forefront. Experiments are challenging due to the extremely low production rates and short half-lives [1]. A new universal high-density gas stopping cell ... Read More
A defining characteristic of atomic layer deposition (ALD) is the sequential exposure of a surface to self-limiting, saturating reactions. Temporal ALD operates through intermittent purge cycles, while spatial ALD relies on physical separation accomplished by delivering reactants through ... Read More
This study investigates the shock boundary layer interaction occurring at the base of a double sharp fin. The base geometry is of particular interest, with comparisons made between flat and semi-cylindrical bases. The flow field is characterized via numerical simulations and ... Read More
Noble gasses such as argon and helium are utilized within In Gas Laser Ionization and Spectroscopy (IGLIS) [1] and Ion Guide Isotope Separation On-Line (IGISOL) [2] techniques to thermalize and transport the nuclear reactions products, which often have short lifetimes and small ... Read More
Aqueous polymers used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) application is considered a complex fluid. It can exhibit Newtonian and Non-Newtonian behavior depending on the velocity or the stresses that it is submitted during the flooding process. Therefore, the polymer flooding project ... Read More
For membrane gas separation modeling, some assumptions are made. One of the most typical approaches in such modeling is to assume a plug flow in the feed/retentate channel and ideal mixing conditions in the permeate channel. For membranes with high permeation, the permeate flux could be ... Read More
Oxygen transfer through ceramic membranes at high-temperature can substantially reduce costs respect to conventional separation methods. With the aim to improve the determination of the properties of the ceramic materials, a lab-scale permeation set-up was modeled using the Chemical ... Read More
One of the challenges associated with the wire-arc additive manufacture (WAAM) of metals is to provide adequate inert gas shielding, not only for the molten pool, but also for the long reactive metal surface that follows it. For Ti-6Al-4V, it has been shown that increased levels of ... Read More
One of the most critical aspects on water electrolysis is gas-liquid separation, especially in systems with forced convection. The main problem of this kind of circulation is that a gas fraction could return to the electrolysis circuit. A suitable design of separator devices could be a ... Read More
