Engineering the Structual Properties of Self-assembled Polymer/Nanoparticle Capsules
(2011)
A materials synthesis technique was recently developed to generate polymer/nanoparticles composite microcapsules in which synthetic polyamines such as polyallylamine and/or polylysine were crosslinked with multivalent ...
SOME HYDROGENATION, OXIDATION, AND ISOMERIZATION REACTIONS OVER ZIRCONIUM-DIOXIDE CATALYST
(1980)
The mechanisms and selectivities of several hydrogenation, isomerization, and partial oxidation reactions that occur over a zirconia catalyst were investigated. The thermal stability of the catalyst in air and in vacuum ...
The compressibility factors and second virial coefficients for helium-nitrogen mixtures at low temperature and high pressure
(1962)
The Burnett method was used to determine the volumetric behavior of helium, nitrogen, and six evenly spaced helium-nitrogen mixtures at low temperature and high pressure. Compressibility isotherms were determined for both ...
PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND HYDROISOMERIZATION ACTIVITY OF A PLATINUM-RHENIUM/PILLARED CLAY CATALYST
(1985)
Montmorillonite is a clay mineral which when exchanged with hydroxyaluminum oligomers produces a pillared clay mineral. On calcination at 500(DEGREES)C the pillars are fixed, and a microporous structure having good thermal ...
FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES ON GAS-SOLID REACTIONS: PORE STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY OF COAL CHARS
(1986)
The combustion and gasification of five char samples was investigated. Four chars were produced by pyrolysis and demineralization of two coals, a Texas lignite and Illinois #6. The fifth sample was a commercially obtained ...
THE EFFECT OF BIOREACTOR CONDITIONS ON ATP SUPPLY AND DEMAND, ELECTRON FLOW, AND PRODUCT FORMATION IN THE ACETONE/BUTANOL FERMENTATION
(1987)
The availability and demand of biosynthetic energy (ATP) and reducing electrons (NADH, reduced ferredoxin) have been found to be crucial in the regulation of solvent production in steady state continuous cultures of ...
A STUDY OF THE PAIR DISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS OF MIXTURES OF IDEALIZED MOLECULES USING MOLECULAR SIMULATION
(1987)
The partial pair distribution functions describe the average conformation of groups of molecules in a mixture. The functions are used in the conformal solution theories of Leland et al, who assume that the thermodynamic ...
Condensing heat transfer within horizontal tubes
(1955)
The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of vapor velocity, temperature difference and fluid properties upon the heat transfer coefficient of a vapor condensing within a horizontal tube. Condensing heat ...
The effect of shear on the thermal conductivity of non-Newtonian fluids
(1994)
This work considers the effect of shear on the thermal conductivity of non-Newtonian fluids. These fluids display a variation of viscosity as a function of shear rate, and this study determines whether the thermal conductivity ...
