Inter-model, analytical, and experimental validation of a heat balance based residential cooling load calculation procedure
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: A systematic validation of the ASHRAE heat balance based residential cooling load calculation procedure (RHB) has been performed with inter-model comparison, analytical verification and experimental ...
Multiscale modeling and simulation: Incorporation of mesoplasticity between atomistic and continuum
(2007-08)
Scope and Method of Study: In the framework of multiscale modeling, two modeling techniques at the meso/micro scale, namely, mesoplasticity and discrete dislocation are employed to study the mechanical behavior of single ...
Effects of ion irradiation on the surface mechanical behavior of hybrid sol-gel derived silicate thin films
(2007-05)
A study on the effects of ion irradiation on the surface mechanical behavior of hybrid sol-gel derived thin films has been performed. Hybrid organic/inorganic modified silicate thin films were synthesized by sol-gel ...
Novel fabrication of SiC based ceramics for nuclear applications
(2009-05)
Advances in nuclear reactor technology and the use of gas-cooled fast reactors require the development of new materials that can operate at the higher temperatures expected in these systems. These materials include refractory ...
Effects of dynamic shear stress on endothelial cells, platelets and their interactions
(2013-05)
Coronary heart disease (CHD), characterized by degenerative changes in coronary circulation, is the leading cause of death in the US. Vascular wall endothelial cells (EC) and circulating blood platelets play a major role ...
Thermal performance of mechanical pipe insulation systems at below-ambient temperature
(2013-12)
Mechanical pipe insulation systems are commonly applied to cold piping surfaces in most industrial and commercial buildings in order to limit the heat losses and prevent water vapor condensation on the pipe exterior surfaces. ...
