Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Optimization of Critical Infrastructure with Fluids
(2021)
Many of the world's most critical infrastructure systems control the motion of fluids. Despite their importance, the design, operation, and restoration of these infrastructures are sometimes carried out suboptimally. One ...
Fundamental and Applied Electrochemistry for Photonic Applications
(2020)
Photonic devices that selectively transmit or reflect light are highly desirable in a wide variety of applications, including energy harvesting, aesthetic decorations and optical displays. However, most of these high ...
Control of the Electron Energy Distribution Function (EEDF) in a Hall Thruster Plasma.
(2016)
Further improvements to Hall-effect thruster (HET) efficiency in the low voltage regime will help enable more extensive space missions. HET efficiency depends on its ability to ionize and accelerate neutral propellant, ...
Recirculating Planar Crossed-Field Amplifiers
(2019)
The Recirculating Planar Crossed-Field Amplifier (RPCFA) is an adaptation of the Recirculating Planar Magnetron (RPM) that has been the focus of research at the University of Michigan’s Plasma, Pulsed Power and Microwave ...
Acoustic Sensing: Mobile Applications and Frameworks
(2018)
Acoustic sensing has attracted significant attention from both academia and industry due to its ubiquity. Since smartphones and many IoT devices are already equipped with microphones and speakers, it requires nearly zero ...
Local to Global Multi-Scale Multimedia Modeling of Chemical Fate and Population Exposure
(2017)
To assess environmental and human exposure to chemical emissions, two types of approaches are available: 1. intermediate- to high-resolution, substance/location-specific analyses, and 2. lower resolution, less specific ...
Role of Secondary Flows on Flow Separation Induced by Shock/boundary-layer Interaction in Supersonic Inlets
(2017)
Flow separation in the scramjet air intakes is one of the reasons of failure of these
engines which rely on shock waves to achieve flow compression. The shock waves
interact with the boundary layers (Shock/ Boundary Layer ...
Development Of Microcompartmentalization Using Macromolecules And Liquid-Liquid Interfaces.
(2016)
Compartmentalization combined with regulated exchange and release of biomaterials is the key biological function. At the subcellular level, organelles sequester enzymes and substrates for storage while processing and ...
Characterizing Heliospheric and Interstellar Interactions Using Pickup Ion Measurements
(2022)
The Heliosphere, orbiting the galactic center of the Milky Way, is a plasma bubble carved out of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) by the Sun's dynamic and magnetic influence. Its relative motion creates a steady inflow ...
