Experimental Measurement of near-Field Capillary Interactions Between Rod-Like Particles

Oct 16, 2011

Lu Yao

Micrometer-sized cylinders at fluid interfaces self-assemble owing to capillary interactions, forming linear chains of particles joined end-to-end by ‘capillary bonds’. We measure the strength of these capillary bonds by a new experimental technique. We incorporate a magnetic cylinder within a self...

Planar Biomimetic Aquaporin-Incorporated Triblock Copolymer Membranes On Porous Solid Supports

Oct 16, 2011

Phuoc H.H. Duong

The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the preparation and characterization of planar biomimetic bacterial water-channel protein Aquaporin Z (AQPZ)-incorporated polymer membranes on porous solid substrates by vesicle spreading for water treatment. AQPZ -incorporated polymer vesicles were...

Catalytic Cracking of Oak Pyrolytic Vapors Via Bench-Scale In-Situ Fixed-Bed Catalysis

Oct 16, 2011

David J. Mihalcik

Pyrolysis oils derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks by way of fast pyrolysis offer the possibility of a distinct alternative to the use of petroleum-based fuels. However, an inherent drawback associated with pyrolysis oil its high oxygen content which is due to the nature of the lignocellulosic...

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...

Success and Prospects in Transport

Nov 16, 2008

Morton Denn

The study of transport phenomena is an important area of chemical engineering. In many ways it differentiates chemical engineering from other disciplines, such as biomedical and material engineering. In this lecture, Dr. Morton Denn tracks the development of transport in the chemical engineering...

Physical Properties

Faruk Civan

Use Exponential Functions to Correlate Temperature Dependence Asymptotic exponential equations may provide a more-accurate or easier-to-use representation of a property’s temperature dependence than commonly used polynomial expressions.

Applying Mass and Energy Balances to Spray Drying

December

2009

Back To Basics

Tim Langrish

Mass and energy balances are not just for process and equipment design. They can also be used to improve dryer operations by answering various “what-if” questions about temperatures, flowrates, and moisture contents. <br><br>
