An empirical correlation-based model to predict solid-fluid phase equilibria and phase separation of the ternary system CH4-CO2-H2S
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
To cover the expected increased demand for natural gas, energy industry has to exploit sour gas reserves located around the world. However, acid gases have to be removed before the natural gas produced from these fields ...
Adsorption energy and pore-size distributions of activated carbons calculated using Hill's model
(
Multi-Science Publishing Co. Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
An integral equation derived using a statistical physics treatment by considering the adsorption energy distribution (AED) was used to model the adsorption of ethylene and ethane on resorcinol-formaldehyde-based activated ...
A rapid method for low temperature microencapsulation of phase change materials (Pcms) using a coiled tube ultraviolet reactor
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Microencapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) remain a suitable option within building materials, as they contribute to the thermal mass and provide an energy buffer, an added benefit. This paper presents a novel ...
Controlled thermal oxidative crosslinking of polymers of intrinsic microporosity towards tunable molecular sieve membranes
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2014 , Article)
Organic open frameworks with well-defined micropore (pore dimensions below 2 nm) structure are attractive next-generation materials for gas sorption, storage, catalysis and molecular level separations. Polymers of intrinsic ...
Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2012 , Article)
Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ...
Carbon dioxide sequestration and methane removal from exhaust gases using resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogel
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
The world is faced with intrinsic environmental issues. Among these issues, the minimization of greenhouse gas emission to acceptable levels presents a high priority. This study seeks to help to reduce the greenhouse effect ...
Influence of carbon uniformity on its characteristics and adsorption capacities of CO2 and CH4 gases
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Activated carbons of resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogels (AC-RFA) were prepared and mixed with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with various ratios. Samples were characterized by different techniques. The novelty of the ...
Dopant-free hole-transporting materials for stable and efficient perovskite solar cells
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Molecularly engineered novel dopant-free hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) combined with mixed-perovskite (FAPbI3)0.85(MAPbBr3)0.15 (MA: CH3NH3+, FA: NH=CHNH3+) that exhibit an excellent power ...
Efficacy of using slurry of metal-coated microencapsulated PCM for cooling in a micro-channel heat exchanger
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper provides a method of heat transfer enhancement using microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurries, utilizing the latent heat of PCM during melting. The values of heat transfer coefficient obtained for ...
Impact of synthesis conditions on meso- and macropore structures of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Springer
, 2011 , Article)
Xerogels were prepared by the sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol with formaldehyde at different conditions. The effects of different synthesis factors (namely, resorcinol-to-formaldehyde ratio, resorcinol-to-water ratio, ...
