Intelligent grain size profiling using neural network and application to sanding potential prediction in real time. (2007)
Thesis
OLUYEMI, G.F. 2007. Intelligent grain size profiling using neural network and application to sanding potential prediction in real time. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Production of hydrocarbon from both consolidated and unconsolidated clastic reservoir rocks poses a risk of sand production especially if a well articulated programme of sand management strategy is not put in place to deal with the problem at the ons...

The environmental impacts and developmental constraints of tidal current energy generation. (2007)
Thesis
DACRE, S.L. 2007. The environmental impacts and developmental constraints of tidal current energy generation. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The thesis discusses the environmental impacts and developmental constraints of tidal current energy. Using an iterative approach and drawing upon a number of different methodologies the thesis attempts to evaluate the development potential of tidal...

Evaluation and testing of a novel photocatalytic reactor with model water pollutants. (2007)
Thesis
MOHAMMED, A.O. 2007. Evaluation and testing of a novel photocatalytic reactor with model water pollutants. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Semiconductor photocatalysis is a newly emerging technology for the elimination of harmful chemical compounds from air and water. It couples low-energy ultraviolet light with semiconductors acting as photocatalyst and thereby overcoming many of the d...

The application of low aspect ratio hydrofoils to the secure positioning of static equipment in tidal streams. (2007)
Thesis
OWEN, A. 2007. The application of low aspect ratio hydrofoils to the secure positioning of static equipment in tidal streams. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The costs of installing tidal energy technology are high, requiring expensive vessels to drill sockets in the sea bed or to handle gravity based structures of substantial mass, and this impacts on the commercial viability of any proposed marine renew...

Composite inorganic membranes for hydrogen reaction, separation and purification. (2007)
Thesis
EL-ZAROUK, K.M.2007. Composite inorganic membranes for hydrogen reaction, separation and purification. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Silica-alumina composite membranes for hydrogen separation and high temperature chemical reactions were prepared using both conventional and modified dip-coating techniques. These were deposited on commercially available a.-alumina macroporous suppor... Read More about Composite inorganic membranes for hydrogen reaction, separation and purification..
