Lift Off Behavior of Micro and Nanoparticles in Contact With a Flat Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The suspension of small particles from flat surfaces is recognized as a source of pollution and a potential hazard to exposed humans. The interaction of air flow over a particle in contact with a flat surface was studied. ...
Evaluation of System Evolvability Based on Usable Excess
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Complex, largescale engineered systems are an integral part of modern society. The cost of these systems is often high, while their ability to react to emergent requirements can be low. This paper proposes evolvability, ...
Visualization in the Contact Line Region of an Evaporating Nanofluid Drop
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photogallery Entry 13
A rebounding droplet impacting on a static droplet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to experimentally examine rebounding characteristics of a freefall droplet which impacts on a static droplet with a sphericalcap shape in a low Weber number range. Two wellaligned highspeed cameras were ...
Over-Design Versus Redesign as a Response to Future Requirements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Though little research has been done in the field of over-design as a product development strategy, an over-design approach can help products avoid the issue of premature obsolescence. This paper compares over-design to ...
Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging: A Technique to Reveal the Dropwise Condensation Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To understand the physics behind dropwise condensation, a microscopy technique must be able to measure a sub-nanometer film at a high temporal resolution (>1,000 FPS). In this work, automated Surface Plasmon Resonance ...
High Speed SPR Visualization of Frost Propagation Inside a Subcooled Water Droplet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging microscopy coupled to a high-speed camera is used to visualize the frost propagation inside a subcooled liquid droplet. The SPR experimental setup consists of a 50 nm thick gold-coated ...
Neutron Radiography of Condensation and Evaporation of Hydrogen in a Cryogenic Condition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The condensation and evaporation of hydrogen under cryogenic conditions is visualized by using neutron imaging at the BT2 Beam Facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The condensation and ...
High Speed Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Reflectance Imaging of Drop Coalescence during Condensation and Evaporation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Drop condensation and coalescence is visualized using highspeed Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) reflectance microscopy. SPR microscopy is a labelfree technique that can characterize thin films (less than 1آµm) by detecting ...
Examining Liquid Hydrogen Wettability Using Neutron Imaging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The control of propellant boiloff is essential in longterm space missions. However, a clear understanding of propellant cryogenic condensation/evaporation in microgravity is lacking. One of the key factors in designing ...
