Numerical Simulations for Plowing Soil Process

The industrial drainage plow is a mechanized tool used for the installation of agricultural drainage and land reclamation. This research aims to optimize the plow’s shape for various soil conditions to increase the tile installation speed and the service life, and to reduce the drag force, which will reduce the fuel consumption. Numerical methods will […]

Role of Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Physician and Emotional Symptoms of Opioid Withdrawal

With the number of opioid-related deaths continuing to rise, the demand for an effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is growing. While opioid antagonists are effective, compliance is an issue since they induce withdrawal. The botanical compound, TGIR-C is a promising non-opioid alternative that treats detoxification without inducing withdrawal. Further research on its neural […]

Advancing the Utility of Electrochemical Pressure Impedance Spectroscopy (EPIS) as a New Fuel Cell Diagnostic Technique

Fuel cells are versatile, low-emission alternative energy sources, but their optimization and failure analyses are complex due to their black-box nature. For fuel cells to perform at peak proficiency, each component requires a different level of hydration, yet these parameters are currently unattainable with conventional diagnostic techniques. In consultation with Greenlight Innovation, this project focuses […]

Mathematical Modelling of Coke Formation in Thermal Cracking Units

Thermal cracking of ethane (from natural gas) is used to make ethylene, a chemical used for producing plastics. Thermal cracking occurs in metal tubes that pass through a furnace, where heat generated in the combustion chamber outside of the tubes makes the cracking reactions inside the tubes occur at high rates. Coke is an undesirable […]
