While electric double layers play a crucial role in many biophysical processes involving charged molecular species (such as proteins and DNA), they are often a limiting factor in technological applications where charged conductors are brought in contact with electrolyte solutions. ... Read More
Hydrogen has great potential to be the fuel of the future through utilization in fuel cells, but it is rarely found naturally and must be produced in energy-intensive processes. Steam reforming, the process of heating natural gas and steam in the presence of a catalyst to drive a ... Read More
Vacuum cooling is a common unit operation in the leafy greens industry and is considered as a very efficient approach to extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. However, during this popular process, bacteria can internalize into the produce. This emphasizes the need for better ... Read More
This study investigates the effect of uniform magnetic field on the deformation of a ferrofluid droplet in a two dimensional (2D) simple shear flow by means of numerical simulation. The magnetic field is applied in a perpendicular direction to the flow direction. A numerical scheme ... Read More
Vibrations and noise of high power transformers have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical interests over last few years [1, 2]. For such transformers operating under high voltage (~ 100 kV) and power (~ 100 MVA), noise generated is significantly attributed to load noise ... Read More
To be competitive in today’s workforce, students in STEM undergraduate programs are expected to develop problem-solving skills. Often, this occurs through guidance and practice in the form of assignments, labs, experiential learning opportunities, teamwork, and other means. The concept ... Read More
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the COMSOL Multiphysics software has become a reliable and important resource to estimate and assess thermal safety margins for several nuclear applications. This poster presentation will highlight some of the ongoing activities in the following ... Read More
The IR CO2 laser powered chemical conversions in the gas phase are intriguing and the researchers’ attention was focused on this transformation a while ago. The method, known as Infrared Laser Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis, or IR LPHP opened reaction pathways not reached by conventional ... Read More
Viscoelastic flow of polymer based energetic materials exiting an extrusion die is a particularly challenging phenomenon to describe by modelling and simulation due to non-Newtonian effects in the die and significant swelling at the exit. This project aims to develop a simulation model ... Read More
The Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is an electric space propulsion concept to generate denser ion and electron beams using inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion theory and helicon source. Helicon source is employed to generate the plasma and the ... Read More
