Asymmetric membranes are generally prepared by the phase inversion techniques, the principal steps of which involve casting a thin film of a homogeneous polymer solution onto a suitable substrate, followed by quenching in a nonsolvent bath to precipitate the membrane film. Since most studies of the process has been concerned with the development of specific preparation recipies, explanations of structure formation have generally been ad-hoc and qualitative. This paper presents the results of recent modelling studies which have been concerned with the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the quenching step.

Analytical Solution of Nonlinear Strain Hardening Preheated Pressure Tube Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2008-01-01) The analytical solution of a nonlinear strain hardening preheated tube subjected to internal pressure is presented. A state of generalized plane strain, small deformations, and temperature gradients are assumed. The analytical plastic model is based on the incremental theory of plasticity, Tresca´s yield criterion, its associated flow rule, and a Swift-type nonlinear hardening law. Solutions for linearly hardening and perfectly plastic materials are also presented.
Investigation of phase inversion behavior of cellulose- ionic liquid solutions in relationship with membrane formation Durmaz, Elif Nur; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Department of Chemical Engineering (2017) Cellulose membranes were produced from ionic liquid solutions by phase inversion technique and thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the process were investigated to relate these to membrane morphology and performance. In thermodynamics part, polymer-solvent, polymer-nonsolvent and polymer-solvent-nonsolvent interactions were examined experimentally, together with Hansen solubility parameter estimations. Kinetics part consisted of measuring phase inversion rate. Obtained membranes were characterized by their...
Numerical simulation of flow boiling from an artificial cavity in a microchannel Jafari, Rahim; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2016-06-01) Cahn Hilliard phase-field method is used to numerically simulate subcooled water boiling in which nucleation occurs from an artificial cavity on the inner surface of a microchannel. The boiling initiates from a cavity and the growth and departure of the nucleated bubbles from the cavity are simulated. The velocity, temperature and pressure distributions inside the microchannel have been analyzed. The bubble generation frequency increases by increasing inlet mass flux. For this case of study, the rising tren...
Thermal contact conductance of nominaly flat surfaces Yüncü, Hafit (2006-11-01) The variation of thermal conductance of contact has been investigated as a function of apparent contact pressure experimentally. Experimental data has been obtained for steel, brass, copper and aluminum test pieces having different surface roughness over a wide range of contact pressures. Experimental results are compared with the theoretical predictions of an existing theory. Comparison revealed good agreement of trend with the experimental data, however, numerical values vary widely. Theory can predict th...
Investigation of digester f/m ratio as a parameter to affect sludge minimization and gas production of ultrasonically treated sludge Köksoy, Gözde Tuğba; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2009) Ultrasonic sludge disintegration –the most commonly used mechanical pretreatment method- enables the occurrence of cavitation bubbles to extract intracellular material from the cell into aqueous phase. However, there is a lack of information on the volatile solids loading on the anaerobic digestion process performance of ultrasonically treated sludge. In this thesis work, the effect of sonication on disintegration of waste activated sludge (WAS) and an important parameter digester F/M (food to microorganism...
