This work was carried out within the Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre to improve the characterisation of carbonate reservoirs. 3D images obtained using X-ray micro-tomography were used to characterise heterogeneity in surface area in one sandstone and five carbonate rocks. Surface area measured from X-ray imagery were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower than nitrogen BET measurements. Roughness factor, i.e. the ratio of BET surface area to X-ray based surface area, was correlated to the presence of clay or microporosity. Comparing statistical distributions of surface area to those in published modelling studies showed that the common practice of leaving surface area and pore volume uncorrelated in a pore led to unrealistic combinations of surface area and pore volume. In Berea sandstone, constraining ratios of surface area to pore volume to a range of values between that of quartz-lined and five times that of clay-lined spheres appeared sufficient. Statistical analysis suggest that at 600 micrometre, the observations do not yet form a representative elementary volume. The development of dual-energy CT for phase identification is presented. Kaolinite, plagioclase, biotite, quartz, orthoclase, albite, dolomite, calcite, pyrite, magnetite, and hematite were scanned. The pairs: plagioclase-orthoclase, albite-quartz, biotite-orthoclase, and hematite-magnetite were not distinguished. Discrimination was possible for all other combinations. In Berea sandstone, kaolinite-smectite, quartz-albite, alkali feldspar-plagioclase, and pyrite-rutile were identified separately. Dual-energy CT has better contrast or capacity for larger samples than single-energy CT. Finally, an adsorption isotherm was measured from batch experiments with quartz and aqueous caesium chloride. 0.755 M of caesium remained in solution while 0.995 mole of caesium was adsorbed per square metre of quartz. Adsorption was expected to increase average attenuation seven-fold and contribute to 86% of the average attenuation in the image. CT images were collected of an equivalent column experiment with quartz powder and aqueous caesium chloride. However, adsorbed caesium was measured to contribute less than 1% of the average attenuation. This work has provided new capabilities to characterise pore-scale mineral and surface area heterogeneity and improve our understanding of CO2 storage in carbonates.

In this study, a comprehensive approach including mathematical, numerical and experimental study has been taken in order to develop new models for describing free surface flow behavior in porous media. The study suggested that modeling free-surface flow in porous media is possible using a single equation capable of showing proper transition between inertial and classical Darcian flow, based on the similarity distribution functions of depth and velocity. The developed integral model inherits both the flow regimes as depicted in the analysis. For both laminar and turbulent flows through porous media, the integral models give satisfactory results. Also the proposed algorithm for numerical simulation is capable of solving various problems of free-surface flow through porous media. This study adds a new dimension to fluid flow in porous media by replacing Darcy's equation with new models that are capable of representing both Darcy and non-Darcy flow behaviors. These are new nonlinear ordinary differential equations inherited both the flow regimes investigated. Integral formulations for unsteady depth distribution, velocity and front speed under constant water level and constant flux discharge inlet conditions have been developed based on similarity law. The formulations presented provide additional analytical insight about the intrusion dynamics. It is pointed out that, based on the self-similarity analysis, the temporal intrusion processes can be categorized into the inertia-pressure (IP) and the pressure-drag (PD) regimes. The early inertia-pressure regime is followed by the pressure-drag regime. In addition, the integral models proposed can be successfully used for the solution of a host of other nonlinear problems that admit self-similarity. The analytical and numerical solutions for constant inlet water level condition are verified with experimental observations. The unsteady distributions of flow depth, inflow velocity and front speeds are compared for various porous media characterized by its corresponding porosity and permeability. Analyses indicate that the integral models clearly represent the nonlinear flow behavior in porous media both in laminar and turbulent flow conditions. The integral model results are in agreement with those obtained by similarity solution for the temporal change of velocity, depth at inlet and front positions. The thesis also presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model developed for the analysis of unsteady free-surface flows through porous media. Vertical two-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out for the free-surface flow inside the porous media governed by a set of Navier-Stokes equations extended for porous media flow. This model includes the convective and local inertia terms along with viscous diffusion term and resistance term comprising Darcy's linear resistance and Forchheimer's inertial resistance terms. The Finite volume method is applied using constrained interpolated propagation (CIP) method and highly simplified marker and cell (HSMAC) type pressure solver for the numerical solution. The evolution of moving free surface is governed by volume of fluid (VOF) method, adapted for the flow through porous media. To prevent the spurious oscillation and generate diffusion-free sharp interface, a third order monotone upstream-centered schemes for conservation laws (MUSCL) type total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes is used to solve the VOF convection equation. The power law derivation and validation for the general flux inflow condition are made for a channel having a backward facing step. The result of theoretical analysis is compared with that of the numerical simulation and it shows a good agreement. The model can be a tool for the proposition of some empirical flow relationships using multivariate correlation. In the case of rapid vertical infiltration of water through a vertical column filled with porous media, a number of experiments and analytical investigations are carried out to see the effect of acceleration in the intrusion process. It is concluded that the conventional infiltration models like Green-Ampts infiltration model cannot account for the acceleration effect in the case of high velocity flow. It is revealed that it takes certain time for intruding water to be accelerated to its peak velocity before decreasing to almost constant velocity. The investigations are made for two different cases: constant water level and variable water level above the porous media. For porous media having low permeability, the effect of acceleration was not so significant. In the case of dam break flow over horizontal porous strata, the model is applied to a complicated domain regarding both geometry and flow boundary conditions. Single set of governing equation is implemented to simulate the complex phenomenon. The model shows its capability in simulating the flow where interface between pressurized and open channel flow moves forward. The vertical acceleration has a significant effect on the rapid vertical infiltration which the shallow water equations cannot account for. In particular, it is shown that vertical two dimensional numerical solution that couples the fluid and solid systems simultaneously at macroscopic scale are feasible and extremely beneficial, shedding a new light into the phenomena unavailable otherwise. It is also found that the proposed numerical model can be used for the determination of storm water storage in porous sub-base in a typical road section. The capability of the model is assessed by using the unsteady inflow condition so as to simulate the condition during high precipitation. The model could be a promising tool for planners and decision makers for effective drainage calculations to mitigate urban flood. The model successfully simulates the free surface flow in the bulk fluid as well as in the porous region. The velocities and stresses are assumed to be continuous at the interface of free and porous media so that a single set of governing equations could be solved. The robustness of the model is demonstrated by the capability of the numerical approach proposed in this thesis.

