Heat wheels and energy wheels are widely used in ventilation systems to recovery sensible and latent energy, and consequently, reduce the energy required to condition outdoor ventilation air for buildings. This Ph.D. thesis ...

Transport of oil and gas in various service environments, presents an enormous challenge. Pipelines are used for transportation of those natural resources. The failure of the pipeline is always associated with serious ...

Titanium and its alloys are widely used for industrial applications. However, extended use of titanium in some applications has been severely limited due to its poor surface properties. Diamond-like carbon (DLC), which is ...

In the last two decades many microfluidic devices have been developed in order to provide better and more reliable tools for biological assays and analysis. Microfluidic technology has proven its functionality and advantages ...

In the present research study, Tantalum (Ta) and Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) thin films were deposited on a biomedical Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy (CoCrMo alloy) and investigated to improve the surface functionality of ...

The demand for energy significantly increases with increasing of world population and industrial activity in developing countries. Nuclear energy can be considered to make an important contribution to future demands for ...

Turbulent gas-solid flows are encountered in many industrial processes including pneumatic transport of granular materials such as pulverized coal, circulating fluidized beds and dust and particle-exhaust pollution control ...

Seed depth consistency is a critical performance metric of agricultural seeding equipment. To improve productivity, equipment manufacturers have historically focused on increasing the equipment working width of hoe-opener ...

In recent years, a great deal of interest has been oriented towards hydraulic systems which are energy efficient, responsive (tracking), and accurate. The traditional approach to achieving responsive and accurate positioning ...

Flexible link manipulators (FLM) are well-known for their light mass and small energy consumption compared to rigid link manipulators (RLM). These advantages of FLM are even of greater importance in applications where ...
