As the application of nanoscale structures becomes increasingly commonplace in modern technologies, the comprehensive modelling of the subject has taken centre stage in its understanding. Take the modern application of nanoscale texturing for optical anti-reflectance as an example here; ... Read More
We present the model of THz sensor based on thermoelectric Bi-Sb thin films. The model is based on an electromagnetic heating interface and combines radiofrequency and heat transfer modules. The studied frequency was 0.14 THz, irradiation power 30 mW. Films had a thickness of 150 nm and ... Read More
Cylindrical grinding has become an integral part of machining of workpieces with an ultra-high precision and higher throughput. The grinding process involves the mechanical interaction of the grinding blade with the workpiece at relatively higher rotation speeds, with a higher energy ... Read More
Seawater can be converted into fresh water using solar energy. This is as an easy, suitable and green solution method to obtain heat for desalination. It is possible to concentrate the sunlight heat flux onto a small focal area by using a Fresnel lens. When the focal area is correctly ... Read More
Offshore operations, using Robotically Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in areas with high ambient temperatures require ampacity limitations to be established. Specifically, the risk of overheating ROV umbilicals and tethers when running at high power, due to multiple layers on winch drums is a ... Read More
Surface plasmon polaritons are electromagnetic modes excited at the conducting-dielectric interface owing to the resonant interaction between incident photons and free electrons at the conducting surface. Plasmonic resonances confine optical power at subwavelength scales, which allows ... Read More
Metamaterials are composites of subwavelength structures that can be engineered to affect the propagation of a wave in specific ways as it travels through the material. While metamaterials can be used with any type of wave, they are most commonly found in electromagnetic waves. However, ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is an advanced space propulsion system being studied in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been depicted in Figure 1. An experimental setup is already being used to gather dynamics of plasma with the help of ... Read More
With the use of COMSOL Multiphysics®, a full characterization of star shaped geometry structures of silver-zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO-Au) study is presented. Analysis with different thicknesses of gold cover, as well as with different lengths and additional arrangements of the structure have ... Read More
