Brownian dynamics simulation of colloidal particles in a Gay-Berne suspension
(2013)
Complex colloidal fluids have become an emerging composite material useful for novel industrial and technological applications. The dispersion of colloids in anisotropic fluids with crystal-like structures, such as nematic ...
Evaluation of methods for idea generation and selection for interdisciplinary entrepreneurial student teams
(2020-07-24)
This research explores the ideation and selection methods used by interdisciplinary student teams who use Design Thinking during the early-design stage to create solutions to real-world problems. Two experiments were created ...
Wireless sensor mesh networks for real time liquid level monitoring system
(2012-05)
Sensor networks are an indispensable requirement for a multiple applications, from the home appliances to the most ground breaking technology. They are now used in many industrial and civilian application areas, including ...
Heat and mass transfer effects in air-cooled vertical tube absorbers
(2007)
Most of the models to predict the heat and mass transfer in vertical absorption chillers underestimate the heat and mass transfer coefficients. Generally the models put too many constraints such as: laminar profile, constant ...
Characterization of an automated, portable, and reusable enterococcus faecalis biosensor for beach water quality.
(2019-12-10)
Recreational water-quality monitoring requires measurements of enterococcus bacteria concentrations in 100-milliliter water samples. Lab-on-a-chip biosensors are an alternative tool to accomplish effective sensing, with ...
Tribological characterization of Al-Cu-Mg-B composites subject to mechanical wear
(2009-12)
The tribological properties of a series of aluminum matrix composites reinforced with AlB2 particles developed for machinery parts intended for aerospace and automotive applications were evaluated. This thesis encompasses ...
Characterization of bidimensional geometry through solid modeling software using A C++ interface
(2009)
In any design process a detailed description and communication of design ideas or specifications is essential. As part of the final design description are the engineering drawings that represent a detailed characterization ...
Self-assembly of Janus Magnetic colloids with radially shifted dipole
(2019-07-11)
The self-assembly Janus Magnetic colloids with radially shifted dipole are stud- ied using Brownian dynamics simulations, by is using a quasi-two-dimensional sys- tem. The properties and behavior of the process of ...
Numerical assessment of roughness effects on boundary layer development over adjacent blades
(2020-06-24)
Surface roughness is a condition that affects the aerodynamic performance of compressor blades. For instance, erosion, corrosion, and fouling, among other phenomena, can cause surface roughness, in compressor blades to ...
Data-driven life prediction model for bearing failure
(2009)
Throughout this work, a prognostic tool for the prediction of the remaining useful life of bearings using experimental data based on vibration data analysis is developed using MATLAB®. The experimental data used us that ...
