The catalytic reforming of diesel presents several challenges, including soot formation and rapid catalyst deactivation. To address this, we’ve explored non-catalytic autothermal reforming in our preliminary experiments ...

Carbon fiber-based thermosets, or thermoplastic composites, used in automotive and aerospace industry are prone to environmental degradation and often require a protective coating. These composites typically have low surface ...

We consider the piecewise linear (PWL) vibrations in a cracked Rayleigh beam. The change in local stiffness at the crack site due to a mode-1 crack is introduced through a PWL flexural spring such that the local stiffness ...

Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) is widely recognized for its use in orthopaedic and dental implants due to its exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, a plain Ti6Al4V surface may not be sufficient to ...

Recent advancements in applications such as data centers, electric vehicles, and avionics have led to a significant increase in heat dissipation rates. Two-phase thermal management systems (TMSs) including heat pipes, ...

An experimental study is conducted to investigate the effects of particle size and packing density on the combustion of nickel-aluminum pellets. The particle sizes of Al and Ni are varied in the range of 1–25 µm, and the ...

While holding significant potential to reduce cooling energy requirements in buildings, the incorporation of phase-change materials in building envelopes requires information regarding their diurnal and seasonal behaviour ...

Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the spherical coordinates are solved using a pseudo-spectral method to simulate the problem of spherical Couette flow. The flow is investigated for a narrow gap ratio with only the ...

The ankle joint plays a crucial role in walking by providing positive power to propel the body forward. Dynamic changes occur throughout the gait cycle, with the ankle storing energy during the stance phase and releasing ...
