Analysis of cooling plate designs for fuel cell applications
M'bika, Blice Nuchka Okome (2016)In this thesis, theoretical and computational analyses of the heat exchange in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cooling plate are described. Thermal management of the fuels cells is essential to ensure high ... -
Determination of an analytical relationship between entropy generation and mixing efficiency for micromixer applications.
Gillispie, Aric Martin (2017)This thesis presents a detailed computational analysis for a simple tee micro-mixing geometry. Micromixers have broad applications in heat exchangers and lab-on-chip (LOC) devices. Simply, a micromixer seeks to efficiently ... -
Development and characterization of a nano fiber based skin equivalent model.
Nomhwange, Hembafan (2018)Over the past three decades, significant progress has been made in the area of skin tissue engineering using different types of scaffolds such as non-cell based grafts and cell based grafts. The skin consists of the ... -
Effect of micron architectural modifications on the fracture of implant-cement interfaces.
Li, Yanling (2015)The majority of cemented hip replacements fail due to implant loosening. One design feature that may affect loosening rates is the fracture performance of implant-cement interface. The goal of the study is to develop an ... -
Modelling wireless power transfer using an array of Tesla coils.
Pierson, Casey Thomas (2017)Wireless power transmission, or WPT, is a well-demonstrated property in electrical science and physics. Coil-and-wave transmission (CWT) consists of two Tesla coils, one powered by a controlled voltage source v src and one ... -
Nanotopographical modifications of biomedical implants
Riahinezhad, Shahram. (2016) -
Numerical modeling and parametric study of laser ablation for fabrication in microfluidics.
Benton, Matthew James (2018)Use of CO2 lasers in the micro-fabrication processes has emerged as a promising technique for mass production of microfluidic devices. Laser micromachining offers competitive advantages over photolithographic processes ...
