Conceptual design of a fully passive transfemoral prosthesis to facilitate energy-efficient gait
(IEEE, 2018-12)
In this paper, we present the working principle and conceptual design toward the realization of a fully-passive transfemoral prosthesis that mimics the energetics of the natural human gait. The fundamental property of the ...
Challenges for radiative transfer 1: towards the effective solution of conjugate heat transfer problems
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
This paper lists crucial challenges in radiative transfer with the objective of gathering information on improving and choosing methods for solving conjugate heat transfer problems. Developments in computational and ...
Effect of electrostatic stabilization on thermal radiation transfer in nanosuspensions: Photo-thermal energy conversion applications
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Solar thermal collectors are among the most important photo-thermal energy conversion systems. Effectiveness of these systems is measured by the ability of working fluid to absorb incident radiative energy. Although ...
Radiative energy and exergy analyses of spectrally-selective surfaces for CSP systems
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2018)
This work presents a new methodology for calculations of spectral radiative energy and radiative exergy to evaluate the performances of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. Spectral radiative properties and the operating ...
Characterization of turbulence generated by an active grid with individually controllable paddles
(Springer, 2018)
An active grid with individually controllable paddles was constructed to generate strong turbulence (Reλ>200). Measurements of turbulence quantities using the hot-wire technique were conducted in a wind tunnel along the ...
Sliding mode control of an electromechanical solenoid actuator for soft landing
(IEEE, 2018-10-08)
Electromechanical solenoid actuators are widely used in industrial applications that require fast and linear motion. High velocities can be achieved in small stroke lengths; in turn the motion results with high-velocity ...
Predicting the performance of pressure-swirl atomizers
(Begell House Inc., 2018)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the semiempirical correlations that are found in the literature by comparing them with all of the applicable experimental data that are also taken from the literature. Presentation ...
Effect of structural adhesives in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) characteristics of vehicle body design
(International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV, 2018)
Application of structural adhesives has received an increased interest in automotive industry due to their attractive characteristics as an alternative to other lightweight strategies. There are various modeling methods ...
A prelude to the fundamentals and applications of radiation transfer
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Radiation transfer is one of the three pillars of heat transfer processes, along with conduction and convection. It is essential for any high-temperature industrial process taking place in combustion chambers, flames and ...
Numerical and experimental analysis of impinging synthetic jets for cooling a point-like heat source
(ASME, 2018-05-01)
High power light emitting diodes (LEDs) being used for low and high beam in automotive lighting need active cooling of their heat sinks by radial or axial fans. But the moving elements of the fan cause abrasion, noise, and ...
