The influence of aspect ratio (i.e. width to height ratio) of test specimens on the flow and fracture behaviour of fiber reinforced composites is herein examined. The composite material was prepared by isostatic pressing ...

Described in this paper is an alternative method for smoke generation for flow visualisation in low speed (subsonic) wind tunnel work. This method makes use of the smoke generating characteristics of Ammonia and Sulphur ...

The performance of a screen type solar air collector of different uniform mesh sizes and without a glass cover is investigated theoretically. Formulation of simultaneous radiation and convection heat transfer for a semi-steady ...

A new model reference adaptive control scheme, suitable for linear multivariable discrete time systems, is proposed. A set of parameter adaptation algorithms are developed based on the validity of perfect matching between ...

A proven duct flow model is used to examine the influence of the intake duct geometric and inlet flow parameters on the pressure recovery performance of intake ducts for high speed flight. The geometric parameters include: ...

This paper attempts to review the limitations for using the important ceramics in contact with corrosive media. Different types of ceramics are included. Corrosion properties of ceramics and their electrical properties are ...

A data-base computer package is herein developed to provide an effective tool lor llie studv. evaluation and rectification of tile academic performance of university students. As a test case, the newly established Faculty ...

This paper deals with the nature, typical surface features and common forms of corrosion. It also reports corrosion rates in various locations and under differing environmental conditions, viz. tropical, marine, urban and ...

The concept of co-rotating axial compressor was conceived primarily as a means of overcoming the inherent rotational speed mismatch between a fan and its driving turbine in moderate to high bypass ratio turbo-fan engines. ...

Accreditation is a way of assessing the quality of education. In the United States accreditation of engineering programs is carried out by volunteers, engineering educators and practitioners who evaluate programs against ...
