Abstract: Periprosthetic bone remodeling is frequently observed after total hip replacement. Reduced bone density increases the implant and bone fracture risk, and a gross loss of bone density challenges fixation in subsequent ...

Abstract: In conventional jet impingement array heat sinks, all the spent coolant is extracted from component edges, resulting in cross-flow interference and nonuniform heat transfer. Jet impingement arrays with interspersed fluid ...

Abstract: In this paper, an optimal harmonic stepped waveform (OHSW) method is proposed to reduce the voltage harmonics available at the output of solar photovoltaic (SPV) fed fifteen level cascaded multilevel inverter (CMLI). This ...

Abstract: Numerous investigations have been conducted to extend adiabatic liquid–gas volumeoffluid (VOF) flow solvers to include condensation phenomena by adding an energy equation and phasechange source terms. Some proposed ...

Abstract: Characterization of wavy film heat and mass transfer is essential for numerous energy-intensive chemical and industrial applications. While surface tension is the underlying cause of film waviness, widely used correlations ...

Abstract: A novel thermal management approach is explored, which uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as a working fluid to manage extreme heat fluxes in electronics cooling applications. In the pseudocritical region, sCO2 has ...

Abstract: The level of congruence between the articulating surfaces of a diarthrodial joint can vary substantially between individuals. Quantifying joint congruence using the most widespread metric, the “congruence index,” is not ...

Abstract: Product dissection has been widely deployed in engineering education as a means to aid in student's understanding of functional product elements, development of new concept ideas, and their preparation for industry. However, ...
