Water Mobility: A Bridge Between the Hofmeister Series and the Friction of Zwitterionic Surfaces In Aqueous Solutions

Oct 16, 2011

Yi He

In this work, we systematically studied the effects of ions in the Hofmeister series on the friction of zwitterionic surfaces with carboxybetaine self-assembled monolayers (CB-SAMs) as model surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations. The friction coefficients between two CB-SAM surfaces under...

Relating Surface Viscosity to Monolayer Packing In Model Phospholipid Films Using Active Microrheology

Oct 16, 2011

Prajnaparamita Dhar

The reorientation of a magnetic nickel nanorod placed at the air/phospholipid interface is used to calculate the surface viscosity of spread monolayers of phospholipids, dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) and dimyristoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DMPE). While surface viscosity was found to...

Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, and Mass Transfer: Chemical Engineering Practice

March, 2011

This broad-based book covers the three major areas of Chemical Engineering. Most of the books in the market involve one of the individual areas, namely, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer or Mass Transfer, rather than all the three. This book presents this material in a single source. This avoids the...

Plant Improvements: Identifying and Prioritizing Work When the Plant Is Running Well

Apr 27, 2009

Adnan Siddiqui, Adnan Siddiqui, Jian Zhang, & Zhijun Jia

Though manufacturing facilities always seem to be “fire-fighting,” there are times when the plant is actually running well. What is an engineer to do? Plant improvements and optimization opportunities are everywhere, but how does one go about identifying where they are and prioritizing their work...
