Dynamics of Acoustically Levitated Ice Impacts on Smooth and Textured Surfaces: Effects of Surface Roughness, Elasticity, and Structure
Adam McElligott, André Guerra, Alexandre Brailovski +6
Through acoustically levitated ice formation and subsequent release onto a controlled area, this study introduces a third class of ice-countering system beyond de- and anti-icing:…
Effects of Poly(styrene/pentafluorostyrene-block-vinylpyrrolidone) Amphiphilic Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors on the Dynamic Viscosity of Methane Hydrate Systems at High-Pressure Driving Forces
Chong Yang Du, André Guerra, Adam McElligott +2
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization with a switchable chain-transfer agent was employed to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers poly(styrene-b-vinylp…
Non-Einsteinian Viscosity Behavior in Plasma-Functionalized Graphene Nanoflake Nanofluids and their Effect on the Dynamic Viscosity of Methane Hydrate Systems
Adam McElligott, André Guerra, Chong Yang Du +3
Water's viscosity dependence on pressure was also not affected by O-GNFs, except at 10 ppm, where the shuttle effect may have increased the presence of hydrophobic methane bubbles…
Interfacial Effects during Phase Change in Multiple Levitated Tetrahydrofuran Hydrate Droplets
Adam McElligott, André Guerra, Alexia Denoncourt +2
In this study, using direct digital and infrared imaging techniques, the freezing of up to three simultaneous THF hydrate droplets was investigated for the first time. Nucleation w…
Effects of Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) on the Dynamic Viscosity of Methane Hydrate Systems at High-Pressure Driving Forces: Investigation of Concentration, Molecular Weight, and Shear Rate
Chong Yang Du, André Guerra, Adam McElligott +3
The viscosity of methane hydrate slurries with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) at 700 and 7000 ppm by weight, molecular weights of 40,000 (PVP40) and 360,000 (PVP360) Da, and shear ra…
TinyLev Acoustically Levitated Water: Direct Observation of Collective, Inter-Droplet Effects through Morphological and Thermal Analysis of Multiple Droplets
Adam McElligott, André Guerra, Michael J. Wood +3
Initially, the acoustic field forced the droplets into an oblate spheroid shape, though the counteracting force of the cooling stream caused them to circularize. Droplet geometry w…
