Vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is very essential field owing to their many promising applications in tiny instruments. The unique and interesting properties of CNTs, particularly their mechanical and electrical ...

As a crucial step in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl cycle, the performance analysis of heat transfer process is of paramount importance. However, as a newly built system, the major obstacle of applying ...

Hydrogen, as one of the best alternative energy carrier candidates, is easier to sustain than fossil fuel. Hydrogen demand has significantly increased as a clean energy carrier. The Cu-Cl cycle is one of the capable ...

This thesis is a fundamental study that was conducted experimentally to investigate the effects of different surface types on turbulent flows over forward facing steps. A particle image velocimetry technique was employed ...

There exists a large mismatch between the bumper of a passenger vehicle and the ground clearance of heavy vehicles. During collisions between the car and the side of the heavy vehicle, a large amount of intrusion is observed ...

Cogeneration is a highly efficient approach to generating electricity and process heat from the same fuel source. It is an approach of utilizing waste energy products for a useful purpose that significantly improves the ...

The flow-excited acoustic resonance in shallow rectangular cavities can be a source of severe noise and/or excessive vibration. This phenomenon is excited when one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure is ...

We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ...

Imaging and image processing have been used in variety of applications, such as medical, astronomy, forensic, and industry. Numerous techniques have been proposed to solve speci c problems faced in particular applications ...

Ammonia as a transportation fuel offers a carbon-free, hydrogen rich energy source that emits no greenhouse gases in combustion, and has no global warming potential. Furthermore, it may be produced from any renewable ...
