(Master thesis, 2014)The shale gas production has brought a revolution in US energy market and the global prospect of shale gas production is on continuous increase. The advancements in hydraulic fracturing made it possible to extract very low ... -
CeO2-ZrO2-WO3-based catalysts for Selective Catalytic Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides by Ammonia
(Master thesis, 2018)Cerium, zirconium and tungsten based catalysts with addition of 3% copper were prepared through the hydrothermal method and incipient wetness impregnation method. The three catalysts produced were named CZW (hydrothermal ... -
CFD Simulation of Concentration Sensor
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis deals with the CFD modelling of a NaCl concentration sensor, specifically its pressure drop, but also velocity and pressure profile. The main goal of the work is twofold: firstly, to confirm whether the simulations ... -
Characterization and Modelling of Vapor Liquid Equilibrium of 1,3-Diaminopropane for CO2 Capture: - Using e-NRTL framework
(Master thesis, 2012)Carbon dioxide belongs to the class of greenhouse gases which are highly influential in global warming. Sometime ago, it was also proposed in some circles that Global warming is most like a conspiracy than a reality, but ... -
Characterization and Thermal/Catalytic Upgrading of Kerogen in a Green River Oil Shale
(Master thesis, 2015)Comprehensive structural characterization of oil shale (kerogen) and subsequent upgrading to fuels are of paramount scientific and industrial importance, calling for a better understanding. In this work, an oil shale from ... -
Characterization of the Electrical Resistivity and Water Sorption Properties of a Semiconducting Swelling Tape
(Master thesis, 2018)In presence of moisture and localized field enhancements water trees might develop within the polymeric insulation of HV subsea power cables. Water trees tend to grow unnoticeable and deteriorate the insulation properties ... -
