Highly efficient, microscale-based technologies have provided a route to modularized solar-thermochemical energy storage, as is the case with the...

Fluidization of Non-Standard Particles

Conference Presentation
AIChE Annual Meeting
November 20, 2020
When using fluidized beds as catalytic reactors, the particle size and shape can be optimized to get good fluidization behaviour. When using...

An Index to Characterize Particle Mixing at Different Scales

Conference Presentation
AIChE Annual Meeting

We report on the experimental pilot demonstration of a modular solar dish-reactor system for the production of methanol from ambient air using...

(Invited Plenary Talk): Towards Ubiquitous Physiological Monitoring

Conference Presentation
AIChE Annual Meeting
November 20, 2020
Modern medicine is largely reactionary. We wait for patients to exhibit symptoms and then we try to treat them. Yet we know physiological changes...

Hybrid Continuum-Discrete Approach to Model Industrial Scale Gas-Solids Reacting Flows

Conference Presentation
AIChE Annual Meeting
November 20, 2020
Developing new and efficient commercial scale multiphase reactors is extremely difficult as one needs to consider the complex interactions over a...

Perspectives of Solar Thermochemical Fuels for Aviation

Conference Presentation
AIChE Annual Meeting
November 20, 2020
