A review on porous polymer composite materials for multifunctional electronic applications
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article Review)This review is focused on the rapidly expanding field of porous materials for the sensor, actuator, energy storage and energy generation application. The synthesis methods to produce excellent porous composites and designs ... -
An adaptive thresholding-based process variability monitoring
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)In high-dimensional processes, monitoring process variability is considerably difficult due to the large number of variables and the limited number of samples. Monitoring changes in the covariance matrix of a multivariate ... -
Bayesian framework for fault variable identification
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)In most manufacturing processes, identifying the faulty process variables that may lead to process changes is crucial for quality engineers and practitioners. There are several parametric procedures for identifying faulty ... -
Detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled elbows-Measurements and computational fluid dynamics predictions (RP-1682)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)This article presents a systematic study to measure detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 305�mm (12 in) and turning radii r/D = 1.5, and to, likewise, predict the velocity ... -
Effect of swirl at intake manifold on engine performance using ethanol fuel blend
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2020 , Article)Ethanol fuel is widely used as an alternative fuel in spark ignition engines. The use of ethanol reduces dependence on fuel from the fraction of hydrocarbons. As such, adding swirl generators to the intake manifold aims ... -
Effects of Turbulence Intensity and Biogas Composition on the Localized Forced Ignition of Turbulent Mixing Layers
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Three-dimensional compressible Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been used to investigate the localized forced ignition of statistically planar mixing layers of biogas/air mixtures for different levels of turbulence ... -
Energy Absorption Capability of Cotton Fiber/Epoxy Composite Square and Rectangular Tubes
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2016 , Article)This paper investigates the energy-absorption capability of natural fiber cotton fabric/epoxy square tubes. The cross-sectional aspect ratio was varied randomly from 0.50 to 2.57. Quasi-static crushing tests in axial and ... -
Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)An experimental program was implemented to study pressure losses in HVAC duct systems associated with 305 mm (12 in.) diameter close-coupled round five-gore elbows. The goal of this program was to experimentally verify a ... -
Interval estimation of quantiles and reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)In the estimation, using confidence intervals, of quantiles and reliability of the two parameter exponential distribution based on record data, a pivot is defined and its exact cumulative distribution function and probability ... -
Replacement policies for age and working numbers with random life cycle
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)It has been modeled for several replacement policies in literatures that the whole life cycle or operating interval of an operating unit should be finite rather than infinite as is done with the traditional method. However, ... -
Study to identify computational fluid dynamics models for use in determining HVAC duct fitting loss coefficients
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)This article presents results from a systematic study to establish whether computational fluid dynamics techniques are capable of predicting pressure drop in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 203 ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Polyaniline, Poly(3-fluoroaniline), and Poly(aniline-co-3-fluoroaniline) Derivatives Obtained by Chemical Oxidative Polymerization Methods
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2018 , Article)The syntheses of thermally stable, conducting polyaniline, poly(3-fluoroaniline), and poly(aniline-co-3-fluoroaniline) derivatives by chemical oxidative polymerization methods are described. By varying the mol% of ... -
Terminal settling velocity of a single sphere in drilling fluid
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)The accurate prediction of terminal settling velocity of solid spheres in non-Newtonian liquids is important for various fluid-particle systems such as slurry pipelines, separation processes, hole-cleaning in drilling ... -
Thermal comfort investigation of an outdoor air-conditioned area in a hot and arid environment
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)Thermal comfort in hot and arid outdoor environments is an industrial challenging field. An outdoor air-conditioned area was designed and built to host sport and social events during summers 2014 and 2015 in Qatar. This ... -
Vibration of rotating functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams with nonlinear thermal distribution
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2018 , Article)The vibration analysis of rotating, functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams under an in-plane nonlinear thermal loading is studied for the first time. The formulation is based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. ...
