Numerical Simulations of Boiling in Dielectric Fluid Immersion Cooling Scenarios of High Power Electronics
(2014-04-28)
As server technologies have progressed, the traditional methods of blade level cooling have become very costly. Up to this point, most server units have been cooled through forced air convection; a process that requires ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Dry Sliding Asperities to Study Friction and Frictional Energy Dissipation
(2014-03-31)
Fundamental friction characteristics such as the friction coefficient, wear, adhesion, and dissipation of energy require an accurate understanding of how the surfaces in contact interact on nano or atomic scale. At nano ...
Development of a Multi-mode Adaptive Controller and Investigation of Gain Variations with Speed and Balance Changes
(2014-03-20)
Magnetic bearings offer a number of advantages over conventional rolling element bearings. Magnetic bearings provide support for rotating systems through magnetic levitation rather than by mechanical contact, nearly ...
Mechanical Characterization of the Braided Composite Yarn and Bond Strength Evaluation of the Joints of the Open-Architecture Composite Structure (O-ACS)
(2014-07-11)
Open-architecture composite structures (O-ACS) can be seen as structures, optimized for weight, meant to be used as beams or columns, in applications where the stiffness to weight ratio of the structure governs the design. ...
Effect of the chain on thermal conductivity and thermal boundary conductance of long chain n-alkanes using molecular dynamics and transient plane source techniques
(2014-07-02)
The effect of the length of the long chain n-alkane molecules on the nanoscale thermal transport within various phases of n-alkanes is investigated. The thermal conductivity of the n-alkanes is determined using both molecular ...
Molecular-Level Modeling of Thermal Transport Mechanisms within Carbon Nanotube/Graphene-based Nanostructure-enhanced Phase Change Materials
(2014-07-29)
The mechanisms of nanoscale thermal transport within nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids) and nanostructure-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM) are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
To begin, ...
Submerged Reverse Osmosis Desalination
(2014-08-01)
Over the past three decades, advances is reverse osmosis technology have led
to dramatic increases in the number and capacities of reverse osmosis desalination
plants. One key component in all efficient traditional reverse ...
Innovations in Engineering Curriculum and Teaching: A Research-Based Study
(2014-12-15)
Universities have progressively improved in regards to the usage of technology in teaching-learning methodologies. Tools like videoconferences, chats and blogs, podcasting, webcasting and webinars, video streaming, and ...
Bipedal Impact with Granular Matter
(2014-11-06)
Impact with granular matter has been of great interest to researchers for decades, mainly because the material, as a conglomeration of discrete solids, behaves as a fluid until a solid like behavior becomes established. ...
Development of a reduced order electrochemical and thermal model for Lithium battery with blended cathode
(2014-12-12)
Accurate and fast estimation of state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) during operations plays a pivotal role in prevention of overcharge or undercharge and accurately monitoring the state of cell degradation, ...
