Exploring water dynamics and gas separations in graphene oxide surfaces and nanopores
Graphene oxide (GO) is a chemically functionalized graphene with various oxygen-containing functional groups, such as epoxy (-O-), hydroxyl (-OH), and carboxyl (-COOH) on the basal plane. As a consequence, GOs have hydrophilic ...
Modeling the Dependence Structure of Hydroclimatic Extremes
Analysis of extremes in a complex interacting hydroclimatic system is challenging due to rarity of events, small sample size, poor state of data or missing data, lack of statistical tools for analyzing observed changes and ...
Hydrologic Inference: A Complex Systems Approach
The aim of this thesis is to understand linkages between hydrologic processes and patterns from the perspective of a complex system. In hydrologic systems, there exist interactions of hydrologic components among themselves ...
Studies on a New Spinning Disc-Spinning Bowl Contactor/Mixer
Increased focus on continuous synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has led to resurgence of process intensification. In this thesis we introduce a new continuous contactor. It works on the principle of impinging ...
Development of a low modulus Ti-Nb-Ta-O alloy for orthopedic applications
Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr based β-Titanium alloys are currently projected as potential candidates for use in orthopaedic implants owing to their low elastic modulus and use of non-toxic elements. However, most of these alloys contain ...
Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change : Detection and Attribution
Detecting, quantifying, and modelling the effects of human-induced climate change in regional hydrology is important for studying the impacts of such changes on the water resources systems as well as for reliable future ...
Sound Radiation from Rectangular Panels with Rectangular Cut-out/s
This is largely an analytical investigation and the objective of this study is to compute
sound power radiated from rectangular panels that are placed in an infinite baffle (or a
rigid wall) and that have rectangular ...
The Role of Self-Recirculating Casing Treatment on Axial Compressor and Its Aeroelastic Behavior
The modern-day axial compressor stages in a gas turbine engine play a vital role in generating the high-pressure ratios by operating at the limits of their design. Aerodynamic instabilities such as rotating stall and surge ...
Analysis and Design of Organic Rankine Cycle based Power Plants
Solving the world’s energy crisis, and mitigating anthropogenic climate change, requires efficiently harnessing non-polluting renewable energy. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) can be useful in this regard. ORC is Rankine cycle ...
Effect of Sintering on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Air Plasma Sprayed 7 wt.% Y2O3 Stabilized ZrO2
Air plasma sprayed (APS) 7 wt.% Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (7YSZ) coating is conventionally used for thermal insulations (in form of thermal barrier coating, TBC) in various hotter sections of land-based gas turbine engines and ...
