Short-term Wind Farm Generation Forecast using Spatial-Temporal Analysis

Efficient integration of wind energy in power grids is challenging due to the variability of wind energy. The uncertainty of wind impacts various system level considerations, such as the reliability and operational planning of power grids. Mischaracterizing these uncertainties can lead to significant loss of the wind generation. Accurate wind generation...

Pressure sensitive polymer films with reversible porosity

Project ID: D2018-23BackgroundPressure sensing is used in the automobile, packaging, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Commercially available pressure-sensing films rely on a reaction created when microcapsules burst upon applied pressure. However, these films only function in a limited temperature range and do not work in wet or oily environments....

Metal Matrix-Hydrophobic Nanoparticle Composites for Promoting Dropwise Condensation

Water vapor condensation is an essential aspect of many technologies in energy generation, desalination, and air conditioning. An increased heat transfer rate during water vapor condensation could lead to considerable economic savings as well as environmental benefits. Hydrophobization improves heat transfer by switching the condensation mode from filmwise...

Titanium Dioxide Hybrid Ion Exchange Resin for Simultaneously Removing Arsenic & Nitrate

Ion exchange is widely used within industry and public infrastructure to remove metallic, organic, or inorganic particles from water. Ion exchange filters contain activated carbon or spongy polymer beads, called resin, which have been tailored to remove a specific group of contaminants with similar chemistry. Hybrid ion exchange resins are capable of...

Concept of a System for Photocatalytic Reduction of Nitrate in Water

Nitrate is the most prevalent pollutant of ground water in the United States and is very common worldwide. Common sources of nitrates are fertilizers, animal feedlots, municipal wastewater, and septic systems. The level of nitrate is regulated in drinking water because high nitrate levels are known to cause Methemoglobinemia, a disease that prevents...

Anti-Biofilm Compound 1 (ABC-1) and Associated Derivative Molecules

IntroductionBacteria commonly attach to living and nonliving surfaces in the form of biofilms. In this morphology, the bacteria synthesize a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that provide the biofilm with protection and structural support. The EPS also gives the biofilm resistance to antibiotics and immune system clearance, making biofilms...
