The propagation of acoustic waves in porous media is of interest in a variety of areas, including oil well logging, the seepage of contaminants into ground water supplies, and the flow of fluids in packed beds. The aim of ...

The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the applicability of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to the adsorption of trace level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the gas phase. The adsorption of VOCs on high ...

Gas-water exchange is usually controlled by a thin surface layer in the liquid just beneath the interface. The structure and dynamics of the interface profoundly influence the rate of mass transfer. Of particular importance ...

In this paper, we analyzed the capability of PROM’s algorithm to generate genome--‐scale metabolic--‐regulatory networks, which accurately predict growth phenotypes of transcriptional regulatory mutants under various ...

In the past fifteen years it has become apparent that the desorption process is not as well understood as it appeared when Knudsen formulated his cosine law of desorption in the early 1900's. Directed desorption, where the ...

Models have been developed for the rate processes of atomization from the wall layer in vertical annular two-phase flow and of deposition of this liquid back to the liquid film. These models have been incorporated into a ...

Supported metal oxides are used as catalysts for a wide variety of industrially and environmentally important reactions such as the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons and alcohols and the selective catalytic reduction of ...

We demonstrate the formation of gels composed of saturated carbon cage, diamondoid molecules that are rendered attractive through acid-base, non-covalent interactions (hydrogen bonding either with or without proton transfer). ...

The effect of heater diameter on the pool and flow boiling heat transfer of saturated Freon-113 was examined. The heaters were horizontal copper tubes of diameter 1.59 to 7.94 mm (pool) and 3.18 to 12.7 mm (flow), heated ...
