Optical investigation of a long throated Venturi conveying inert spherical particulate with size range similar to pulverised coal
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
This experimental and numerical calculation work demonstrates the behaviour of a two-phase gas-solid Venturi. The type of two-phase flow studied is that encountered in conveying coal to the furnaces in power stations - a ...
Optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems in buildings with low to high renewable energy ratio
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
We develop a simulation-based meta-heuristic approach that determines the optimal size of a hybrid renewable energy system for residential buildings. This multi-objective optimization problem requires the advancement of a ...
Replacement policies for a parallel system with shortage and excess costs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
It has been assumed in most maintenance models that (i) the number of units for a parallel system can be predefined precisely, (ii) maintenance cost after failure should be avoided, and (iii) age replacement can always be ...
Active control of noise in ventilation ducts
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Ventilation ducts are often lined with passive absorption material for both thermal insulation and noise and vibration reduction. However, the noise reduction performance is not significant at low frequencies. Active Noise ...
Aeroacoustic Simulation for NASA CC3 Centrifugal Compressor Operating at off Design Condition
(2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper covers the characterization of the acoustic noise and the unsteady flow field of a high speed centrifugal compressor NASA CC3. In order to accurately predict the noise, all analyses are carried out through the ...
Kidney-on-a-chip: untapped opportunities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
The organs-on-a-chip technology has shown strong promise in mimicking the complexity of native tissues in vitro and ex vivo, and recently significant advances have been made in applying this technology to studies of the ...
Numerical simulation of stall development into surge and stall control using air injection in centrifugal compressors
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This study presents a numerical simulation of the formation of rotating stall and the initiation of surge in order to study the connection between stall and surge in centrifugal compressors. Also, the current paper introduces ...
Effect of microstructural evolution on wettability and tribological behavior of TiO2 nanotubular arrays coated on Ti–6Al–4V
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Self-organized TiO2 nanotubular arrays were fabricated by electrochemical anodization of Ti–6Al–4V plates in an NH4F/H3PO4 electrolyte. The effect of microstructural evolutions on the wettability and tribological behavior ...
Numerical simulation of using combined active and passive stall control techniques in centrifugal compressors
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This study presents a numerical simulation of stall control by using the casing treatment method which represents the passive control technique and also by using the air injection method which represents the active control ...
Crushing behavior of a unit cell of CFRP lattice core for sandwich structures’ application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Sandwich structures made of composites are designed mainly for higher and efficient load capacity. Mostly, the use of composite materials in lattice core sandwich structures is limited to the face sheet; whereas, the core ...
