Experimental methods in chemical engineering: X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy‐XPS

Experimental Foundations of Chemical Engineering

Fundamental knowledge consists of understanding not only the models which correlate and rationalized observations but also the quantity and quality of the observations. The degree of correlation attempted should be consistent with this quantity and quality. The scientist correlates and rationalizes observations primarily to broaden his general understanding of the physical universe, and his eff...

Experimental modeling methods in Industrial Engineering

Dynamic approaches to a management system of the present industrial practice, forcing businesses to address management issues in-house continuous improvement of production and non-production processes. Experience has repeatedly demonstrated the need for a system approach not only in analysis but also in the planning and actual implementation of these processes. Therefore, the contribution is fo...

CE 180: Experimental Methods in Earthquake Engineering

This experiment consists of determining the modal properties of a model structure. Many buildings in the practical world can be reasonably approximated by shear structures in which only one translational degree of freedom is taken into account for each floor level. Due to the simple characteristics of a shear structure, it is possible to determine its modal properties, such as the natural frequ...

Parallel Extrapolation Methods and their Application in Chemical Engineering

We study the parallelization of linearly{implicit extrapolation methods for the solution of large scale systems of diierential algebraic equations arising in a method of lines (MOL) treatment of partial diierential equations. In our approach we combine a slightly overlapping domain decomposition together with a polynomial block Neumann preconditioner. Through the explicit computation of the mat...
