Transport characteristics of saturated gas diffusion layers treated with hydrophobic coatings

Sophia Haussener, Seyedmohamad Moosavi

Water flooding of cathodic gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells at high current densities or low temperatures limits efficient operation due to disturbed transport of reactants to the catalytic sites or products away into the ...

Pressure-dependent elastic and transport properties of porous and permeable rocks: Microstructural control

Lucas Xan Pimienta

Although several studies aimed at linking electrical and hydraulic transport properties in rocks, the existing models remain at most incomplete. Based on this observation, in addition to the transport properties, this contribution investigates the pressure ...

Damage cluster distributions in numerical concrete at the mesoscale

Jean-François Molinari, Okan Yilmaz

We investigate the size distribution of damage clusters in concrete under uniaxial tension loading conditions. Using the finite-element method, the concrete is modeled at the mesoscale by a random distribution of elastic spherical aggregates within an elas ...

Host-guest chemistry with water-soluble gold nanoparticle supraspheres

Francesco Stellacci

The uptake of molecular guests, a hallmark of the supramolecular chemistry of cages and containers, has yet to be documented for soluble assemblies of metal nanoparticles. Here we demonstrate that gold nanoparticle-based supraspheres serve as a host for th ...

Predicting the yield stress of paraffin-wax suspensions

Paul Bowen

An empirical modification of the Yodel model was developed for the prediction of the yield stress of concentrated, particulate, paraffin-wax suspensions, with a solids loading in the range of 47-57 vol.%, used in the low-pressure injection moulding (LPIM). ...

Network Alignment: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

Ehsan Kazemi

Networks are central in the modeling and analysis of many large-scale human and technical systems, and they have applications in diverse fields such as computer science, biology, social sciences, and economics. Recently, network mining has been an active a ...

Enhanced permeation arising from dual transport pathways in hybrid polymer-MOF membranes

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun

The rise of anthropogenic global warming has sparked new interest in developing strategies to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. Conventional carbon capture processes are not economically viable at scale due to their enormous energy cost. Membrane-based se ...

Modeling of percolation of globular-equiaxed grains in Al-Cu alloys

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Christophe Mondoux

A new mesoscopic model able to describe percolation of globular-equiaxed grains, highly relevant for hot tearing formation in castings, has been developed. This model is inspired from the granular model of Sistaninia et al. [1-5] that considers polyhedral ...

Tunneling conductivity in anisotropic nanofiber composites: a percolation-based model

Claudio Grimaldi

The critical path approximation ('CPA') is integrated with a lattice-based approach to percolation to provide a model for conductivity in nanofiber-based composites. Our treatment incorporates a recent estimate for the anisotropy in tunneling-based conduct ...
