This work is the first one in a two part series devoted to the analysis of the complex nonlinear mechanism of three-dimensional energy channeling emerging in a locally resonant three-dimensional, single-cell unit. The ...

Metal particles are attractive candidate fuels for various propulsion and energy-conversion applications, primarily due to their high energy densities. Micron-sized particles present several drawbacks, such as high ignition ...

Oxidative steam reforming of ethanol is an important process for on board production of hydrogen in fuel cell based auxiliary power systems. Although the process has been extensively studied from a catalyst perspective, ...

Miniaturized redox flow batteries have seen interest in electronic applications because of their potential to simultaneously deliver electric power and remove heat. For these applications, the flow battery has to be ...

The Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) are ruling the commercial wind turbine industry because of its higher efficiencies compared to the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). However, the simple construction, hence low ...

Computational evaluation of the aerodynamic and propulsive characteristics of several annular wing-propeller configurations to assess the effect of propeller on the aerodynamic performance of the annular wing for application ...

The bending and twisting deformations of bio-filaments on intermediate length scales of the order of 5-100 nm play a key role in many biological processes. For instance, the looping behavior of DNA molecules plays a pivotal ...

The demand for refrigeration and cooling systems has been increased rapidly in past few decades. Increase in emissions of harmful refrigerants used in vapor compression cooling systems has been a major reason in the ozone ...