Förekomsten av vattenrelaterade problem som extrem nederbörd, översvämningar, torka och vattenbrist kommer att öka i urbana områden till följd av de globala klimatförändringarna. Sponge city-konceptet är ett urbant dagvattenhanteringssystem som lanserades i Kina och syftar till att förbättra vattenhanteringen i städer genom att återställa stadens kapacitet att absorbera, infiltrera, lagra och rena vatten. Den här studien syftade till att undersöka om sponge city-konceptet hade kunnat implementeras i Malmö genom att besvara frågeställningen ” Vilka möjligheter respektive hinder finns det för Malmö att implementera sponge city-konceptet?”. Genom en systematisk litteraturstudie och innehållsanalys i kombination med det teoretiska ramverket som baserades på konceptet sårbarhet för klimatförändringar visade resultatet på att det både finns en del möjligheter men också hinder. Det huvudsakliga hindret som identifierades är att en stor del av marken i Malmö består av täta moränleror vilket utgör ett hinder för de infiltrationsåtgärder som ingår i sponge city-konceptet. Några möjligheter som identifierades är att sponge city-konceptet kan minska känsligheten för skada som uppstår i förhållande till exponeringsnivån, samt att Malmös anpassningskapacitet är relativt hög. På grund av att den här studien enbart undersökte specifika fysiska/miljömässiga aspekter inom sponge city-konceptet krävs däremot fler studier som tar hänsyn till fler aspekter om en implementering av konceptet skulle bli aktuell.
The occurrence of water related problems such as extreme precipitation, floods, drought and water scarcity will increase in urban areas as a result of global climate change. The sponge city-concept is an urban stormwater system launched in China and aims to improve the water management in cities by restoring the city’s capacity to absorb, infiltrate, store and purify water. This study aimed to investigate if the sponge city-concept could be implemented in Malmö by answering the question “What possibilities and obstacles exist for Malmö to implement the sponge city-concept?”. Through a systematic literature review and content analysis in combination with the theoretical framework, which was based on the concept climate change vulnerability, the results showed that there are some possibilities but also obstacles. The main obstacle that was identified is that the ground in Malmö largely consists of dense moraines which forms an obstacle for the infiltration measures that are included in the sponge city-concept. Some possibilities that were identified is that the sponge city-concept can decrease the sensitivity to harm that occurs in relation to the exposure level but also that Malmö’s adaptation capacity is relatively high. However, because this study only investigated specific physical/environmental aspects within the sponge city-concept, more studies that consider more aspects are required if an implementation of the concept would become prevailing.

