We report the investigation of laser-synthesized Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in an organic liquid environment by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technique. Colloidal Ag-NPs with an average diameter of 10 nm in two-propanol solution through nanosecond pulsed laser ablation were synthesized. THz-TDS measurements were performed on different volumetric concentration of Ag-NPs suspensions placed in 2-mm path length quartz cuvette. Due to the dispersive and highly absorptive nature of the nano liquids, an approach based on extracting the optical properties through the changes in amplitude and phase solely around the main peak of THz waveform is developed. This approach allowed for an accurate estimation of the complex refractive index of the Metallic-NPs suspension for the different prepared volumetric concentrations. In addition, using Maxwell-Garnett theory, the NP concentration is also extracted. This method shows that the time-domain nature of the THz pulse measurement technique is extremely useful in instances where slight variations in highly dispersive samples need to be investigated.

Comparison of terahertz technologies for detection and identification of explosives Beigang, Rene; Biedron, Sandra G.; Dyjak, Slawomir; Ellrich, Frank; Haakestad, Magnus W.; Huebsch, Daniel; Kartaloglu, Tolga; Ozbay, Ekmel; Ospald, Frank; Palka, Norbert; Puc, Uros; Czerwinska, Elzbieta; Sahin, Asaf B.; Sesek, Aleksander; Trontelj, Janez; Svigelj, Andrej; Altan, Hakan; van Rheenen, Arthur D.; Walczakowski, Michal (2014-05-06) We present results on the comparison of different THz technologies for the detection and identification of a variety of explosives from our laboratory tests that were carried out in the framework of NATO SET-193 “THz technology for stand-off detection of explosives: from laboratory spectroscopy to detection in the field” under the same controlled conditions. Several laser-pumped pulsed broadband THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) systems as well as one electronic frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) d...
Adsorption of volatile organic compounds on soil and prediction of desorption breakthroughs Yeo, SD; Tuncer, E; Akgerman, A (Informa UK Limited, 1997-01-01) Vapor extraction of volatile organic compounds from soil was investigated by performing adsorption and desorption experiments of trichloroethylene, trichloroethane, and chlorobenzene on soil particles. The adsorption breakthrough curves were obtained using a dynamic response technique based on frontal analysis chromatography. The shape of the breakthrough curves indicated that the adsorption process was close to an ideal adsorption system of no mass transfer resistance, no axial dispersion, and infinitesima...
Experimental research on in-tube condensation under steady-state and transient conditions Tanrikut, A; Yesin, O (2005-01-01) In this research study, in-tube condensation in the presence of air was investigated experimentally at a heat exchanger of countercurrent type for different operating conditions. The test matrix for the steady-state condition covers the range of pressures P = 1.8 to 5.5 bars, vapor Reynolds numbers Re, = 45 000 to 94 000, and inlet air mass fraction values Xi = 0 to 52%. The effect of air manifests itself by a reduction in the local heat flux and the local heat transfer coefficient. The local heat transfer ...
Adsorption calorimetry in supported catalyst characterization : adsorption structure sensitivity on pt(y-Al2o3 Üner, Murat; Üner, Deniz; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) In this study, the structure sensitivity of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide adsorption was investigated by changing the metal particle size of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. 2 % Pt/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness method; the particle size of the catalysts was manipulated by calcining at different temperatures. The dispersion values for the catalysts calcined in air at 683K, 773K and 823K were measured as 0.62, 0.20 and 0.03 respectively. The differential heats of adsorption of hydrogen, carbon ...
Polyimide and PEBAX flat and hollow fiber membranes for gas separation Özdemir, Nur Konçüy; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Department of Chemical Engineering (2017) This thesis analyzes the effect of polyimide (PI) hollow fiber membrane spinning conditions including dope solution flow rate, bore liquid flow rate, addition of more volatile solvent to dope solution, air gap height and heating zone temperature on the ideal gas separation performance and membrane morphology. The effect of PEBAX1657 coating of PI hollow fiber membrane was also investigated.
