Kinetic modeling for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic substrates
In the worldwide energetic context, developing new carburant is an important topic for researchers. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is still considered as a main... -
Study of the kinetics and mechanism of the ZnO sulfidation reaction
Among the second generation biofuels processes, the "biomass to liquid" process aims at turning agricultural wastes into fuels. This process comprises a first step of... -
Development of a novel methodology for kinetic modelling of heavy oil refinin...
In the present PhD thesis, a novel methodology for the kinetic modelling of heavy oil refining processes is developed. The methodology models both the feedstock... -
Ethanol and CI engines : combustion mechanisms and pollutants formation
As concern about global warming and dependences on fossil fuel grows, there is an increasing interest to shift fromtraditional fuel to renewable energy sources. Blends... -
Electrical cables outer sheath ageing
In France, about 35% of the electric connections are buried. These connections are, among other, constituted of synthetic cables where the insulating system is a... -
Mesoscopic modeling of two-phase flow with phase change using the Boltzmann-E...
In this post-graduate research, kinetic equations of the Boltzmann type were used to model and simulate two-phase flows with phase change. This work was aimed at two...
