Identifying Multiple Steady States In The Design Of Reactive Distillation Processes, Thomas Karl Mills
Identifying Multiple Steady States In The Design Of Reactive Distillation Processes, Thomas Karl Mills
Doctoral Dissertations
"Global homotopy continuation is used to identify multiple steady states in ideal reactive flash and reactive distillation systems involving a reaction of the form A+B [symbol for <--> C taking place in the liquid phase. The choice of specifications has an influence on the existence of multiple solutions for both the flash and the column. For the flash, specification of the heat input or withdrawal can give rise to multiplicities while specification of the split fraction does not. Specification of one internal energy balance variable and one external material balance variable does not produce multiplicities in the column; however, specification of …
The Functionalization Of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes For Bioapplications, Pu Zhang
The Functionalization Of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes For Bioapplications, Pu Zhang
Doctoral Dissertations
"In the past few years, the functionalization of carbon nanotubes has received considerable attention due to their extraordinary mechanical, electrical, optical and thermal properties. Using single wall carbon nanotube as a platform in bioanalytical and biomedical applications has also been extensively studied. This dissertation consists of four papers. In the first paper, various methods to functionalize single wall carbon nanotubes with immobilized enzyme for bioanalytical application were investigated. It was found that the covalent functionalization method was not an ideal methodology for enzyme addition neither in terms of enzyme loading amount nor activity retention compared to other methods. Use of …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Metal Decorated Bamboo Structured Carbon Nanotubes For Hydrogen Storage, Sean Charles Mickey
Doctoral Dissertations
"Although hydrogen has been considered as a viable alternative fuel, the storage systems used to contain the hydrogen must be improved for large scale use. A variety of conceivable storage options exist ranging from compressed gas, cryogenic liquid, chemical solid state storage, and adsorptive surfaces. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide a potentially viable option for hydrogen storage applications as a high surface area, lightweight media for adsorptive storage, but do not efficiently store hydrogen at ambient temperatures. Metal hydrides, on the other hand, are able to store large weight percents of hydrogen in a chemical solid state, but generally have unfavorable …
