The proposed work involves application of supported molten salt catalysis to the catalytic endothermic dehydrogenation of high energy-density aviation fuels. the catalysts of interest are heterogeneously dispersed platinum and nickel, to be used alone or in bimetallic clusters. the molten salts to… More

The proposed work involves application of supported molten salt catalysis to the catalytic endothermic dehydrogenation of methanol. the catalysts of interest include eutectics composed of cu(+1) salts with homogeneously dispersed zn(+2) salts or heterogeneously dispersed zno. in addition, the study… More

A cooling strategy utilizing the endothermicity of the para- to ortho-hydrogen conversion has potential for meetingthe requirements of an advanced subsystem for thermal management in hydrogen-fueled injection vehicles. the proposed effort will determine the feasibility of developingsuch a cooling… More

A new technique is proposed for the preparation of metal-supported metal (msm) catalysts. the key feature of this technique involves the preparation of a thin layer of porous metal on top of a metal substrate such that the porous metal surface is an integral part of the metal support. subsequent… More
