Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) are carried out to study the channel flow V-shaped roughness on both wall. The roughness is modeled by the immerse boundary method for passive heat transport in a turbulent channel flow ...

Corrosion resistance is one of the essential requirements that determine the application of a metallic alloy as a biomaterial. The titanium alloy, gamma titanium aluminide (γTiAl), widely known for its low density, high ...

The main objective of this study is to calculate the heat-transfer coefficients for natural convection from a heated, vertical flat plate into a supercritical fluid. In the first part of this work, an equation for the ...

One of the most important aspects of controlling a robotic manipulator is the solution of its Inverse Kinematics problem. Numerical methods, although more computationally challenging than algebraic or geometric methods, ...

Microfluidic devices have become a great tool to target biological cells individually. They are easy to manufacture, involve short time assays, use small sample and reagent volumes, and usually have low Reynolds number ...

Al-Cu composites reinforced with diboride particles were fabricated by gravity casting. A thermomechanical analysis (TMA) system allowed studying hardness and creep behavior of the composites. The composite hardness was ...

Sandwich composites are increasingly being used in the ship hull design due mainly to (i) their high strength to weight ratio, and (ii) the ability to functionally grade them for a broad range of commercial and naval ...

Production of ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) has been studied for several decades, especially for applications on the aerospace industry that require materials for extreme environments. Traditional methods of ...

Electroporation, or electropermeabilization, is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a biological cell is subjected to an external electric field. This technique is typically used in laboratory or medical settings when ...

Phase changes materials (PCMs) have been studied as passive cooling alternative for different conditions. Due to the US Army need for the development of a passive cooling system alternative for pulsed power applications, ...