L’objectif de ce travail est d’étendre l’étude locale de la stabilité linéaire des interactions fluide-structure à des domaines peu ou pas encore abordés dans la littérature ; l’influence des interfaces poroélastiques sur les couches limites bidimensionnelles, tridimensionnelles, ou aspirées, ainsi que l’écoulement dans une canopée modélisé par un profil de vitesse réaliste, sont ainsi traités. Les résultats révèlent que dans les couches limites 3D, la compliance réduit le domaine d’instabilité du mode TS dominant mais fait apparaître des modes hydroélastiques ; à l’inverse, la perméabilité stabilise ces derniers tout en déstabilisant l’onde TS, s’apparentant en cela à un amortissement. Sur les ailes en flèche, la transition dépend localement d’instabilités nommées tourbillons Crossflow (CF) d’origine non-visqueuse ; l’effet déstabilisant de la perméabilité sur celles-ci est presque nul tandis que son action positive sur les modes hydroélastiques reste intact, offrant des perspectives prometteuses. Dans le domaine des couches limites aspirées, la quasi-totalité des études publiées reposent sur l’hypothèse d’une perméabilité négligeable et d’une paroi rigide ; or il est démontré ici que la perméabilité (indissociable de la succion) exerce même à faible dose une déstabilisation sur la perturbation dominante et que la compliance (pouvant résulter d’un allègement) provoque l’apparition d’une instabilité absolue. Pour finir, l’attention est portée sur les écoulements dans une canopée -assimilables à des couches de mélange. La stabilité linéaire de l’onde nommée monami ou honami est étudiée sur la base d’un profil de vitesse moyenne réaliste calculé numériquement, puis comparé aux résultats obtenus avec le profil en lignes brisées usuellement employé. L’effet de la force de traînée, communément considéré comme amortissant, se révèle au contraire déstabilisant lorsqu’il est pris en compte dès le calcul du profil de vitesse moyenne
Local linear stability of fluid-structure interactions is investigated in uncustomary fields such as swept, unswept and asymptotic suction incompressible boundary layers developing over compliant, porous plates –in the limit of small permeability– or relatistically-modeled incompressible flows over a canopy. Results show that compliance has a stabilizing effect on the 3D most instable hydrodynamic mode but allows hydroelastic modes to emerge, which take the form of travelling wave flutter instabilities ; conversely, permeability tends to damp the latter ones but to destabilize the former ones. Transition on swept wings also locally depends on 3D unviscid instabilities called Crossflow vortices, hardly unstabilized by permeability ; this provides promizing outlets, since permeability has still a strong positive effect on 3D hydroelastic modes. In the field of incompressible parallel boundary layer flows with uniform suction through the wall, most of the existing studies are based on the assumption that plate’s porosity and flexibility are negligible. Nevertheless, proof is given here that permeability (linked to suction) exerts a strong destabilizing effect on the Tollmien-Schlichting most instable mode. Besides, compliance (that can result from lightering measures) reveals to provoke an absolute instability that is likely to contaminate the entire domain. Finally, attention is paid to incompressible flows across a canopy, that are similar to mixing layers. Linear stability of the coherent motions called monami or honami is adressed using a relatistically-computed velocity profile, then compared to the results obtained with the customary piecewise linear velocity profile. Then, drag force variations are taken into account as soon as velocity profile computing. The result is that drag happens to have a destabilizing effect on the flow, instead of the commonly admitted damping effect

