Tribological capabilities of carbon based nano additives in liquid and semi-liquid lubricants
(2019-04-01)
The growing population, the environmental challenges and limitations of nonrenewable resources have enforced researchers to improve the energy efficiency and reduce energy wastage in all industrial sectors including ...
Numerical investigation of turbulent combustion regimes on localized forced ignition using stratified combustible mixture
(2019-03-01)
Localized forced ignition of turbulent stratified mixtures has been numerically analyzed based on three- dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) for different values of Karlovitz number (Ka) corresponding to different ...
Enhancing the effectiveness of Stirling engine regenerators
(2019-04-01)
A discrete heat transfer model is developed to determine which parameters influence the effectiveness of Stirling engine regenerators and quantify how they influence it. It is revealed that the regenerator thermal mass ...
Proposing an ensemble-based model using data clustering and machine learning algorithms for effective predictions
(2019-08-01)
One of the most important tasks in machine learning is prediction. Data scientists use various regression methods to find the most appropriate and accurate model applicable for each type of datasets. This study proposes a ...
Integrated topology optimization design and process planning for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
Industry 4.0 demands that the systems and processes in today’s product design and manufacturing not just be automated, but to be robust and containing many feedback mechanisms which enables it to be self-correcting. The ...
Development of active trailer steering systems for pickup truck-trailer combinations
(2019-08-01)
Lateral dynamics of articulated vehicles continue to remain a subject of concern in the design of safety systems. Vehicle-trailer combinations tend to exhibit low lateral stability and poor maneuverability, especially under ...
Influence of forced convection on sessile droplet evaporation
(2019-04-01)
Evaporation is a phase change process with potential for achieving large heat transfer rates under high air temperatures due to the latent heat of vaporization. Bioin-spired artificial perspiration systems can leverage the ...
Design and analysis of active aerodynamic control systems for increasing the safety of high-speed road vehicles
(2019-07-01)
The lateral stability and the safety of road vehicles is dependent on the vehicle design and operating conditions. Under operating conditions such as slippery roads, high lateral acceleration and tight cornering, the forces ...
Analytical modelling of annular flow magnetorheological valves for advanced fluid control
(2019-08-01)
Magnetorheological valves have the potential to disrupt the fluid control industry with their numerous advantages over mechanical valves. The current design and development process of these valves largely leverages computer ...
Energy management system of a microgrid with distributed generation
(2019-08-01)
An Energy Management System (EMS) is required to control the flow of power and match generation with the load within a microgrid during grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. In grid-connected mode, a microgrid ...
