First Principles Study of the Ignition Mechanism for Hypergolic Bipropellants: N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylmethylenediamine (TMMDA) with Nitric Acid [PDF]
, 2011 We report quantum mechanics calculations (B3LYP flavor of density functional theory) to determine the chemical reaction mechanism underlying the hypergolic reaction of pure HNO_3 with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and N,N,N′,N ...

Production of middle distillates through olefin oligomerization using ZSM‐5 as a catalyst
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract The global transportation sector relies heavily on gasoline (C5–C12) and diesel (C11–C24), which together account for approximately 60% of its energy needs. Driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization, diesel consumption is outpacing gasoline, with projections estimating global demand by 2035 at 27 million barrels per day for gasoline ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...
