Geological carbon sequestration in deep saline aquifers has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. Success of commercial-scale GCS requires containment of injected ...

Several industrial processes, including foam packaging manufacturing, use liquefied organic gases (boiling points (Tb) < 20°C) as inert feedstocks. These processes produce low concentration (e.g., 2,000 ppmv) organic gas ...

Field data is collected and analyzed from two highway-rail intersections. Vehicular speed profiles are examined in the approach zone, stopping distance zone, and the track zone for single vehicles as well as platoons of ...
