Cowpea seed is a pulse which is very rich in vital micronutrients but also in anti-nutritional factors such as α-galactosides (verbascose, stachyose and raffinose) that can cause digestive disorders after consumption. The objective of this work was to identify the transport and ... En savoir plus
This study allows to establish the possibility to carry out the pyrolysis of mixtures of ethane-propane in an existing steam-cracking reactor (SCR) originally designed for ethane pyrolysis. The final goal of this study was to minimize new investments, e.g. a purchase of new equipment, ... En savoir plus
The transport of fluid through nanochannels is of importance in a variety of technological applications, including biological sensing, energy storage and conversion, chemical separation and many others. Synthetic nanofluidic architectures that mimic the gating functions of biological ion ... En savoir plus
There is great interest in developing all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. They are ideal micro-power sources for many applications in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles and biomedical engineering. The batteries are possessed of high energy and power densities, good ... En savoir plus
Hydrogen has great potential to be the fuel of the future through utilization in fuel cells, but it is rarely found naturally and must be produced in energy-intensive processes. Steam reforming, the process of heating natural gas and steam in the presence of a catalyst to drive a ... En savoir plus
Vacuum cooling is a common unit operation in the leafy greens industry and is considered as a very efficient approach to extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. However, during this popular process, bacteria can internalize into the produce. This emphasizes the need for better ... En savoir plus
Optimization of mixing in microfluidic devices is a popular application of computational fluid dynamics software packages, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, with an increasing number of studies being published on the topic. On one hand, the laminar nature of the flow and lack of turbulence in ... En savoir plus
Propylene is the second most important olefin and the second largest volume industrial chemical produced globally. In 2015, the global demand for propylene was about 94 million metric tons. The largest use for propylene is the production of polypropylene, consuming 67% of propylene ... En savoir plus
Solar energy storage has been an extensive research topic among the several thermal energy applications over the past three decades. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems in general, improve the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between ... En savoir plus
Oxygen delignification is a technology established worldwide and a common operation in pulp mills that use Kraft cooking. The reasons for using this technology are the reduction of organochlorine compounds in the effluents, and economy of chemicals in the bleaching stage. The objective ... En savoir plus
