MSE Dept. Travelers, Reminder to please add Jessica Jasso as a travel delegate on your Concur profile to replace Chris Cowden in our Business Office. We need Jessica to be able to review and make necessary adjustments on your travel. (see Brad's note below) Thank you, Lisa Stacey Secretary/Development Assistant Purdue University School of Materials Engineering 765/494-4100 From: Msestaff-list [mailto:msestaff-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Anthony, Bradley D Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 9:39 AM To: 'aae-faculty(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (aae-faculty(a)ecn.purdue.edu) 'aae-staff(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (aae-staff(a)ecn.purdue.edu) 'msefaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (msefaculty-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu) 'msestaff-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (msestaff-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu) msegradstudent-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu; AAE-grad(a)ecn.purdue.edu Cc: Brooks, Araminta E; Jasso, Jessica Subject: [msestaff-list] New Travel Clerk All: We are excited to announce that Jessica Jasso has joined our office as an account clerk IV. Her main duties will include travel, invoice vouchers, and depositing gifts. Jessica is new to the University and is currently training and getting acclimated to the Concur system so please be patient with us during this transition. She can be reached at Jasso(a)purdue.edu<mailto:Jasso@purdue.edu> or 494-0144. Most of you that travel had Chris Cowden as a delegate. This will need to be changed to Jessica so that she can view your travel requests. This will allow her to help you should you have questions about Concur, plus it will make the process of viewing and/or approving your Requests & Expense Reports more timely. To add her as a Delegate in Concur please follow these steps: * Login to Concur * Click the Profile Tab * Click on request delegates on the left side of the page, click Add and type in Jessica Jasso in the search bar, when name is added below click on all the boxes it allows you to and save. Sincerely, Brad //////////////////////////////////////////// Brad Anthony [Description: W:\PU_signature_white_bg_215x80.png] Business Mgr AAE & MSE 765-494-5150 brada(a)purdue.edu<mailto:brada@purdue.edu> www.purdue.edu<http://www.purdue.edu/> We are Purdue.

FW: Pandora's Promise
by Stacey, Lisa A 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Good morning MSE students, faculty, and staff, Tomorrow evening there will be a free screening of Pandora's Promise in Loeb Playhouse. Pandora's Promise is a 2013 documentary film featuring environmentalists' take on nuclear power, and you can watch the trailer here: http://pandoraspromise.com/#/trailer. Doors open at 6:00pm, and it will be first come, first serve. The 90-minute documentary will feature a Q&A session with Dr. Robert Bean of the School of Nuclear Engineering, Dr. Laura Young of the Department of Political Sciences, and Dr. Loring Nies of the School of Civil Engineering and Division of Environmental and Ecological Engineering. What: Free screening of Pandora's Promise followed by Q&A When: Tomorrow (March 25th) at 6:00pm Where: Loeb Playhouse in Stewart Center Hope to see you there! Thanks, Kara Luitjohan

24 Mar '14

Hello Everyone--- This year's Student Night will be held on Thursday, May 1st. We need to know how many people will attend in order to have enough food for everyone. Student Night is for the whole Department (faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students). Senior Project posters will be on display, Hors D'oeuvres will be served (usually enough to make a meal of it), industry sponsors will be in attendance as well as the MSE Advisory Committee, and graduate, undergraduate, and alumni awards will be presented. Details are as follows: Date: Thursday, May 1, 2014 Time: 6:30 - 8:30PM Where: Ross Ade Pavilion, Buchanan Room Dress: Business Casual RSVP: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_4VJrm8AOjGcyfs1 Please click on the above link (Student Night Survey), by April 10th, to RSVP.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Viskanta Lecture / Tuesday, March 25th, 2-3 pm / ME 2054 Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:48:40 +0000 From: Baumgardt, Jacqueline C. <jackieb(a)purdue.edu> To: Gelfand, Johanna K <jo(a)purdue.edu>, Donna Bystrom (bystrom(a)ecn.purdue.edu) <bystrom(a)ecn.purdue.edu>, Chris Murray (chrismur(a)ecn.purdue.edu) <chrismur(a)ecn.purdue.edu> CC: Pan, Liang <liangpan(a)purdue.edu> Jo, Donna & Chris, Can you please share the attached seminar announcement with your faculty & grad students? Thank you. Jackie _________________________________________________ This Viskanta fellowship serves to honor the tremendous legacy of Prof. Raymond Viskanta and derives from a recently established endowment. The Viskanta Fellowship is annually awarded to an individual who has demonstrated abilities to perform independent and innovative research in the field of thermal sciences. This year, Professor Laurent Pilon is invited to visit us as Viskanta Fellow and give the 2014 Viskanta Lecture. Prof. Pilon graduated from Purdue and currently is a full professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA. His research focuses on radiation transfer, applied optics, interfacial and transport phenomena, nanostructured materials for energy applications such as pyroelectric energy conversion, energy storage systems, photosynthetic production of biofuels ( http://www.seas.ucla.edu/~pilon/ <http://www.seas.ucla.edu/%7Epilon/> ). ____________________________________ *2014 Viskanta Lecture* *in Thermal Sciences* *Tuesday, March 25, 2014* *2:00pm, Room ME 2054* *Laurent Pilon* *Professor* *University of California, Los Angeles* Continuum Modeling of Interfacial and Transport Phenomena in Electric Double Layer Capacitors Abstract: Electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs), also known as supercapacitors, have attracted significant attention as promising electrical energy storage systems. Applications range from hybrid electric vehicles to the smart grid with increasing contributions from intermittent renewable energy sources. EDLCs store energy via ion adsorption in the electric double layer forming at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces in highly porous materials. Dissociated ions, present in the electrolyte, are transported under the combined influence of diffusion and electrostatic forces and are subject to steric effects. This storage mechanism is very fast and highly reversible resulting in large power density and long cycle life. However, charging of EDLCs results in heat generation potentially leading to excessively large temperatures responsible for accelerated aging, increasing self-discharge rates, and thermal runaway. This seminar will review recent advances in physical modeling of interfacial and transport phenomena in EDLCs under equilibrium and charging and discharging conditions. Typical characterization method such as cyclic voltammetry was reproduced numerically to identify the dominant physical phenomena and to gain insight into experimental observations. In addition, a recent thermal model derived from first principles for EDLCs under constant-current cycling will be presented. In particular, irreversible Joule heating and reversible heat generation rates due to ion diffusion, steric effects, and changes in entropy of mixing will be discussed. Special effort will be made to systematically compare model predictions with experimental data. Finally, scaling analysis will be used to identify design rules for electrode and electrolyte for next generation EDLCs. Bio: Laurent Pilon received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in 2002. He then joined the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCLA where he is now Full Professor. His research group is engaged in a wide range of interdisciplinary research projects at the intersection between interfacial and transport phenomena, material science, and biology for sustainable energy conversion, storage, and efficiency technologies. He is the recipient of the 2005 U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the 2008 Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in Heat Transfer from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the 2009 Young Scientist Award in Radiative Transfer from the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer. He was elected Senior Member of SPIE in 2011. He also received several teaching awards from UCLA. Refreshments will be served at 1:30pm in ME 2054.
