Propylene is the second most important olefin and the second largest volume industrial chemical produced globally. In 2015, the global demand for propylene was about 94 million metric tons. The largest use for propylene is the production of polypropylene, consuming 67% of propylene ... Read More
Solar energy storage has been an extensive research topic among the several thermal energy applications over the past three decades. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems in general, improve the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between ... Read More
This talk is for users of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software who, like the present author, are relative newcomers to numerical simulation but have a strong grounding in Hydrodynamics or related areas of Mathematical Physics. As part of a multi-year plan to develop proficiency in Equation ... Read More
Digital rock physics (DRP) is an emerging field where a rock sample is imaged, relevant physical processes are simulated numerically on the digital rock sample, and the numerical solutions are used for understanding and interpreting the rock in different in-situ conditions. The use of ... Read More
In order to qualify experiments for in-vessel irradiation at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, safety assessments need to be completed and documented to ensure adequate target cooling and structural integrity. Previously, finite element analysis ... Read More
High-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC) is a unique process presenting possibilities for efficient separations by creating a large interfacial area between two phases in counter current flow. Millifluidic channels rotate about both planetary and solar axes to create a rapidly ... Read More
Blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers (BBB and BTB) constitute a major obstacle to the transport of therapeutics in brain tumors. Focused ultrasound (FUS), when combined with circulating microbubbles, provides a noninvasive method to locally and transiently disrupt the BBB/BTB. ... Read More
As minimally invasive and robotic surgical devices get smaller, designing precise energy delivery to create the desired tissue effect becomes a key component in product development. With many interdependent physical phenomena occurring simultaneously, it becomes necessary to use tools ... Read More
