As a lunar lander approaches the surface, the impinging exhaust gases entrain regolith into a high velocity spray. This two-phase spray can be damaging to nearby structures, such as a lunar outpost. One way of mitigating this damage is to use a berm or fence to shield nearby structures from the dust spray. In this work, we use a coupled continuum – DSMC (direct simulation Monte Carlo) solver to...

catalysts with the formula of laco(1+x)o(3+δ), where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, were studied for oxidation of co and c2h6 in a synthetic exhaust gas, comprising 6.0 % co and 0.2 % c2h6 in ar. ethane was selected as a model for hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. the performance of catalysts is correlated to their properties, particularly their redox in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. xrd patterns show perovsk...

PURPOSE The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of air-gas exchange techniques and the factors that influence the final concentration of an intraocular gas tamponade. Parameters were varied to find the optimum method of performing an air-gas exchange in ideal circumstances. METHODS A computer model of the eye was designed using 3D software with fluid flow analysis capabil...

One of the aims of the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) is to understand how to facilitate the introduction of technologies capable of making deep reductions in CO2 emissions, for example capture and geological storage of CO2. This technology faces a number of barriers to its introduction, such as the high cost of capture of CO2 from power plant. This high cost arises from the amount ...
