Efficient Numerical Scheme Of The Dynamics Of Nonisothermal Thin Film Flow, Moustafa A. Soliman, Khalid I. Alhumaizi Jan 2013

Efficient Numerical Scheme Of The Dynamics Of Nonisothermal Thin Film Flow, Moustafa A. Soliman, Khalid I. Alhumaizi

Chemical Engineering

In this work we use Lubrication type method, based on the possibility of the separation of longitudinal and transversal length scales to simplify the analysis of thin film dynamics. We study the dynamics of evaporating thin liquid films on an inclined plane, where the effect of van der Waal forces is significant. The numerical solution of the evolution equation is carried out using the method of orthogonal collocation and is used for the study of the instabilities of evaporating thin film to identify conditions for efficient operation. For symmetric cases where the plane is horizontal, a two spline collocation second …


Dynamics Of A Coating Film Flow On Horizontal Cylinders With Van Der Waals Forces, Moustafa A. Soliman, Khalid I. Alhumaizi Jan 2013

Dynamics Of A Coating Film Flow On Horizontal Cylinders With Van Der Waals Forces, Moustafa A. Soliman, Khalid I. Alhumaizi

Chemical Engineering

In this work we use the lubrication type method, based on the possibility of the separation of longitudinal and transversal length scales, to simplify the analysis of coating film dynamics. We study the dynamics of coating thin films on horizontal stationary and rotating cylinders in general, and when the effect of van der Waals forces is significant. A computer code based on the method of orthogonal collocation is developed and is used for the study of the instabilities of coating thin film flow on cylinders to identify conditions of stable operation. For stationary cylinders, the equations are symmetric and the …


Development Of Tailor-Designed Gold-Platinum Nanoparticles Binary Catalysts For Efficient Formic Acid Electrooxidation, Islam M. Al-Akraa Dr, Ahmad M. Mohammad Prof, Mohamed S. El-Deab Prof, Bahgat E. El-Anadouli Prof Jan 2012

Development Of Tailor-Designed Gold-Platinum Nanoparticles Binary Catalysts For Efficient Formic Acid Electrooxidation, Islam M. Al-Akraa Dr, Ahmad M. Mohammad Prof, Mohamed S. El-Deab Prof, Bahgat E. El-Anadouli Prof

Chemical Engineering

The modification of a glassy carbon (GC) electrode with platinum (PtNPs) and gold (AuNPs) nanoparticles is targeted to fabricate efficient anodes for the electrooxidation of formic acid (FA). A proper adjustment of the deposition sequence of PtNPs and AuNPs could eventually enhance the electrocatalytic activity of the electrode in such a way that suppresses the CO poisoning effect during FA oxidation. The highest catalytic activity is obtained at the Au/Pt/GC electrode (with PtNPs firstly deposited on the GC electrode followed by AuNPs). This superb enhancement is quantified by comparing the relative ratio of the direct vs. the indirect oxidation peaks …


Coversion Of Hexamine Dinitrate Into Dinitro Pentamethylene Tetramine: Follow-Up And Kinetic Model Selection, Hany A. Elazab Jun 2006

Coversion Of Hexamine Dinitrate Into Dinitro Pentamethylene Tetramine: Follow-Up And Kinetic Model Selection, Hany A. Elazab

Chemical Engineering

Synthesis of cyclotetramethylene tetramine through the action of nitrating mixture formed of ammonium nitrate and fuming nitric acid on hexamine in presence of acetic acid, acetic anhydride and p-formaldehyde has been proven. The pathway is relatively long and hexamine dinitrate and dinitro pentamethylene tetramine (DPT) are two of the main intermediate compounds. The former was prepared, purified, and then characterized. Conversion of this compound into the latter has been followed up experimentally. Different kinetic models have been tested. The unreacted core model proved to be applicable and the surface reaction was found to be controlling.
