Swimming microrobots are miniature machines which can be designed and fabricatedusing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. They can play a key role in manybiomedical applications, such as controlled drug ...

In this paper, vibration suppression and control of a smart flexible satellitemaneuvering in a circular orbit are studied. The satellite is considered as a rigid hub and twoflexible appendages with PZT (lead zirconate ...

The thermal performances of the heat sink with un-uniform fin width designs with baseplates and carbon nano tube coating were investigated experimentally and numerically. Realistic,manufacturable geometries are considered ...

In the present study, Al-WC (0, 5, 10, 15% weight fractions) nano composite wasdeveloped with WC particles as the reinforcement and Al particles as the base metal. The WC(99.5%, 20μm) is mixed (0,5,10 & 15% in weight ...

In this study, the flow field of impinging jets in rarefied condition and high pressureratios was investigated. Direct Simulation of Monte Carlo (DSMC) method was employed to findthe flow field at two different Knudsen ...

Explosive cladding is a metal cladding technique, wherein restricted detonationimpinges two or more metals to fuse together. On detonation, the chemical energy stored in thechemical explosive is converted instantaneously ...

Three-dimensional laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in smooth hexagonalducts with equal sides have been numerically investigated in the Reynolds number range from 300to 2000. The numerical solutions are obtained ...

In the present study fractal geometry is used to model frost growth around a cooledhorizontal circular cylinder having constant surface temperature. Fractal geometries are veryapplicable in this area because phase changes ...

In the present work, a laminar forced convection flow over a backward-facing step(BFS) in a duct is investigated. This study concerns the practical application of entropy generationanalysis in separated convective flow for ...
