An investigation into flow and heat transfer of an ultrasonic micro-blower device for electronics cooling applications
(Elsevier, 2016-05-08)
As compact electronics increase in functionality, new electronics cooling approaches must be more effective, and they must be lower in form factor. In this paper, we investigated the cooling performance of a miniature ...
Development of an antagonistically actuated smart joint
(Trans Tech Publications, 2017)
Shape memory alloys with their phase transformation properties; have been broadly implemented in smart structures. In this study, a functional design is presented where two wires actuate antagonistically to achieve motion ...
Discrete-time integral sliding mode control of a smart joint for minimally invasive surgeries
(IEEE, 2016)
In this work, a shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator based joint (smart joint) is controlled using a discrete-time integral sliding mode (DISM) control to guide the motion of an active catheter. Controller is designed on the ...
Influence of heat treatment parameters on the functional behavior and corrosion performance of a shape memory wire actuator
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2020-04)
In the present study, the effect of heat treatment parameters on the functional response, corrosion behavior and microstructural evolution of NiTi shape memory alloys were investigated. Various heat treatment regimes were ...
A new model for predicting the required pressure difference for pressure swirl atomizers
(Europe, Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, ILASS, 2020)
Prior to this study an investigation is made to analyze the accuracies of the semi-empirical correlations of the previous studies by comparing them with a large number of experimental data which is extracted from the works ...
Fluid flow characteristics inside convergent, divergent and straight open-end pressure swirl atomizer
(Europe, Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, ILASS, 2020)
Effects of geometrical parameters on the performance of small-scale open-end pressure swirl atomizers (PSA) have been studied using computational fluid dynamics. The shape of the swirl chamber is the main geometrical feature ...
The effect of pH on particle agglomeration and optical properties of nanoparticle suspensions
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Nanoparticle suspensions (NPSs) are used extensively to improve the thermal efficiency of different engineering systems because of their unique thermo-optical properties. NPSs have also been uses in coatings as they improve ...
An experimental investigation into frost accumulation over vertical finned and unfinned surfaces during impinging air flow
(ASME, 2020)
Frost formation on evaporators negatively affects the cooling performance of refrigerators. It increases the thermal resistance between the refrigerant and air leading to a reduction in the system cooling capacity. In this ...
Effect of coating method on the surface characteristics of niti shape memory alloy
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2020)
Metallic materials including stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, titanium and its alloys, and nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys have been used in biomedical applications since the 1940s due to their favorable ...
Evaluating the mechanical behavior of ARB processed aluminum composites using shear punch testing
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2020)
Multi-layered metal composites have received considerable attention due to their improved mechanical and physical properties. In this study, Al6061/Al2024 composite was processed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) as a ...