El concreto permeable es un concreto especial, el cual permite el paso del agua a través de su estructura gracias al alto porcentaje de vacíos que posee a diferencia del concreto tradicional. Esta cualidad del concreto permeable permite acabar con la falta de permeabilidad en las estructuras tradicionales de concreto evitando las fallas estructurales debido al encharcamiento y escurrimiento del agua. En esta investigación se realizó el diseño de mezcla del concreto permeable con una resistencia de 210 kg/cm2, aplicando el método ACI 522.R para poder aplicarlo como una alternativa de carpeta de rodadura en pavimentos. Para ello se realizaron diferentes diseños de mezcla en laboratorio hasta encontrar el diseño óptimo para obtener una resistencia a la compresión de 210 kg/cm2, el diseño de mezcla elegido contaba con las siguientes características: relación agua/cemento de 0.38, porcentaje de vacíos de 13%, 1.5% de aditivo Superplastificante y 7% de arena. Para validar la investigación se realizó la construcción de un prototipo con el diseño elaborado en laboratorio con un área de 2.00 m2 (1.00m x 2.00m). Al concreto en estado fresco se le analizaron sus características de consistencia, densidad y contenido de vacíos; en el estado endurecido se realizaron los ensayos de compresión, permeabilidad y flexión, además de aplicarle una prueba de carga. Los resultados indicaron que el diseño de mezcla usado en el prototipo con resistencia a la compresión de 261.58 kg/cm2 y permeabilidad de 0.01744 m/s puede usarse como alternativa de superficie de rodadura para un pavimento.
Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete which allows the passage of water through its structure due to its high percentage of voids unlike traditional concrete. This quality of pervious concrete allows to end the lack of permeability in traditional concrete structures thus preventing structural failures due to flooding and water runoff. This research will seek to find a mix design for pervious concrete to apply it as an alternative road surface for pavements. To verify the above, different mix designs were performed in laboratory to find the design that give us a compressive strength of 210 kg/cm2, the chosen design had the following features: water - cement ratio of 0.38, 13% air content, 1.5% additive superplasticizer and 7% of sand. To validate the research, a prototype was built with the chosen mix design, this prototype had an area of 2 m2 (1m x 2m). The fresh concrete was analyzed for its consistency, density, and void percentage; the hardened concrete was analyzed for its compressive strength, permeability and flexural strength, finally the prototype was load tested. The results indicated that the mix design used in the prototype with compressive strength of 261.58 kg/cm2 and a permeability of 0.01744 m/s can be used as an alternative rolling surface for pavements.

Urbanization and the disorderly occupation of cities have created many environmental problems, ranging from floods to climate change in large urban centers. Among the causes of these occurrences is mainly soil sealing in cities, that occurs by interference and man's need to use more space. The more waterproofed the surface of urban areas, higher runoff, and this, in turn, due to the adopted public politics and the lack of planning, are transferred to adjacent watersheds, causing, these problems such as floods and silting of rivers. The impermeabilized surfaces end up affording a smaller charge of watersheds, transferring to other river basins the amount of water that it should be restored in the region, that way impair the recovery of the basins where the percolations occur. This study is a comparison between two existing technologies in commercially known market as "paver" and "draining floor", and point which of these can help in the recovery of watersheds and, consequently, reduce the problems caused by surface runoff in urban areas. To reach the result precipitations were simulated using a sprinkler infiltrometer in intensities corresponding to 45mm.h-1, 60mm.h-1 and 90mm.h-1, and occurred in lysimeters where the coverages match the public walks characteristics using the technologies to be analyzed as ground cover. This experiment showed that the permeable concrete parts (draining floor) and concrete parts gaskets extended (paver) has percolation rate likened to grass cover and thus can be used as technologies for water infiltration into the soil aiding in the recovery of watersheds in urban areas
A urbanização e a ocupação desordenada das cidades criaram diversos problemas ambientais, que vão desde enchentes até alterações climáticas nos grandes centros urbanos. Entre as causas destas ocorrências está, principalmente, a impermeabilização dos solos nas cidades, que ocorre pela interferência e necessidade do homem em utilizar mais espaço. Quanto mais impermeabilizada a superfície das regiões urbanas, maior o escoamento superficial, e este, por sua vez, devido às políticas públicas adotadas e à falta de planejamento, são transferidos para bacias adjacentes, trazendo problemas a estas, como enchentes e assoreamentos dos rios. As superfícies impermeabilizadas acabam proporcionando uma menor recarga das bacias hidrográficas, transferindo para outras bacias a quantidade de água que deveria ser reposta naquela região, desta forma prejudicam a recuperação das bacias onde ocorrem as percolações. O presente estudo faz um comparativo entre duas tecnologias existentes no mercado comercialmente conhecidos como paver e o piso drenante , e apontará qual destas pode auxiliar na recuperação das bacias hidrográficas e, consequentemente, reduzir os problemas causados pelo escoamento superficial nas regiões urbanas. Para chegar ao resultado foram simuladas precipitações utilizando um infiltrômetro de aspersão em intensidades correspondentes à 45 mm.h-1, 60 mm.h-1 e 90 mm.h-1, e ocorreram em lisímetros onde as coberturas correspondem as características de passeios públicos utilizando as tecnologias a serem analisadas como cobertura de solo. Este experimento apontou que as peças de concreto permeável (piso drenante) e as peças de concreto com juntas alargadas (paver) têm taxa de percolação assemelhada a cobertura de grama e desta forma podem ser utilizadas como tecnologias para infiltração de água no solo auxiliando na recuperação das bacias hidrográficas das zonas urbanas.

