Simulation and economic evaluation of natural gas hydrates [NGH] as an alternative to liquefied natural gas [LNG]
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
Despite the fact that relatively little is known about the ultimate resource potential of natural gas hydrates, it is certain that gas hydrates are a vast storehouse of natural gas and significant technical challenges need ...
Modeling of mass transport of aqueous solutions of multi-solute organics through reverse osmosis membranes in case of solute–membrane affinity: Part 1. Model development and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
A two-dimensional mathematical model is developed for transport of multi-solute liquid (aqueous) solutions through reverse osmosis membranes in which strong affinity may exist between the membrane polymer and the solutes. ...
Role of catalyst type in the selective separation of olefinic and paraffinic hydrocarbons using xerogel-based adsorbents
(
Elsevier
, 2008 , Article)
Resorcinol-Formaldehyde (RF)-based activated carbon xerogels are typically synthesized using a homogeneous, sodium-based, catalyst solution. In this work, the synthesis of RF-based carbon xerogels using other, non-typical, ...
Markedly improved CO2 capture efficiency and stability of gallium substituted hydrotalcites at elevated temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2009 , Article)
Potassium carbonate promoted, Ga3+ substituted hydrotalcites reported here exhibit very high, selective and reversible CO2 capture from an exhaust gas mixture. The 10% Ga3+ substitution improved the CO2 capture from 0.3 ...
Dynamic risk assessment using failure assessment and Bayesian theory
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
To ensure the safety of a process system, engineers use different methods to identify the potential hazards that may cause severe consequences. One of the most popular methods used is quantitative risk assessment (QRA) ...
Influence of adhesive thickness and filler content on the mechanical performance of aluminum single-lap joints bonded with aluminum powder filled epoxy adhesive
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2007 , Article)
The objective of this study was to develop information on the influence of adhesive thickness and aluminum filler content on the mechanical performance of aluminum joints bonded by aluminum powder filled epoxy. The adhesive ...
Efficient visual mixture design of experiments using property clustering techniques
(2009 , Article)
Mixture design is a design of experiments (DOE) tool used to determine the combination of chemical constitutents that deliver a desired response (or property) using a minimum number of experimental runs. While the approach ...
A Property Based Approach for Simultaneous Process and Molecular Design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
In this work, property clustering techniques and group contribution methods are combined to enable simultaneous consideration of process performance requirements and molecular property constraints. Using this methodology, ...
Handling data uncertainties in event tree analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Event tree analysis (ETA) is an established risk analysis technique to assess likelihood (in a probabilistic context) of an accident. The objective data available to estimate the likelihood is often missing (or sparse), ...
