I will discuss materials and device advances needed for a promising capture approach\, a scalable energy-efficient route to direct ocean capture of CO2\, via an electrochemical pH swing. This scheme utilizes bipolar membrane electrodialysis to create the pH swing required to capture CO2 drawn down into the ocean in the form of dissolved inorganic carbon. I will also explore approaches for directly generating liquid solar fuels from carbon dioxide\, sunlight\, water. This requires new photocatalysts and thermocatalytic structures to facilitate transfer of electrons\, protons\, and reactants\, to selectively yield multi-carbon products at semiconductor photoelectrode surfaces and catalytic sites. Two tandem reaction schemes for liquid solar fuel generation from CO2 will be discussed: i) a three-terminal tandem photoelectrode with two monolithically integrated but distinct catalytic centers operating at independent potentials to yield products via a cascaded reaction sequence\, and ii) a tandem photoelectrochemical/solar thermocatalytic cascade that uses electrochemically synthesized ethylene\, carbon monoxide and hydrogen as intermediates to yield multi-carbon products (butene\, hexene\, and heavier hydrocarbons) synthesized via solar-driven thermocatalytic reactions.

This presentation will introduce a new approach based on the zeta-eigenvalue\, a scaling parameter applied to material densities or system dimensions in the neutron transport equation. At convergence\, zeta directly yields the critical density or dimension. This talk will go through the theory\, its implementation in the SCONE Monte Carlo code\, and numerical results relevant to reactor physics and criticality safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValeria RaffuzziValeria Raffuzzi is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge. She holds a BSc in Energy Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, an MSc in Nuclear Engineering from ETH Zurich\, and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on developing and analysing Monte Carlo methods for neutron transport\, and on nuclear data evaluation and validation. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPaul CosgrovePaul is an assistant teaching professor and research fellow at the University of Cambridge. After graduating from Queen’s\, Belfast in chemical engineering (2014)\, he moved to Cambridge where obtained his MPhil in Nuclear Energy (2016) and PhD in engineering (2020). Paul’s research concerns computational reactor physics\, particularly stochastic transport and understanding the behaviour of different algorithms.

(Ted) LightfootTed Lightfoot ConsultingAmherst\, NY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransport Phenomena and Coating Science\n\n\n\nIn the 1960s Transport Phenomena triggered a shift in engineering education from engineering technology to engineering science. In the 1970s the more advanced coating companies (in the photographic\, magnetic tape\, and paper industries) began to undertake fundamental studies of the formation and drying of thin liquid layers on a moving solid substrate. Over the next fifty years\, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how transport phenomena (including rheology\, fluid mechanics\, and both internal and external mass transport) affect the production of coated layers applied to a range of substrates. This talk will review the history of mathematical modeling of the transport processes encountered in the coating industry as well as several opportunities for fundamental advancement that could benefit battery and fuel cell manufacture as well as the development of Perovskite solar cells. Although the talk will review the use of mathematical tools to describe key physical phenomena important to the industry\, the emphasis will be on human factors — both cultural biases and the individual people who have shaped the field.
