Research Objective

To obtain graphene / epoxy resin nanocomposites with enhanced gas-barrier properties, and compare the enhancement and other material properties of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO).

Experiments
  • Used Hummer's method for oxidizing graphite to GO.
  • Used solution mixing to prepare GO and rGO / epoxy resin nanocomposites, followed by spin coating for film preparation.
  • Characterized materials using UV, water contact angle, SEM, XRD, profiler, FTIR, and AFM methods.

Research Objective

To investigate the influence of interfacial forces, including drag force, lift force, and virtual mass force, under LES on numerical simulation of bubble column two-phase bubbly flow.

Experiments
  • Built the simulation based on the previous experimental system of Sanyal, using large eddy simulation as the turbulence model.
  • Compared three numerical cases with experimental data to investigate transient radial gas holdup and axial liquid flow rate.
  • Used Gambit 2.4.6 for grid generation and CFX 18.0 for numerical simulation.
