Heat transfer in turbulent channel flow with roughness on the walls: numerical simulation
(2011-12)
Reynolds Average Navier Stokes (RANS) simulations are performed to study a turbulent channel flow with different roughness on the lower and upper walls. Several roughness were used. Square Bars, V-shaped and segmented ...
MRI and CT image based on 3D reconstruction and medical rapid prototyping (MRP)
(2005)
In this research, an interactive software tool has been developed for creating 3D models of anatomical organs and other body structures from 2D medical imaging data.
3D models are generated by using the Marching Cubes ...
Wireless mesh network for manufacturing floor monitoring
(2012-05)
As the demand for higher quality and decrease in production costs and maintenance downtime increases, Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) has become an attractive practice in the manufacturing industry, which in turn calls ...
Numerical analysis of Berdut linear electric motor for train propulsion
(2009)
This thesis investigates the performance of the Berdut linear motor for use in the propulsion of trains. This motor is part of a novel technology that uses an array of permanent magnets and iron-based materials in the ...
Numerical study of two-phase turbulent flow
(2008)
In this thesis we calculate various Lagrangian correlation functions for fluid and particle velocities along the trajectories of the particles in two-phase turbulent flow cases.
We consider the case of stationary ...
Development and characterization of a multi-cellular in vitro model for the study of nanoparticle-cell Interface
(2018-12-12)
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is distinguished by various characteristics which are associated to its poor prognosis. This type of cancer is aggressive in nature and has no targeted therapies. The tumor microenvironment ...
Dynamics of parts on narrow tracks using the multibody theory
(2004)
The vibratory feeder is used to feed parts in manufacturing processes. This work applied the multibody theory to describe the dynamic behavior of rectangular and cylindrical parts. The analysis studied the following cases: ...
Preliminary performance study of Sherwood Regulator
(2006)
This is a Project of practical application directed to the liquefied petroleum gas industry at the University of Puerto Rico and the objectives of this project are to study the 800 JBC Sherwood Regulator performances and ...
Efectos de la deformación mecánica sobre compuestos de matriz de aluminio tratados térmicamente
(2004)
A novel aluminum matrix composite reinforced with ceramic particles of AlB2 obtained
through a cast process at temperatures below 800°C using commercial alloys of
aluminum-boron (5 wt%. B) and aluminum-copper (33.2 wt%. ...
An experimental study of aluminum boride particles distribution in centrifugally cast AI/AIBx composites
(2009)
In this research, centrifugal casting has been used to investigate the influence of casting parameters and chemical composition on the manufacturing of functionally graded Al-2 wt. %B-6 wt. %Mg and Al-2 wt. %B-6 wt. %Cu ...
