Atherosclerosis is a vascular disease that reduces arterial lumen size through plaque deposition and arterial wall thickening. The pathological complications of atherosclerosis, namely heart disease and stroke, remain the leading cause of mortality in the world. The most common …
The Air Force has expressed interest in improving the efficiency of the Subsonic Aerodynamic Research Laboratory (SARL) wind tunnel. In a previous analysis of losses throughout the tunnel, it was found that approximately thirty percent of pressure losses through the tunnel occur…
In order to design next generation gas turbine combustor and rocket engines, a systematic study of flame structure at high intensity turbulent flow is necessary. The fundamental study of turbulent premixed combustion has been a major research concern for decades. The work is foc…
The study at hand is motivated by the ever growing complexity of turbulent combustion CFD simulations, imposing severe demands on computational resources. Such demands often render the simulation of practical, supersonic reacting flows about complex geometries unaffordable. As s…
Using experimental techniques along with computational fluid dynamics and electrodynamic simulations the performance of the first of three focusing elements in an electrospray macromolecular patterning system was assessed. The performance of this element, the ion funnel, was ana…
The produced water is the highest volume liquid waste stream generated in the petroleum industry. There are different techniques for produced water treatment, such as oil-water separation. United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) set the permitted maximum limit for …
Logan's Turbomachinery: Flowpath Design and Performance Fundamentals, Third Edition is the long-awaited revision of this classic textbook, thoroughly updated by Dr. Bijay Sultanian. While the basic concepts remain constant, turbomachinery design has advanced since the Second Edi…
