Warming impact on energy use of HVAC system in buildings of different thermal qualities and in different climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In order to combat climate change, energy use in the building must be further reduced. Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in residential buildings account for considerable fraction of global energy ...
Controlling the trajectory of a flexible ultrathin endoscope for fully automated bladder surveillance
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Article)
During cystoscopy, the urologist manually steers a cyst scope inside a patient's bladder to visually inspect the inner surface. Cystoscopies are performed as part of surveillance for bladder cancer, making it the most ...
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed methane-air flames for low-emission engines
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed flames has been investigated. Two flow configurations have been considered in this study; counter-flow and bluff-body flames. Different ...
A validated design methodology for a closed-loop subsonic wind tunnel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A systematic investigation into the design and simulation of flow parameters in a closed-loop wind tunnel was carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The analytical model for estimating pressure losses were ...
Synthesis and characterization of electrically conducting copolymers of poly(aniline-co-o-iodoaniline)
(
World Scientific Publishing Co.
, 2014 , Article)
Functionalized copolymers of poly(aniline-co-o-iodoaniline) have been synthesized by the chemical oxidative polymerization method by using o-iodoaniline (o-IA) and aniline (AN) as monomer units by changing their molar feed ...
