Continuous wave photoacoustics has been under investigation for more than a decade. Matched-filtering and pulse compression techniques, which use a chirp waveform as input light source, have been implemented into this ...

This paper presents an online tuning rule-based adaptive control algorithm to control DC motor speed. For this, a method of recursive least squares with forgetting was proposed to approximate the relation between single ...

In this industry-academia collaboration, a multi-platform hybrid numerical simulation was performed to assess the effectiveness of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) to be installed in a high-rise condominium located in Downtown ...

In this paper we study the thermal performance of a 5 kW rectifier module experimentally and numerically, with the aim of changing the cooling methodology from an active cooled (fan cooled) to a passively cooled system. ...

In the present work, combined cycle power generation configuration studies with natural gas as a primary fuel. Steam is injected in main combustion chamber and reheat combustion chamber individually and simultaneously to ...

This research work presents the results of a comparative study conducted to compare the coatings properties of WC-10Co-4Cr coats produced by two different Oxy-fuel coating process; high velocity oxy-gas fuel (HVOF) and ...

Shimmy damper is a passive solution for undesirable oscillations in landing gears. Although it mitigates shimmy to an allowable degree, it can introduce weight, cost, and reliability penalties especially when retrofitted ...

Solidification of water in closed piping systems is a common phenomenon in both the industrial and residential sectors. In some cases, the resulting damage may be both costly and dangerous and thus warrants attention. ...

Crude oil spill is a significant threat to marine wildlife and human health. Understanding the interaction of oil-degrading bacteria at aqueous-oil interfaces at submillimeter scale is crucial to biodegradation and ...

This paper presents a manufacturing process for extrusion assisted foam production with a physical blowing agent (PBA) for Rapid Rotational Foam Molding. A completely new experimental setup was designed to identify, conceive, ...
