Tribo-Mechanical, Biocompatibility, and Corrosion Properties Investigation of Zirconium and SST 304 by Application of Hydroxyapatite/Reduced Graphene Oxide/Palladium-Platinium Nanocomposite Coatings
(Mechanical Engineering, 2020 , Dissertation)
This thesis describes the synthesis of HA/rGO/Pd and HA/rGO/Pt nanocomposite thin film coatings on stainless steel 304 and pure zirconium applied via an electrodeposition method. The corrosion and biocompatibility ...
Turbuelence Modeling and Valication to Predict Velocity Profiles in Close-Coupled Five-Gore Elbows
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
This research work aims to validate advanced turbulence modeling techniques used to predict complex flows in close-coupled five-gore elbows and similar complex geometries using data from 2016 ASHRAE RP-1682 (Study to ...
Development of Internally Pressurized Composite/Metallic/Composite Hybrid Pipes
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
The challenge to the pipeline industry is to meet the increased worldwide
demand while reducing the cost. Currently, metallic and composite pipelines are the
most cost-effective way of transporting water, oil, and gas. ...
IGNITION DELAY TIME INVESTIGATION OF GTL FUEL BLENDS
(Mechanical Engineering, 06-2 , Dissertation)
Ignition delay is a vital combustion characteristic of any fuel that directly affects the development of internal combustion engines (ICEs) and exhaust emissions, especially in diesel engines. Considering the global interest ...
