One of the obstacles preventing photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies from scaling up to meet increasing electricity demands is the inevitable dust accumulation on the optical surfaces of solar collectors. The ideal location for solar power is arid environments due to ... Read More
Operation in strong magnetic fields, vacuum or high precision positioning has often surpassed the limits of traditional actuators. Piezoelectric motors provide a suitable alternative in these applications where non-ferromagnetic based construction or low inertia may be required. We ... Read More
While electric double layers play a crucial role in many biophysical processes involving charged molecular species (such as proteins and DNA), they are often a limiting factor in technological applications where charged conductors are brought in contact with electrolyte solutions. ... Read More
This study investigates the effect of uniform magnetic field on the deformation of a ferrofluid droplet in a two dimensional (2D) simple shear flow by means of numerical simulation. The magnetic field is applied in a perpendicular direction to the flow direction. A numerical scheme ... Read More
Vibrations and noise of high power transformers have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical interests over last few years [1, 2]. For such transformers operating under high voltage (~ 100 kV) and power (~ 100 MVA), noise generated is significantly attributed to load noise ... Read More
Recent rapid progress in MEMS with wireless communication system has enabled low power micro sensor network for human body, Body Area Sensor Network (BASN). The information gathering from BASNs will provide a significant opportunities for various medical applications. One of the key ... Read More
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) strives to push magnet technology to ever higher field strengths. Supported by a unified effort of material research as well as coil research, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi 2212) technology shows promise as a high temperature superconductor (HTS) ... Read More
Manufacture of complex micro-scale parts such as biomedical devices and micro tools that require an excellent surface finish has required non-conventional manufacturing processes such as pulsed electrochemical machining (PECM). Additional reverse polarity pulses make the PECM bipolar ... Read More
Three-dimensionally varying flattened Luneburg Lens structure whose axisymmetric invariance of material parameters is calculated by conformal mapping, presents a numerical challenge for three dimensional modelling. To address this problem, conventionally a two dimensional quasi-conformal ... Read More
Navy systems, such as turbine engines, produce large quantities of thermal energy. This energy is a byproduct of the work produced by the engine during operation and is typically rejected to its surroundings. The temperature difference between the turbines and the ocean is substantial ... Read More
