Show moreBlood is a multiphase mixture of liquid plasma and solid blood cells. The primary objective of this thesis is to numerically model the motion of red blood cells and platelets in blood vessels using kinetic theory based multiphase flow transport phenomena. Many experimental observations over the years have concluded that the concentration of platelets and red blood cells vary across the radius of the blood vessel. It has been shown that shear drives the platelets towards the wall, while the red blood cells move towards the center of the blood vessel. Other studies have observed that the platelet adhesion at the walls of the vessel is strongly dependent on the wall shear rate and the concentration of red blood cells. Platelet adhesion to the walls of the vessel has been explained by various shear induced diffusion models over the past few years. The diffusion models are heavily dependent on empirical relations which do not fully explain the phenomena behind the migration. In this study we postulate the dependence of red blood cell concentration on the migration of platelets using kinetic theory. The experimentally measured motion of platelets to the wall and red blood cells to the center is explained by unequal granular temperature kinetic theory. The migration of platelets in the presence of red blood cells is caused by the high granular pressure produced by the random oscillations of the red blood cells and the dissipation of platelet random energy at the walls. At the wall the shear has the highest value. This produces a high granular pressure and temperature which drive the red blood cells towards the center. An analytical solution for the platelet concentration was derived.

Show moreThis work discuss the inventory creep phenomenon that occurs in production processes. Most production process use inventory to store their products for max- imizing profit. When planning and scheduling control methods were applied, these processes encountered this phenomenon at the end of the controlled horizon. We applied the economic model protective control on a production process example and demonstrate the effect the inventory creep in open-loop and closed-loop solutions. An approach is developed to negate this problem by implementing a novel terminal constraints that showed a promising results in the overall performance of the process.

Show morePolymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) technology has several underlying problems (lifetime, reliability and cost) that need to be resolved as a prerequisite for large-scale commercialization. Amongst these, the lifetime issue is regarded as critical. From the perspective of durability, the current state-of-the-art electrocatalyst, viz. platinum (Pt) supported on high surface area carbon, suffers substantial degradation during fuel cell operation. A key pathway for electrocatalyst degradation is the corrosion of the carbon support. During fuel cell startup and shutdown in automotive applications, the cathode potential undergoes excursions of up to 1.6 V. At these high potentials, the carbon corrosion reaction is significantly accelerated, leading to irreversible carbon loss at the electrode. The best way to eliminate the issue of support corrosion in PEFCs is to develop alternate corrosion-resistant catalyst supports. This dissertation investigates (i) mixed oxides of silica (SiO2) and ruthenia (RuO2) and (ii) tantalum modified titanium oxide (Ta0.3Ti0.7O2) for use as corrosion-resistant electrocatalyst supports in PEFCs, especially for the automotive sector, using detailed microstructure characterization and electrochemical evaluation, including two carefully chosen accelerated stress tests (startstop cycling to simulate fuel cell vehicle start-up and shut-down, and load cycling to simulate full-load to no-load transitions in the vehicle during operation). RuO2–SiO2 (0.5:0.5) displayed outstanding electrochemical stability upon exposure to rigorous accelerated potential cycling tests that mimic automotive drive cycles. The Pt/RuO2–SiO2 (0.5:0.5) electrocatalyst yielded a mass activity of 50 mA/mgPt and an area specific activity of 156.3 μA/cm2 at 0.9 V vs. RHE when tested in a fuel cell operating at 80 ºC and 75% RH. A 20 wt.% Pt/Ta0.3Ti0.7O2 catalyst was compared in terms of activity and stability against benchmark Pt/C catalysts. The importance of a corrosion resistant support in a PEFC was demonstrated by monitoring performance loss during start-stop cycling and load cycling; while load cycling did not cause a performance drop, the corrosion-resistant nature of the Ta0.3Ti0.7O2 support helped prevent catastrophic fuel cell failure observed in carbon-supported catalysts during start-stop cycling. Corrosion-resistant electrode materials can not only be applied to PEFCs but can also be extended to other electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices such as redox-flow batteries and electrolyzers. The results of this work also indicate suitable strategies for incorporation of other possible dopants (such as Nb, W and Zr) within TiO2, as well as the use of other metal oxides (such as SnO2 and HfO2) as alternative catalyst supports.
