Combined flow and heat transfer characterization of open cell aluminum foams
(2005)
The use of open-cell metal foams have been widely increasing given by its diverse novel properties in various areas including aerospace, electronics and automotive among others. They are a relative new class of materials ...
Synthesis and characterization of polyimide cobalt ferrite nanocomposites for potential applications in mems
(2009)
In the present work, cobalt ferrite nanocrystals were synthesized under size-controlled conditions in aqueous phase and incorporated into a polyimide matrix at various volumetric loads. Synthesized 20nm-cobalt ferrite ...
Flow and entropy characteristics around airfoils in subsonic and supersonic flows
(2006)
The presented research work analyzes numerically the flow characteristics such as density, pressure, and temperature at subsonic and supersonic speeds for flows past airfoils and explain their difference. Also, it analyzed ...
Preparation and characterization of polyaniline-based magnetic nanocomposites for EMI shielding applications
(2007)
Among the wide applications of polymers, their use to reduce electronic noise is receiving great attention from the scientific and technological communities. This electronic noise is part of electromagnetic interference ...
Optimization and characterization of a magnetocaloric pump using ferrofluids
(2009-05)
This work presents a detailed analysis of a magnetocaloric pump for electronic cooling applications that runs with no moving mechanical parts and that uses ferrofluid (magnetic fluid) as the working fluid. Mn0.5Zn0.5 Fe2O4 ...
Study of bioheat transfer processes for hyperthermia cancer treatment
(2009)
Hyperthermia is a type of cancer treatment in which cancer cells are exposed to high temperatures (in the range 42-45°C). Research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cells by maintaining them in that range ...
Finite element simulations and optimization of Berdut linear motor for a novel elevator system
(2005)
The present project has the objective to model and simulate a special linear motor known as a Berdut linear motor. The motor’s governing equations are derived from Maxwell's equation and Newton's law of motion. These ...
Numerical simulation of the structure of time dependent homogeneous, isotropic turbulence
(2009)
We consider physical situation of homogeneous, isotropic decaying turbulence in an
incompressible fluid for computational study. It is well established that laminar and
turbulent flows of Newtonian fluids are governed ...
Influencia de los parámetros termomecánicos en el efecto de doble memoria de forma del nitinol
(2009)
The two way shape memory effect (TWSME), is described as a reversible change in the form of a shape memory alloy (SMA). The Nitinol alloy is one of the materials that reflect this phenomenon best. This investigation seeks ...
Development of a magnetocaloric pump for applications in heat pipes
(2005)
A device that can pump a fluid with no moving mechanical parts represents a very encouraging alternative since such device would be practically maintenance free. A magnetocaloric pump achieves this purpose by providing a ...
