Preface
A large international conference on Advances in Engineering Technologies and
Physical Science was held in London, UK, 1–3 July 2015, under the World
Congress on Engineering 2015 (WCE 2015). The WCE 2015 is organized by the
InternationalAssociationofEngineers(IAENG);theCongressdetailsareavailable
at: http://www.iaeng.org/WCE2015. IAENG is a non-profit international associa-
tionforengineersandcomputerscientists,whichwasfoundoriginallyin1968.The
World Congress on Engineering serves as good platforms for the engineering
community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. The conferences have
also struck a balance between theoretical and application development. The con-
ferencecommitteeshavebeenformedwithoverthreehundredcommitteemembers
whoaremainlyresearchcenterheads,facultydeans,departmentheads,professors,
and research scientists from over 30 countries. The congress is truly global inter-
nationaleventwithahighlevelofparticipationfrommanycountries.Theresponse
to the congress has been excellent. There have been more than 700 manuscript
submissions for the WCE 2015. All submitted papers have gone through the
peer-review process, and the overall acceptance rate is 51 %.
This volume contains 39 revised and extended research articles written by
prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include
mechanicalengineering,wirelessnetworks,knowledgeengineering,manufacturing
engineering, and industrial applications. The book offers the state of art of
tremendous advances in engineering technologies and physical science and appli-
cations,andalsoservesasanexcellentreferenceworkforresearchersandgraduate
students working on engineering technologies and physical science and
applications.

Preparation, Characterization
and Molecular Transport of a Supported
Silica Membrane for Gas Separation
Ngozi Nwogu and Edward Gobina
Abstract This paper presents the synthesis and hydrodynamic characteristics
of a surface-modified ceramic membrane. The porous support consists of gamma-
alumina and a titanium wash-coat. Single gas permeation through the membranes
was measured at 298 and 373 K using H , N , Ar, CO and CH . The membranes
2 2 2 4
showed separation factors that are consistent with Knudsen diffusion mechanism.
Structural characteristic and pore size distribution of themodified silica membrane
were analyzed with liquid nitrogen adsorption at 77 K to obtain gas adsorption/
desorption isotherm of membrane materials. The adsorption/desorption curve for
thesurface-modifiedsilicaceramicmembraneshowedatypeIV/Visothermwhich
indicates a mesoporous structural make-up. Scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) images show that membrane surface has a dense silica film and were
defect-free. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) confirms the formation of
silica films and indicating the presence of C, O, Al, Si, Cl and Ti elements on the
modified support. H permselectivity toN (H /N = 4.37) is higher than the ideal
