-
(2019)The sponsored bench-top scale Monoethylene glycol distillation unit located at Curtin University was designed and operated to use realistic production fluids, such as condensate mixtures and formation water/brines to ...
-
(2019)Advanced oxidation processes have been extensively studied for wastewater purification in past years. Nanocarbons demonstrated robust catalytic activity in activation of sulfate oxidants for toxic organics degradation, ...
-
(2019)Low salinity waterflooding appears to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly means to improve oil recovery by increasing hydrophilicity. However, the controlling factor(s) behind this process remains unclear. ...
-
(2019)This thesis explores the multiplicity and mutability of the essay genre, memory and identity. It utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to bring cognitive neuroscience, life writing scholarship, literary studies and ...
-
(2020)Based on three-point bending tests and finite element modelling, effects of polarisation directions are investigated on the mechanical and electrical properties of GaN piezoelectric semiconductor ceramics (PSCs). It is ...
-
(2020)Based on dimensional analysis and finite element simulation, a new method is proposed to characterize the yield stress and interfacial coefficient of friction of materials by scratching with a Vickers indenter. Two simple ...
-
(2019)This thesis presents an investigation on synthesis of carbon nanoribbons by edged engineering and the roles of the carbon edges in several catalytic reactions, oxygen reduction reaction, aqueous organic remediation and ...
-
(2019)Integration schemes with nodal smoothed derivatives, which meet integration constraint conditions, are robust and efficient for use in meshfree Galerkin methods, however, most of them are focussed on the classical elasticity ...
-
(2020)The high risk of metro tunnels that are underneath buildings in a water-rich layer has received much attention. The base slab of an upper structure deforms due to frost heave and settlement, which needs to be predicted ...
-
(2020)The displacement discontinuity method is extended to study the fracture behavior of interface cracks in one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal coating subjected to anti-plane loading. The Fredholm integral equation of the ...
