I found this article interesting. I haven't been able to find the paper referenced though. If a working continuum model has been created as they indicate, I wonder if this will eventually lead to an additional material property factor for consideration in industry. That said, I could be reading...
I tried to select the most appropriate forum for this question, so my apologies if it's better suited elsewhere. I am trying to give a relative some options on the best way remediate an issue they are having.

Does anyone have any experience with adsorption aided natural gas storage? Low pressure in this sense is referring to applications less than 500 psig. I have read some scholarly papers on using activated carbon for this purpose but haven't seen it applied in the commercial settings. Is this a...
I will preface by saying this may be a really stupid question or as a mentor told me once, "there's no such thing as stupid questions just stupid people". I am hoping by some small chance that someone during their university days might have heard of any discussions or research on this subject...
Backstory first. I have a friend (software engineering) who is designing a house for himself. He's a bright fellow and the IRC for the most part provides fairly navigable prescriptive techniques and design instruction as long as one stays within its purviews. He comes to me for code advice since...
I have never posted on here before and I am frankly frustrated I cannot get traction on this design. The design I am working on is the use of a spray nozzle to induce flow for the movement of a hazardous vapor. I have attempted to find "like" applications from other industries such as venturi...
