Investigation of flow reversal in a vertical channel with a cyclic heater
(1999)
A numerical study of airflow in a vertical channel between parallel plates with a channel heater has been conducted. The numerical model parallels a typical home fireplace. The primary objective of the study is to verify ...
Investigations of the Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of the Atrioventricular Heart Valve Leaflets and Chordae Tendineae
(2020-05)
The unidirectional blood flow through the heart is facilitated by the atrioventricular heart valves – namely the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve. The two atrioventricular heart valves (AHVs) are composed of soft tissue ...
Material Analysis for High-Efficiency Polymer Composite Heat Exchanger
(2020-05)
Heat exchangers are widely used in different industries as primary devices to transfer heat between fluids or gases that are at different temperatures. These devices are most commonly made out of metals, which are known ...
Generative Design, Characterization, and Testing for Additive Manufacturing of Lightweight Structures
(2023-05-12)
Generative design has developed over the years through various CAD software’s and has changed the industry in new ways. Generative design has opened a new aspect of engineering that can change industries through design ...
Design and development of a Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printer for potential biomedical engineering applications.
(2023-05)
An additive manufacturing method called Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) involves heating material particles to bond them together. Each two-dimensional layer is selectively sintered in the fabrication piston until the part ...
Design and Performance Evaluation of a Retractable Wingtip Vortex Reduction Device
(2019-12)
As an airfoil achieves lift, the pressure differential at the wingtips trigger the roll up of fluid which results in swirling wakes. This wake is characterized by the presence of strong rotating cylindrical vortices that ...
Development of an Empirical Propeller Thrust Model Using Experimental Measurements and Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2020-05)
Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing an ever-increasing role in naval operations. In order for these UAVs to safely operate autonomously in a wide range of conditions, robust control systems must be ...
Computational investigations of a shape‐memory polymer foam embolization device for intracranial aneurysms
(2021)
The objective of this research is to determine the efficacy of an intracranial aneurysm treatment option. An open‐source computational fluid dynamics software is used to simulate blood flow through 6 patient‐specific ...
Identifying Key Stimulation Parameters in Eagle Ford Shale: Data Mining and Statistical Approach
(2017-08-01)
The principal question for this thesis is as follows:
What are the key hydraulic fracturing parameters that affect the amount of hydrocarbons that can be recovered in Eagle Ford Shale?
The problem considered in this ...
PRACTICAL COUGH DETECTION IN PRESENCE OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND PRELIMINARY DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS FROM COUGH SOUND USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
(2020-05-07)
Cough is one of the most common symptoms for many of the diseases. Physicians have been using characteristics of cough for preliminary diagnosis of certain respiratory diseases for ages. But the methods have been subjective ...
