Experimental and Numerical Investigation of an Evaporating Meniscus in a Capillary Slot : Microscale and Pore Scale Studies
(2018-08-09)
An evaporating meniscus formed by a wetting °uid in a heated capillary slot with capillary driven °flow is numerically and experimentally investigated at the microscale and pore scale.
In the microscale analysis, the ...
Force Measurements On Rigid And Flexible Oscillating Foils
(2013-10-04)
In the present work, we experimentally study thrust generation from sinusoidally pitched rigid and flexible foils immersed in a uniform flow. The flexible foils are made by attaching a flexible flap of known flexural ...
Thermal Performance of Various Roof Elements Under Different Weather Conditions
(2018-05-14)
Beside the point of whether the country is developed or underdeveloped, energy crisis is a common scene all over the world. In order to balance energy supply and demand, either one has to increase the supply or decrease ...
Externally Induced Instabilities in Contactless Functional Droplets
Many natural and technological processes involve spray or cluster of droplets which are subjected to chaotic external environment. Study of the behavior of a single droplet is therefore crucial to understand the dynamics ...
Design, Analysis, Simulation and Experimentation of a Flexible Spine Quadruped
Quadrupeds robots can move on uneven and rough terrain where mobile robots cannot venture. Al-though bipeds have more capabilities, they are inherently unstable and difficult to control. Most quadrupeds today are built ...
A Haptic Simulator for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy : Design Development and Experiments
(2018-09-04)
Endoscopy is an involved clinical practice requiring considerable skill in performing the procedure. Virtual reality together with haptics offers immersive, flexible, and cost-effective platform for training in endoscopic ...
Evaporation and Buckling Dynamics of Sessile Droplets Resting on Hydrophobic Substrates
(2018-09-04)
Droplet evaporation is ubiquitous to multitude of applications such as microfluidics, surface patterning and ink-jet printing. In many of the process like food processing tiny concentrations of suspended particles may alter ...
Hyaluronic Acid Based Biodegradable Polyelectrolyte Nanocapsules and Modified Protein Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Anticancer Agents
(2018-08-02)
Targeted delivery aids in minimizing most of the drug-originated systemic toxic effects as well as improving the pharmacokinetic properties of anticancer therapeutics. Tumor targeting using hyaluronic acid (HA) as the ...
Thermodynamics of Distributed Solar Thermal Power Systems with Storage
(2018-08-11)
Distributed power generation through renewable sources of energy has the potential of meeting the challenge of providing electricity access to the off-grid population, estimated to be around 1.2 billion residing across the ...
In-Situ Polymer Derived Nano Particle Metal Matrix Composites Developed by Friction Stir Processing
(2018-08-10)
Ceramic metal matrix composites (CMMCs) are materials generally created by mixing of hard ceramic particles in a metal matrix. They were expected to combine the ductility and toughness of the metal with the high strength ...
