Magnetic Resonance Studies of the Diffusion Dynamics of Molecular Systems Relevant to Fischer-Tropsch Catalysis
The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction is a heterogeneous catalytic reaction that produces synthetic linear hydrocarbon fuels from syngas. Recently there has been renewed academic and industrial interest in the reaction due to ... -
Cleaning viscoplastic soil layers from flat surfaces using impinging water jets
Impinging liquid jets are widely used in industry to clean unwanted soil layers from the internal walls of storage tanks and mixing vessels. Viscoplastic layers are common in a wide range of industrial applications and are ... -
Modelling the Extrusion of a Hard-Metal Paste
Paste extrusion is a bulk forming technique used widely in the ceramics, food, metal and polymer industries, amongst others. This dissertation develops (i) measurements of the friction and bulk constitutive behaviour of ... -
Modelling the self-assembly and structure of carbonaceous nanoparticles
The self-assembly and structure of carbonaceous particles are investigated using molecular modelling methods. This provides a deeper understanding of molecular interactions relevant to pollutant formation and growth in ...
