This paper discusses the modal global stability analysis of the boundary layer formed over a circular cylinder subjected to oblique non-uniform suction and injection. The linearized stability equations governing the system ...

The utilisation of flaky aluminium as an additive in the composite matrix has shown the ability to overcome the brittle nature encountered in epoxy resins. The additive increases the overall composite toughness without ...

Waste heat capture from systems such as photovoltaics (PV) and refrigerators can lower their energy efficiency by increasing their operating temperature. In this study, we evaluate the potential of final-effect evaporative ...

Indirect evaporative coolers (IEC) enable low-energy cooling of air without humidification. While a conventional IEC is limited to cooling incoming air down to its wet-bulb temperature, a regenerative IEC (M−cycle) can ...

Recently, meshless methods have become popular in numerically solving partial differential equations and have been employed to solve equations governing fluid flows, heat transfer, and species transport. In the present ...

This work brings forward several interesting facts about system properties of LTI discrete-time systems like output controllability, state controllability and state observability, trackability and input and state observability. ...

Remediation of industrial textile effluent using both the anodic and cathodic chambers of an algae-assisted microbial fuel cell (AMFC) is demonstrated and evaluated in this study. A low-cost AMFC is developed using clayware ...

Active cooling is quickly becoming a necessity in hot-dry climates prevailing across large sections of the world, where the equivalent solar temperature can rise above 70 °C in the summer. The cooling demand, within the ...

A modal global stability analysis is addressed here for the boundary layer (BL) flow across a plate under the influence of wall-normal non-uniform suction and injection. For non-uniform wall-normal profiles of suction and ...
