Optical in-situ measurements and modeling of post-flame sulfation of NaOH(g) and NaCl(g) (open access)

Optical in-situ measurements and modeling of post-flame sulfation of NaOH(g) and NaCl(g)

Article describes post-flame sulfation of gaseous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium chloride (NaCl) was investigated with optical in situ measurements at 850 to 1475°C. The combined experimental data, chemical equilibrium calculations and kinetic modeling of the present study support that sulfation of alkali species can occur in the gas phase through homogeneous reactions.

Corrosion Inhibition Effect of Pyridine-2-Thiol for Brass in An Acidic Environment (open access)

Corrosion Inhibition Effect of Pyridine-2-Thiol for Brass in An Acidic Environment

Article states that the inhibitive performance of pyridine-2-thiol added to a corrosive solution was investigated for brass using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy showed defect free and less scale formation for the inhibited surface but the bare brass surface had larger amounts of scale formation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy was used to investigate surface chemical composition and inhibitor structural changes over time.

MRI: Acquisition of a High Performance Hybrid Computer Cluster for Computational Modeling (open access)

MRI: Acquisition of a High Performance Hybrid Computer Cluster for Computational Modeling

Data management plan for the grant, "MRI: Acquisition of a High Performance Hybrid Computer Cluster for Computational Modeling." Research grant for the purchase, installation, and operation of a new high-performance computing (HPC) resource, called CRUNTCH4, to be deployed at the University of North Texas’ (UNT) Center for Advanced Scientific Computing and Modeling (CASCaM). This much needed HPC resource combines different computing architectures and significant amounts of data storage, all connected via a high-speed communications fabric. This computing resource will provide the means for CASCaM investigators to continue research on a broad range of topics including quantum chemistry, materials design, biomolecular simulations, machine-learning based chemical discovery, and bioinformatics, among others.