Cette thèse concerne le développement d’approches spectroscopiques infrarouge et Raman exaltées de surface: la spectroscopie infrarouge exaltée de surface (SEIRAS) combinée avec une cellule de perfusion et la spectroscopie Raman exaltée de surface (SERS) couplée avec l’électrochimie. Dans le cadre du premier projet, différentes protéines ont été étudiées : lactose perméase (LacY), complexe I et IM30. Nous avons déterminé le pKa de Glu325 dans LacY sauvage et dans différents mutants portant des mutations dans le centre actif de translocation des protons. Sauvage complexe I a été oxydé avec différents agents oxydants et réduit avec NADH. Spectres différentiels correspondants ont été analysés. Des changements conformationnels dans la protéine IM30, induits par la présence des ions Mg2+, ont été observés.Dans le cadre du deuxième projet, une cellule spectroélectrochimique contenant une grille d’or a été adaptée pour étudier des protéines redox actives. Cette grille d’or sert à la fois de substrat SERS et d’électrode de travail. Cyt c, Hb et Mb ont d'abord été utilisés pour valider la configuration, puis l'approche a été étendue pour étudier une protéine membranaire
This thesis concerns the development of surface-enhanced infrared and Raman spectroscopic approaches: surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) combined with perfusion cell and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with electrochemistry. Within the first project different proteins were studied: Lactose Permease (LacY), complex I and IM30.The pKa of Glu325 in LacY WT and in different mutants carrying mutations in the proton translocation active center was determined. WT complex I was oxidized with different oxidizing agents and reduced with NADH. Corresponding redox-induced conformational changes were studied. The evidence was given that Mg2+ ions induce conformational changes in the protein IM30.Within the second project the spectroelectrochemical cell containing gold grid electrode was adopted for the studies of redox active proteins. This gold grid serves both as working electrode and as SERS active substrate. First Cyt c, Hb and Mb were used to validate the setup and then the approach was extended to study a membrane protein

This study aimed to evaluate the experimental performance of three types of permeable pavements constructed in three different structural conditions in order to control runoff in urbanized areas of the city of Goiania, Goias, adapting to the legal requirements and using local manufactured materials. It was evaluated nine experimental plots of 3.2 m² as the following types: PAV - concrete block "paver", PCP - porous concrete plate and GCC - concrete block "concregrama" and the following structural conditions: I - base of sand and natural subgrade, II - base of sand and compacted subgrade and III - base of sand, gravel subbase and compacted subgrade. Using an artificial rain simulator, 18 tests were performed with two pre-defined rain, a medium intensity (69 mm / h) and a high intensity (180 mm / h). The subgrade soil and building materials were characterized, measured the surface and subsurface runoff, and moisture of the layers of the pavement. The parameters of the models of Horton and Green-Ampt were obtained by adjusting the calculated data infiltration. Combinations PCP-II, PCP-III, II-CCG, CCG-III and PAV-III showed little or no runoff. The delay and persistence in critical times of the runoff hydrograph also secured good results to the PCP, which generally showed higher soaking times (7,2 to 30,4 minutes) compared to the other types of pavement. The structure that showed the best hydrological performance was the III, whose results ranged from 0 to 0,19 for the runoff coefficient. The results showed that porous pavements evaluated in this study contribute to the reduction of runoff, because of low runoff coefficients (0 to 0,36) obtained. Constructive guidelines on the type of permeable pavement that performed better were drawn and described.
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho experimental de três tipos de pavimentos permeáveis construídos em três condições estruturais diferentes com vistas ao controle do escoamento superficial em áreas urbanizadas do município de Goiânia, Goiás, adequando-se às exigências legais e utilizando-se de materiais provenientes de fabricantes locais. Foram avaliadas nove parcelas experimentais de 3,2 m² conforme os seguintes tipos de revestimento: PAV - Bloco de concreto maciço tipo paver , PCP Placa de concreto poroso e CCG Bloco de concreto vazado tipo concregrama , e as seguintes condições estruturais: I - base de areia e subleito natural, II - base de areia e subleito compactado e III - base de areia, sub-base de brita tipo 1 e subleito compactado. Utilizando-se de um simulador de chuva artificial, foram realizados 18 ensaios com duas chuvas pré-definidas, uma de média intensidade (69 mm/h) e outra de alta intensidade (180 mm/h). Foram caracterizados o solo do subleito e os materiais de construção, medidos os escoamentos superficial e subsuperficial, bem como a umidade das camadas dos pavimentos. Os parâmetros dos modelos de Horton e de Green-Ampt foram obtidos por meio do ajuste dos dados calculados de taxa de infiltração. Os pavimentos PCP-II, PCP-III, CCG-II, CCG-III e PAV-III apresentaram pouco ou nenhum escoamento superficial. O retardo e o prolongamento nos tempos críticos do hidrograma de escoamento superficial também garantiram bons resultados ao revestimento PCP, que no geral apresentou os maiores tempos de embebição (7,2 a 30,4 minutos) em comparação aos demais tipos de revestimento. A estrutura que apresentou o melhor desempenho hidrológico foi o Trecho III, cujos resultados variaram de 0 a 0,19 para o coeficiente de escoamento. A análise dos resultados mostrou que os pavimentos permeáveis avaliados neste trabalho contribuem à redução do escoamento superficial, em razão dos baixos coeficientes de escoamento (0 a 0,36) obtidos, assim como ao armazenamento temporário de águas de chuva e ao incremento da infiltração de água no solo urbano. As diretrizes construtivas do tipo de pavimento permeável que obteve melhor desempenho foram traçadas e descritas.

