Integration of phase change material-based thermal energy storage in air distribution systems to increase building power flexibility
(2020-12-18)
Thermal energy storage is one of the many strategies that are effective in alleviating the electrical power supply and demand imbalance issues on the electric grid, and buildings are a good place to implement such storage ...
Effect of Oxygen Content on Soot Formation in a Co-Flow Diffusion Flame Fueled with Canola Methyl Ester and Diesel
(2021-05-14)
The release of carbon particles (or soot; nanoscale sized carbon spheres) during a combustion process is the sign of hydrocarbon fuel not burning completely. The physical property (nano scaled) and chemical compounds ...
Combustion Characteristics of Three-component Fuel Blends in a Porous Media Burner at Lean Conditions
(2017-05)
The increasing energy demand and the growing concern over the environmental impact caused by the combustion of fossil fuels require the development of effective alternative fuel sources. Biodiesels and bio-alcohols are ...
An Experimental Setup to Measure Argon Leak Rate Through Barriers for Static and Rotational Motion
(2022-08)
As a greenhouse gas, methane significantly impacts global warming and air pollution. Oil and gas production, crude oil transportation, refining, and natural gas processing, transportation, and distribution are considered ...
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Carbon Nanofiber Nanocomposite with Piezoresistive Sensing Functions
(2017-08)
Flexible material that can be deployed for sensing a wide range of pressure and strain is an active research area due to potential applications in engineering and biomedical devices. Current load sensing materials such as ...
Investigation of Tethered System for Creating Artificial Gravity
(2018)
Interplanetary journeys are long; taking anywhere between 6 months to a few years. Studies performed with astronauts in the various space missions have provided insights on adverse effects of microgravity on the human body. ...
The effect of bulk viscosity on compressible couette flow with blowing
(1992)
The effect of bulk viscosity on a compressible couette flow is considered between two porous parallel walls in which the lower wall is at rest and the upper wall is moving at a constant velocity. The flow between the walls ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Porous CNF/PDMS Nanocomposite for Sensing Application
(2018-08-02)
Electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer-based materials are growing as one of the critical needs for the emerging field of wearable electronics due to its high elastic limits and good biocompatibility. ...
The Feasibility of Using X-Ray Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography for Non-Destructive Testing of Aircraft Structural
(2020-06-15)
Aviation safety is a very important aspect of the aviation industry. One of the most important methods for increasing aviation safety is the non-destructive testing method. The non-destructive testing method is considered ...
Blowoff characteristics of partially premixed flames of prevaporized blends of biofuels and petroleum fuels
(2017-12-15)
The laminar partially premixed flames of prevaporized Jet A, canola methyl ester (CME), palm methyl ester (PME), soy methyl ester (SME), and blend flames of Jet A and CME-PME-SME were studied over a range of equivalence ...
