Abstract: Residents in aged care homes constitute a significant proportion of Australia’s population. The elderly population is vulnerable to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Because mobility declines with age, they tend to spend ...

Abstract: Control of compressor tip clearance flows is explored in a linear cascade using three types of fluidic actuators; normal synthetic jet (NSJ; unsteady jet normal to the mean flow with zero net ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was performed on the effect of injection strategy on the combustion, exhaust emission characteristics and the particle size distribution in a small direct-injection ...

Abstract: The Cartesian cut-cell method can be used to represent irregular and complex computational domains with less computational efforts by cutting the grid cells on the boundary surfaces in a background uniform Cartesian mesh. ...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to maximize oxygen diffusion within a three-dimensional scaffold in order to improve cell viability and proliferation. To evaluate the effect of pore architecture on ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was performed on the effect of engine speed, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and boosting intake pressure on the particulate size distribution and exhaust gas ...

Abstract: Identifying thermal characteristics of gas foil bearings (GFBs) provides an insight for successful implementation into high speed oil-free turbomachinery. The paper presents temperature measurements ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel line accuracy assessment technique by measuring the offsets of a typical measured line from the true reference line. These measurements are assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution. Buffers of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and computational study on implementing a dual cavity slashface cooling scheme on the thermal performance for the first stage nozzle guide vane with an axisymmetric, converging endwall. ...
