We introduce and present the fundamentals of stress-localization concept to minimize adhesion ice or other contaminants on a surface.
Scale formation is a common problem in wide range of industries such as oil and gas, water desalination, food processing. Conventional solutions for this including mechanical removal chemical dissolution are inefficient, costly, sometimes environmentally hazardous. Surface modification approaches have shown promises to address challenge. However, these suffer from intrinsic existence solid–liquid interfaces leading high rate scale nucleation adhesion strength the formed scale. Here, we...
Evaporation is a fundamental and core phenomenon in broad range of disciplines including power generation refrigeration systems, desalination, electronic/photonic cooling, aviation even biosciences. Despite its importance, the current theories on evaporation suffer from fitting coefficients with reported values varying few orders magnitude. Lack sound model impedes simulation prediction characteristics many systems these disciplines. Here, we studied at planar liquid–vapor interface through...
Advancement in high-performance photonics/electronics devices has boosted generated thermal energy, making management a bottleneck for accelerated innovation these disciplines. Although various methods have been used to tackle the problem, evaporation with nanometer fluid thickness is one of most promising approaches future technological demands. Here, we studied thin-film nanochannels under absolute negative pressure both transient and steady-state conditions. We demonstrated that can be...
Structural electrodes made of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and aramid nanofiber (ANF) are promising candidates for future structural supercapacitors. In this study, the influence nanoarchitecture on effective ionic diffusivity, porosity, tortuosity in rGO/ANF is investigated through multiphysics computational modeling. Two specific nanoarchitectures, namely, "house cards" "layered" structures, evaluated. The results obtained from modeling compared to porous media approach show that widely...
Growing demands for bio-friendly antifouling surfaces have stimulated the development of new and ever-improving material paradigms. Despite notable progress in coatings, biofouling problem remains a critical challenge. In addition to characteristics, mechanically stressed such as ship hulls, piping systems, heat exchangers require long-term durability marine environments. Here, we introduce generation anti-biofouling coatings with superior characteristics high mechanical, chemical...

Gas hydrate formation is a high-risk and common flow assurance problem in subsea oil production plants. The modern strategies to mitigate have switched from thermodynamic inhibition risk management. In this new mitigation strategy, allowed as long it does not lead plugging of pipelines. Thus, understanding the growth kinetics gas hydrates plays critical role management strategies. Here, we report accurate situ approach probe formation. This based on hot-wire method, which probes thermal...
Abstract With current developments underway at the University of Houston, 4× high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) tapes are expected to reach a fourfold critical density improvement 30 K and 3 T as part an Advanced Research Projects Agency‐Energy (ARPA‐E)‐sponsored project. The impetus for this project is develop deploy cost‐effective direct drive HTS generators large offshore wind turbine generators. improved conductor performance over 1× projected allow...
