Review of innovative approaches of thermo-mechanical refrigeration systems using low grade heat
(
Hindawi
, 2020 , Article)
Cooling and refrigeration systems consume around 17% of the world-wide electricity. Enhancing the performance of these systems, using renewable energy resources and waste heat recovered from industrial processes, will lead ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...
Simulation-Based Parametric Study for the Hybrid Superplastic Forming of AZ31
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
As the lightest constructional metal on earth, magnesium alloys offer excellent potential for weight reduction in the transportation industry and it was observed that some magnesium alloys exhibit superior ductility and ...
Elastic properties of chiral, anti-chiral, and hierarchical honeycombs: A simple energy-based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of two geometric refinement strategies widespread in natural structures, chirality and self-similar hierarchy, on the in-plane elastic response of two-dimensional honeycombs were studied systematically. Simple ...
Engaging Engineering Students in Active Learning and Critical Thinking through Class Debates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the program of engineering, typically there are courses that are heavily dependent on mathematics and derivations of fundamental concepts. A lot of active learning can be done in these classes by using the engineering ...
Large eddy simulation of surge inception and active surge control in a high speed centrifugal compressor with a vaned diffuser
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, we present a numerical investigation of active surge control and performance improvement for an aero engine centrifugal compressor (NASA CC3) using self-recirculating bleed slots with different bleeding ...
Time-domain simulation of second-order irregular wave diffraction based on a hybrid water wave radiation condition
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A time-domain second-order method is presented to simulate three-dimensional wave–body interaction. In the approach, Taylor series expansions are applied to the free surface boundary conditions, and a Stokes perturbation ...
Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ...
Heat transfer measurements of Polyalpha-Olefin- boron nitride nanofluids for thermal management and lubrication applications
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the first study is reported combining Polyalpha-Olefin (PAO) oil with hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) to produce new class of nanofluids for heat transfer and lubrication applications. The heat transfer ...
