Allocation of spent nuclear fuel transport casks
The selection of the form of spent nuclear fuel disposition, currently under debate, will precipitate an immediate requirement for spent-fuel transport regardless of the disposition alternative chosen. In this study, a constrained transportation model of the spent fuel cask scheduling problem is …

Factors Affecting Fuel Transport of Firefighting Foam
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) used for fuel firefighting contains polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been identified as environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative resulting in phase out of AFFF. Currently, there are no environmentally friendly foams available that can perform at the …

Liquid fuel transport into the cylinder in spark ignition engines
Liquid fuel inflow into the cylinder is considered an important source of exhaust hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from automotive spark ignition engines particularly during the start-up and subsequent warm up period. As fuel does not readily vaporize under cold engine conditions, significant quantities …

Effect of directed port air flow on liquid fuel transport in a port fuel injected spark ignition engine
… a significant portion of the trip total. Liquid fuel is a major source of HC emissions during the cold start and fast idle period. Thus the control of liquid fuel, particularly during startup, is required for future engine designs. The effect of a turbulence plate, or charge motion control valve, …

Multiscale Investigation of Surfactant-Driven Fuel Resistance
… substances (PFAS), to rapidly spread across fuel surfaces and form stable barriers that prevent vapor release. However, increasing evidence of PFAS toxicity, persistence, and environmental accumulation has led to growing regulatory and societal pressure to eliminate these compounds from …

Design of high-ionic conductivity electrodes for direct methanol fuel cells
… porous electrodes are used in low-temperature fuel cells to provide maximum catalyst surface area, while taking up little volume and using minimum catalyst material. In Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs), however, much of the catalyst included in the anode is significantly under-utilized, while …

Learning the ABC's of Ribose Transport Using Biophysical Methods
<p>ATP-binding cassette transporters comprise a large superfamily of proteins that are involved in a variety of biological phenomenon, from bacterial metabolism to cellular homeostasis, antigen-presentation, and drug resistance. These proteins are implicated in a variety of clinically relevant …

Scalable Processing Routes for Solid-State Energy Conversion and Storage Devices
… batteries (ASSBs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and is a major determinate for their performance and the economic value in electrochemical storage and conversion applications. The optimization of the SE in ASSBs and SOFCs along with the entire electrochemical cell is mired with …
