Grain regression analysis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Grain regression analysis forms an essential part of solid rocket motor simulation.
In this thesis a numerical grain regression analysis module is developed
as an alternative to cumbersome and time ...
Reactive absorption kinetics of CO2 in alcoholic solutions of MEA: fundamental knowledge for determining effective interfacial mass transfer area
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The reactive absorption rate of CO2 into non-aqueous solvents containing the primary amine,
mono-ethanolamine (MEA) is recognised as a suitable method for measuring the effective
interfacial mass transfer ...
Examination of the thermal properties of municipal solid waste and the scalability of its pyrolysis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Concerns surrounding the world’s current dependence on quickly depleting fossil fuels and their negative environmental impacts have brought about much research into renewable and sustainable energy sources. ...
The separation of detergent range alkanes and alcohol isomers with supercritical carbon dioxide
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Data on the process performance at different operating conditions are required to determine the
feasibility of a separation process. Such data can be experimentally measured, but due to the time and
costs ...
Establishment of a supercritical pilot plant and the hydrodynamics of supercritical countercurrent columns
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Supercritical fluids are enjoying ever increasing popularity as a solvent medium for extraction,
stripping and absorption processes. Being readily tuneable and able to achieve sharp, highly
efficient ...
Thermodynamic modelling of hydrocarbon-chains and light-weight supercritical solvents
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Long-chain hydrocarbons are of value to numerous lucrative industries. Due to the low
volatility and close melting and boiling points of these solutes, traditional fractionation
methods lack the required ...
Design, development and optimization of edible wax coatings for fresh fruit
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Please see full text for abstract
Evaluating a fast pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation process for the production of jet fuel and jet-fuel range aromatics
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aviation industry is considering alternative fuels to reduce its dependency on fossil-derived jet fuel, and to mitigate environmental impacts of the latter. Governing bodies have set ambitious goals ...
