Evaluating velocity and temperature fields for Ranque Hilsch vortex tube using numerical simulation
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this study, a three-dimensional numerical investigation is carried out to study the flow field inside a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT) model. Flow parameters such as velocity, temperature, and pressure are plotted at ...
Role of Active Morphing in the Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings in Formation Flight
(MDPI, 2021)
Migratory birds have the ability to save energy during flight by arranging themselves in a V-formation. This arrangement enables an increase in the overall efficiency of the group because the wake vortices shed by each of ...
Development of a Flexible Framework Multi-Design Optimization Scheme for a Hand Launched Fuel Cell-Powered UAV
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper presents different methods for the design of a hand-launchable, fixed wing, fuel cell-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to maximize flight endurance during steady level flight missions. The proposed design ...
Mechanical Properties of Strengthening 5083-H111 Aluminum Alloy Plates at Elevated Temperatures
(MDPI, 2021)
The use of aluminum alloys for external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been capturing research interest. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions can severely impact the strengthening efficiency. ...
Task-Based Design Approach: Development of a Planar Cable-Driven Parallel Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper deals with the optimal design of a planar cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR), with three degrees of freedom, intended for assisting the patient’s affected upper limb along a prescribed movement. A Qualisys motion ...
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), green alternatives to petroleum-based plastics: a review
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
In spite of the fact that petroleum-based plastics are convenient in terms of fulfilling the performance requirements of many applications, they contribute significantly to a number of ecological and environmental problems. ...
Design and Comparison Analysis of Various Flow Configurations in Bipolar Plates via Numerical Simulation
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2021)
Bipolar plates play a major role in the overall performance of fuel cells, hence their proper design and optimization are essential. In this regard, pressure drop across bipolar plates has a major impact on the efficiency. ...
