Design and control of resilient interconnected microgrids for reliable mass transit systems
(2019-03-01)
Mass transit systems are relied on a daily basis to transport millions of passengers and bring billions of dollars' worth of economic goods to market. While some forms of mass transit rely on a fuel, electrified railway ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A study on regulation standard for SMRs
(2019-08-01)
The current thinking in the nuclear energy industry is favoring by small-scale Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) with improved safety and multiple applications compared to conventional large-size nuclear power plants. The ...
Reinforcing effect of PVDF/MWCNTs nanofibers on dental resin based composites
(2019-12-01)
In the present study, the restorative composite resin was fabricated by impregnating electro-spun PVDF/MWCNTs nanofiber membrane within the based dental polymer (BisGMA/TEGDMA) using photo-polymerization. The flexural ...
Comprehensive Investigation on Content-based Medical Image Retrieval using Radon Barcodes
(2019-12-01)
Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) systems are vital to the underlying operation of medical databases because they allow quick search and retrieval of medical images. Radon Barcode (RBC)s are binary complementary ...
