      Water condensation is an ubiquitous phenomenon that happens widely in nature. It is also used in industrial applications such as water harvesting, desalination systems, thermal management and power generation. Filmwise ...
    • Volatile Organic Components Adsorption on Activated Carbon 

      Eroshkin, Sviatoslav (Master thesis, 2022)
      Some volatile organic components may cause serious human health and environmental threats. These components are "global warming agents" that contribute to climate change. While the negative impact of methane and carbon ...
    • Vortex dislocation mechanisms in the near wake of a step cylinder
