Multiphase Flow Modelling of Electrochemical Systems: an analytical approach

The primary objective of this work is to provide new analytical models to support the theoretical understanding of multiphase flows in various electrochemical systems. Most of the previous works in this field use either experiments or numerical simulations to understand the hydrodynamics of the multiphase flows. In this thesis, various new...

Development of a Closed-loop degaussing system: Towards magnetic unobservable vessels

The focus of this thesis is to study the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials, parameter estimates of the material properties of ferromagnetic materials, and to introduce a mathematical physics model that can accurately describe the temporal changes of the magnetic state of a naval vessel. The aspects mentioned are important steps in the...

A transient thermal sensation equation fit for the modified Stolwijk model

There are different thermal perception models linked to a mathematical thermophysiological human model, with which the thermal sensation under stationary and/or dynamic conditions can be evaluated. Each of these perception and thermophysiological models have their own field of application. Stolwijk developed a thermophysiological human model...

Computational modeling of therapy on pancreatic cancer in its early stages

More than eighty percent of pancreatic cancer involves ductal adenocarcinoma with an abundant desmoplastic extracellular matrix surrounding the solid tumor entity. This aberrant tumor microenvironment facilitates a strong resistance of pancreatic cancer to medication. Although various therapeutic strategies have been reported to be effective...

Effect of homogeneous acidic catalyst on mechanical strength of trishydrazone hydrogels: Characterization and optimization studies

Characterization utilizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the presence of all the expected elements found in trishydrazone hydrogels (3). Morphological study on confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed the branching and bundling of fibers that led hydrogels network as well as the...

Preferential crystallization for the purification of similar hydrophobic polyphenols

BACKGROUND: Preferential crystallization is a common technique used in the purification of enantiomers, proving that crystallization may also be applied to the purification of very similar molecules by seeding the solution with the desired compound. Nonetheless, its application to other organic molecules is less widely documented in the...
