(2019)This investigation of complex corrosion inhibition mechanisms involved application of state-of-the-art analytical techniques that allowed for characterizing interfaces between corrosion-inhibiting surface films and carbon ...
-
(2019)Corrosion of mild steel under CO2 conditions is a major issue in the oil and gas industry. This thesis provides novel methodology for in-situ characterization of corrosion inhibitor films at carbon steel and under corrosive ...
-
(2019)The reactivity (kinetics, reactive sites) of SO4•– with natural organic matter (NOM) showing different structural character was compared with that of •OH using ultrahigh resolution MS (FT-ICR MS). The interfacial interaction ...
-
(2019)Although multiple advanced tools and methods are available for gait analysis, the gait and its related disorders are usually assessed by visual inspection in the clinical environment. This thesis aims to introduce a gait ...
-
(2019)The use of rutile as a pathfinder to ore was assessed by comparing the rutile trace element chemistry from ores (e.g. Au, VHMS, Au-Cu, carbonatites, pegmatites) to that from barren rock sources. Rutile from Au ore could ...
-
(2019)This manuscript aims to study destabilised calcium hydrides system as thermal energy storage for concentration solar power. Using thermodynamic calculation and cost estimation, 3 different systems has been selected for ...
-
(2019)The sponsored bench-top scale mono-ethylene glycol pilot plant located at Curtin University was designed and operated to use realistic production fluids such as formation water/brine and condensate mixture to simulate ...
-
(2019)Roughly 1.6 billion years ago NE Australia was connected to North America. In this thesis, rocks in Queensland are examined to understand this connection and with relevance to the supercontinent Nuna. Findings suggest ...
-
(2019)This thesis presents research centred around the structural and photophysical characterisation of ß-diketonate and ß-triketonate lanthanoid complexes. The overarching goal was to identify the effect of different co-ligands ...
-
(2019)Wheeled mobile robot finds various applications because it can perform tasks autonomously in dangerous environments. Controlling this system has become active because of both challenges in applied nonlinear control theory ...