Ce travail porte sur l'amélioration de la sélectivité préférentielle d'une membrane cationique à base d’ETFE pour une utilisation en électrodialyse afin de traiter des effluents industriels contenant un mélange d’acides et de sels métalliques. Pour cela, nous avons fait appel à la méthode de la modification chimique de la surface d’une membrane cationique par la formation d’un film superficiel mince portant des charges positives afin de former une barrière de répulsion électrostatique pour des cations bivalents tout en permettant le passage de cations monovalents tels que les protons.

La synthèse de la membrane cationique de base a été réalisée en passant par différentes étapes à savoir :le greffage du styrène - divinylbenzène (DVB), la chlorosulfonation et l’hydrolyse.

Au cours de ce travail, nous avons mis au point un protocole de greffage du styrène-DVB dans le film d’ETFE qui permet l’obtention d’un film ayant un taux de greffage reproductible assurant à la membrane cationique finale une bonne conductivité électrique et une capacité d’échange acceptable pour une membrane d’électrodialyse. Une étude de la réaction de greffage en fonction de la concentration en réticulant a été réalisée.

Nous avons procédé par la suite à la modification de la surface du film d’ETFE greffé styrène-DVB par la formation d’une couche superficielle mince fixée par des liens covalents. Les membranes modifiées ont été obtenues par la réaction d’une seule face du film d’ETFE greffé chlorosulfoné avec la 3-diméthylaminopropylamine. La modification chimique de la surface du film ETFE greffé chlorosulfoné a été suivie par la technique FTIR-ATR. L’effet de la concentration de la diamine sur les propriétés électrochimiques des différentes membranes modifiées a été étudié. La résistance électrique des membranes modifiées équilibrées au contact de solutions de chlorure de sodium et d'acide sulfurique a été mesurée par la technique d’impédance. La détermination du nombre de transport du proton et de l’ion sodium a été réalisée à partir de mesures du potentiel de membrane. La densité de courant limite des membranes a été évaluée sur base des courbes courant-tension. Les mesures de chronopotentiométrie ont été également effectuées sur les différentes membranes synthétisées.

Les résultats de ces caractérisations montrent que la modification de la surface engendre des changements considérables au niveau des propriétés électrochimiques des membranes résultantes. La résistance électrique, la densité de courant limite ainsi que les propriétés de transport de la membrane dépendent d’une part de la concentration de la diamine utilisée et d’autre part de la solution dans laquelle la membrane modifiée est équilibrée.

La sélectivité préférentielle des différentes membranes vis-à-vis des protons par rapport aux ions bivalents a été testée en réalisant des électrodialyses d’un milieu mixte H2SO4-NiSO4. Nos résultats montrent que la modification chimique de la surface de la membrane affecte d’une manière significative le transport des ions nickel tout en respectant le passage des protons. Une meilleure séparation a été obtenue pour une membrane modifiée en utilisant la diamine pure.

