An advanced electrospinning method of fabricating nanofibrous patterned architectures with controlled deposition and desired alignment
(2015-11-18)
We introduce a versatile advanced method of electrospinning for fabricating various kinds of nanofibrous patterns along with desired alignment, controlled amount of deposition and locally variable density into the ...
Experimental and theoretical investigation of novel phase change materials for thermal applications
(2015-08-01)
An experimental investigation is conducted to test the thermal properties, behaviour and characteristics of R134a clathrates with additives, as phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs’ charging characteristics are analysed and ...
Optimal resource sharing and spectrum leasing in energy efficient relay-assisted networks
(2015-07-01)
Assuming a bidirectional relay assisted network, we first study the problem of optimal resource sharing between two transceiver pairs. One of the pairs, referred to as the primary pair, owns the spectral resources while ...
Mass transfer and particle dissolution in liquid-gas and solid-liquid flows: Application to hydrogen production processes.
(2013-10-01)
Many environmental problems are related to the production, transformation and use
of energy. Some of the concerns include, but are not limited to, acid rain, ozone depletion
and climate change. Therefore, “greener” ...
Mechanics of machining metal matrix composites: analytical modeling and finite element simulation
(2015-01-01)
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are commonly utilized materials in various industries, including applications in aerospace and automotive industries, due to their outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and wear resistance. ...
Robotic radiation mapping using modelling and probabilistic analysis of sparse data
(2015-07-01)
An approach for generating radiation intensity maps, comprised of a mobile robotic platform and an integrated radiation model, is presented, and its ability to generate accurate radiation maps in simulation studies as well ...
Investigation of energy storage options for thermal management in hybrid electric vehicles
(2013-01-01)
Electric and hybrid electric vehicles could have a significant role in the sustainable transportation. Higher power density lead to extra heat generation and thermal runaway in the Li-ion cells. Therefore, a successful ...
Risk-modeling tools for designing resilient micro energy grids
