Investment casting is practised in both the automotive and aerospace industries, to produce casted components where a high-quality surface finish is critical. Vacuum induction melting (VIM) and direct pouring into an investment casting shell mould is an advantageous manufacturing ... Read More
Metal hydride based thermal energy storage systems belong to the category of heat storage systems which rely on reversible thermo-chemical reactions to store and release heat. Specifically, these systems utilize metal/alloy hydride decomposition (endothermic) and formation (exothermic) ... Read More
Introduction Fluid flow patterns in research or process-scale equipment where a fluid is contained between concentric rotating cylinders in the absence of bulk axial flow has received notable attention in the field of fluid mechanics. Annular flows occur in many practical applications, ... Read More
Array-based technologies are important for many applications in drug discovery, microbiology and cell biology. A large-scale array of single cells allows high-throughput monitoring of behaviors of individual cells in parallel, avoiding the lack of cell specificity inherent to bulk ... Read More
Introduction: Electric swing adsorption is a promising technique for energy efficient gas cleaning and adsorbate recovery. Contrary to state of the art temperature swing and pressure swing adsorption, one can control the mass flow independently of the heat flow for desorption in an ... Read More
Electrospray is a well-known encapsulation method for preparing monodisperse nanoparticles from a multitude of different precursors. It has been used to produce inorganic and polymeric nanoparticles and to encapsulate bioactives having poor solubility in water. Electrospraying is a ... Read More
A magnetic colloid, also known as a ferrofluid, is a colloidal suspension of single-domain magnetic particles with typical dimensions of about 10nm, dispersed in a liquid carrier. Since the 1960, when these materials were initially synthesized, their technological applications are ... Read More
In this paper, we discuss a simplified finite element method simulation of surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line hydrogen sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics. A delay line SAW sensor consists of a transmitting interdigital transducer (IDT) and a receiving IDT separated by a few ... Read More
Dissolution of calcite plays an important role in various processes such as enhanced oil and gas recovery, CO2 sequestration, and groundwater transport for the drinking water production. Dissolution rates predicted by pore scale and continuum scale models are often faster than the ... Read More
Combustion instability modeling of Solid Rocket Motors (SRM) remains a topic of active research. Many rockets display violent fluctuations in pressure, velocity, and temperature originating from the complex interactions between the combustion process, acoustics, and steady-state gas ... Read More
