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 ...
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 ...
Characterisation of multiphase fluid-structure interaction using non-intrusive optical techniques
(2011 , Article)
The purpose of this study is to determine experimentally the effectiveness of passive drag reduction techniques (which involve adjusting surface geometry) within a chaotic multiphase flow system. To quantify the intrusion ...
Solving the inverse problem of crack identification using fuzzy genetic algorithms
(2010 , Conference Paper)
Failure due to low-cycle fatigue initiated cracks in rotating equipment may result in catastrophic scenarios. It is, therefore, important to identify fault parameters, such as crack size and crack location, to avoid such ...
Numerical investigation of steady air injection flow to control rotating stall in centrifugal compressors
(
Web Portal ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper concerns the role of air injection method in stabilization and stall control in centrifugal compressors. The main aim is to find the best arrangement of air injection parameters such as injection angle and ...
Unsteady CFD simulation for high speed centrifugal compressor operating near surge
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Centrifugal compressor surge and stall are an instabilities flow and system phenomenon, which can lead to a loss of engine power, large pressure transients and, in some cases, failure of the compressor and bearing system. ...
Real-Time Dynamic Transit Signal Priority Optimization for Coordinated Traffic Networks Using Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Transit signal priority (TSP) has gained popularity in providing public transportation buses with preferential treatment at signalized intersections. Many studies have addressed its implementation in prompting enhanced ...
Faculty salary equity in the College of Arts and Sciences at a regional mid-western university: an exploratory study
(
International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines
, 2010 , Article)
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were salary inequities between male and female faculty members in the School of Arts and Sciences at a regional public university. An analysis-of-covariance (ANCOVA) model ...
Mix and match: Collaborative expert-crowd judging for building test collections accurately and affordably
(
CEUR-WS
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Crowdsourcing offers an affordable and scalable means to collect relevance judgments for information retrieval test collections. However, crowd assessors may showhigher variance in judgment quality than trusted assessors. ...
Effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of long date palm leaf fiber reinforced epoxy composites
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
This paper examines the effect of the first 24 hours water absorption on the mechanical properties and morphology of the long date palm leave fiber (DPLF) and unidirectional reinforced epoxy composites. The mechanical ...
