Thermometry measurements were carried out using planar laser induced phosphorescence in conjunction with thermographic phosphors in heated turbulent jets and laminar flames in order to further develop the technique for usage in flames. Two dimensional thermometry measurements ar…

Although the transesterification reaction of triglycerides with alcohols is well known and practiced on a commercial scale (using acid or alkaline catalysts), there is plenty of scope to improve this process. One approach involves the use of heterogeneous catalysts that could be…
As a perfect substitute for diesel fuel and supported by high agricultural yield, biodiesel derived from palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) has huge potential as a future biofuel. However, many questions remain unanswered about its life cycle impacts on sustainability. This project ai…
In this thesis, we examine a variety of engineered interfaces: polymer thin films—in the morphologies of brushes and LbL bilayers—and polymer membranes.
This study focuses on the development of novel two-stage esterification-transesterification synthesis of biodiesel from used cooking oil (UCO) using novel heterogeneous catalysts. The esterification of the UCO was investigated using three types of ion exchange resins catalysts i…