Because of rapid pace of urbanization and economic growth, the impermeable area increased, Soil moisture conservation and groundwater recharged amount were reduced so as induced the fasten runoff during the rainfall period and flooding disaster occurred frequently. The subject of this study focus on the influences in between the surface variation and groundwater recharge amount by analyzing the corresponding data of impermeable area and then could provide the reference to authority for urban development planning and construction. The MODFLOW model developed by USGS which combined with the GIS information was applied in this paper to establish the specific groundwater conceptual model and followed, the Chaozhou area of Pingtung Plain was chosen as the testing site. Through the model’s calibration and verification procedure, groundwater table or piezometric surface could be estimated by simulating the specific surface variation of infiltration area in Chaozhou area. The preliminary prediction result show that, groundwater recharged amount affected by surface variation of infiltration/impermeable area do not evidenced obviously difference for the lateral large amount recharged ability in Chaozhou area which lies at top of the alluvial fan. Water supply is not popularized in this area and livelihood/agriculture demands rely mostly on the groundwater. Hence, pumping rate correlate strongly with the developed area and its relation should be analyzed first. The pumping rate of unit developed area was estimated and used as the input data of the MODFLOW model , then cooperated with 6 observation wells information, the groundwater/piezometric surface changes caused by alternate pumping rate could be predicted. According to the analyzed results, conclusions could be made as follow: groundwater/piezometric surface variation could be easily found with the pumping rate up to 100,000tons/ day in this particular area and attained the 1m drawdown which is about 1/10 of the aquifer thickness in Chaozhou area while the average pumping rate was up to 600,000tons/day. So, the whole 2/3 Chaozhou area was urbanized instead would cause severe blockage effect in groundwater recharged process.

A theoretical study of the effect of thermophoresis on heat and mass transfer by mixed convection from a linearly stretching permeable surface is reported. Considering the two-dimensional mixed convection boundary layer flow over a vertically moving upward surface with suction or blowing at the surface. The governing equations include the continuity, momentum, energy and concentration equations. The solution methods are used similar transformation and dimensionless technique for the governing equations. In numerical analysis, the equations are solved by the Runge-Kutta integration method. When the mixed convection parameter increases, the velocity gradient increases. Thermal and concentration boundary layer thickness decrease as increase. Boundary layer thickness also decrease with suction effect. The effects of thermophoresis were predicted to be particularity important for particle moving toward a cold surface or blowing away a hot surface at a given temperature gradient.

Due to the over development of urban area, the soil’s water permeability has been ignored for a long time, which leads to the increase of urban water impermeability area that prevents rain from entering the ground to supplement water for soil. This not only results in urban heat island effect but draining off underground water resources. If the drainage system could not let out the surface runoff caused by heavy rain a serious flood may therefore occurs. Based on the Low Impact Development (LID) concept developed by the USA as well as European Green Infrastructure(GI), the facilities for storage, permeation and surface runoff reduction are required in order to relieve surface runoff, expand flood retention and permeating space in urban area and simultaneously to share urban surface runoff volume. The geological structure of the Taichung Basin is mainly gravel stratum of which permeability is fine. However, the urban development has affected its good permeability; hence, in this research, it combines permeable pavement with vertical infiltration pipes into the parking lot in Feng Chia University and penetrated through the soil surface having poor permeability. Those are in order to facilitate vertical and side permeation, provide the water storage, as well as reduce surface runoff. Refer to the current parking lot condition as the basis, by adding vertical infiltration pipes beneath the permeable pavement of the parking lot, the saturated conductivity of double-ring test could be increased 18~35 times. The experimental results show that the vertical infiltration pipes is applicable to be one LID component for increasing permeability with regard to Taichung basin’s geological condition. The related parameters and field-test results collected from the study site (60m×15m) were utilized for simulation by Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). Firstly, all simulation situations were based on current conditions. For the conditions changed to the parking lot built with water impermeable pavement, the surface runoff volume would increase 15% and the peak discharge would increase 10%; If the pavement changed from the current interlock brick to grass brick the surface runoff volume and the peak discharge volume could be decreased by 12.5% and 5.4%, respectively. Next we simulated the study-site watershed and pavement rebuilt situation and added into LID module. With regard to installed area and runoff reduction percentage, the optimum reduction benefit occurred when the installed area is 10% of the total, which effectively reduced surface runoff volume and peak discharge; while the installed area of pavement rebuilding situation reached over 20%, the peak discharge occurring time could be delayed by 10 minutes. By rebuilding interlock brick with grass brick to install the LID module 10% and compared with the original condition, it showed that the rainfall pattern design for one, two, and five years’ recurrence interval could all reduce surface runoff volume over 15%. The LID module of one year recurrence interval of rain design could reduce more percentage of surface runoff volume and peak discharge volume than the five years recurrence interval, which explains that the LID setting has relatively larger benefit on small rain.

