Self-ejection of salts and other foulants from superhydrophobic surfaces to enable sustainable anti-fouling by McBride, Samantha A., Lake, John R., Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…However, the practical limits of this effect using realistic, non-ideal source waters have yet to be explored. Here, we explore how the presence of various model aquatic contaminants (colloids, surfactants, and calcium salt) influences the self-ejection phenomena. …”

HYPERION: A HYdrogen PERmeatION Experiment to Quantify Hydrogen Transport in Fusion-Relevant Molten Salts by Cota, Jaron F.

“…The models were used to explore the design parameter space of the experiment to determine the experiment’s effectiveness in producing the desired result of accurately calculating the hydrogen transport properties of the molten salt. Through the process of modeling, the assumptions that were normally made when performing these experiments were called into question and their validity was quantified, suggesting that the experiments that have been previously conducted might have been significantly affected by these assumptions. …”
