Large-scale simulations of aluminosilicate zeolites were conducted to identify structures that possess large CO2 uptake for postcombustion carbon dioxide capture. In this study, we discovered that the aluminosilicate zeolite structures with the highest CO2 ...
Cloud formation characteristics of the water-soluble organic fraction (WSOC) of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from the ozonolysis of alkene hydrocarbons (terpinolene, 1-methlycycloheptene and cycloheptene) are studied. Based on size-resolved measu ...
In the current work, free volume concepts, primarily applied to glass formers in the literature, were transferred to ionic liquids (ILs). A series of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (C4MIM) based ILs was investigated by Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spec ...
The paper presents some of the advanced experimental techniques and apparatuses that have been developed by the authors for testing the hydro-mechanical behaviour of shales. A methodology established for the analysis of the water retention behaviour in non ...
L'énoncé théorique aborde le thème du plan de logement dit “neutre”, c'est-à-dire un plan à couloir central, distribuant une série de pièces de dimension équivalente, suffisamment importante pour abriter les différentes fonctions du logement, offrant ainsi ...
Shales are among the most considered geomaterials in current energy-related geomechanical investigations; they are involved in engineering applications such as the unconventional extraction of natural gas, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological sto ...
The ingress of sulfate ions into cementitious materials leads to the formation of ettringite, gypsum and other phases. The increase in solid volume through the formation of these phases is often assumed to be the only reason for expansion. In this paper we ...
In this study, we used Hidden Interface-Indirect Nanoplasmonic Sensing (HI-INPS) for real time monitoring of dye impregnation (adsorption-diffusion process) of mesoporous TiO2 electrodes of the kind used in dye-sensitized solar cells. We measured the dye p ...
Oscillating structures and actuators can induce flow kinematics that enhances mixing. This approach is specifically effective for mixing enhancement in meso-scale channels, where the flow kinematics can be actively controlled using micro-electro-mechanical ...
An effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient has been calculated for two solidifying Al - 4.5 wt.% Cu and Al - 10 wt.% Cu alloys as a function of the volume fraction of solid. For this purpose, in situ X-ray tomography was performed on these alloys. For eac ...