Permeable friction course (PFC) is a porous asphalt pavement placed on top of a regular impermeable roadway. Under small rainfall intensities, drainage is contained within the PFC layer; but, under higher rainfall intensities drainage occurs both within and on top of the porous pavement. This dissertation develops a computer model—the permeable friction course drainage code (PERFCODE)—to study this two-dimensional unsteady drainage process. Given a hyetograph, geometric information, and hydraulic properties, the model predicts the variation of water depth within and on top of the PFC layer through time. The porous layer is treated as an unconfined aquifer of variable saturated thickness using Darcy’s law and the Dupuit-Forchheimer assumptions. Surface flow is modeled using the diffusion wave approximation to the Saint-Venant equations. A mass balance approach is used to couple the surface and subsurface phases. Straight and curved roadway geometries are accommodated via a curvilinear grid. The model is validated using steady state solutions that were obtained independently. PERFCODE was applied to a field monitoring site near Austin, Texas and hydrographs predicted by the model were consistent with field measurements. For a sample storm studied in detail, PFC reduced the duration of sheet flow conditions by 80%. The model may be used to improve the drainage design of PFC roadways.

The phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely applied to the biological and chemical sensing for characterizing and quantifying bio- molecular interactions. The traditional advantages of SPR detective method have high sensitive response, kinetic study in real-time, and label-free for biological sensing. Optical fiber sensor has the characteristics of small, low cost, and the same scheme on conventional SPR technique. It is worthy to develop the optical fiber SPR sensor. Recently the flu season is upon us, so Virus detection and preventive issues to be proposed again. So, the real-time detection is a very important research topic. At present, the microfluidics system design is easily for the feasibility in real-time detection. Therefore, development of a small system, low-cost, and disposable easy to use with simple biosensor microfluidics is important, But the biosensor micro-fluidics design is quite complicated and difficult to control the performance. Using porous membrane with a wicking pad absorber to drive the test solutions by capillary phenomena has been carried out as the microfluidics structure in SPR measurement. Besides, a laser diode operated at 690 nm wavelength as the light source was applied to analyze the SPR responses of DI water, ethanol, and glycerin solutions. The results show that in the case of porous semi-permeable membrane structure for the side-polished fiber SPR sensors possess very good repetitive ability and excellent stability in the SPR responses than the original fiber sensor, and can enhanced the sensitivity for the Biotin-BSA sensing. The porous semi-permeable membrane structure we proposed can reduce the reagent dose in sensing and without any residual in the system, and provides the real-time detection ability and convenience in handling in the measurements.

The innovation and investigation of catalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells are included in this thesis. In the first part of this work, stability of the catalyst support of PEMFC catalyst is investigated. Nanoscale platinum particles were loaded on two different kinds of carbon supports, nano graphene sheets and functionalized carbon black/graphene hybrid were developed by the liquid phase reaction. The crystal structure of two kinds of catalysts was characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The morphology and particle size were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pt loading was measured by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) method was applied to test the surface area of the catalysts. The electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and mass activity during oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process for two kinds of catalyst were tested by cyclic voltammetry method under different conditions. The stability of the catalysts were tested by accelerated durability test (ADT). The results show that although the mass activity of Pt/graphene is much lower, the stability of it is much better than that of the commercial catalyst. After adding functionalized carbon black (FCB) as spacer, the stability of the catalyst is preserved and at the meantime, the mass activity becomes higher than 20% Pt/XC72 catalyst. The lower mass activity of both catalysts are due to the limitation of the electrolyte diffusion into the carbon support because of the aggregation nature of graphene nano-sheets. After introducing functional carbon black as spacer, the mass activity and ECSA increased dramatically which proved that FCB can be applied to prevent the restacking of graphene and hence solved the diffusion problem. In the meantime, the durability was still keeping the same as Pt/graphene catalyst. In the second part of the work, the restacking problem was solved by introducing FCB as spacers between functionalized graphene nanosheets. The same measurement was applied to test the electrochemical performance of Pt/FCB/FG catalyst. The new catalyst showed a higher mass activity compared to Pt/graphene catalyst which meant the restacking problem was partially solved. The durability of the Pt/FCB/FG catalyst was still excellent.
