Abstract: In this work, the transmission loss of a Helmholtz resonator is maximized (optimized) by allowing the resonator end plate thickness to vary for two cases: (1) a nonoptimized baseline resonator and (2) a resonator with a ...

Abstract: This paper describes a design process that produces a small volume Helmholtz resonator capable of achieving high transmission loss across a desired frequency range. A multiobjective optimization formulation was used to ...

Abstract: A Helmholtz resonator with a uniform, flexible end plate is studied in this work. This work shows that the flexible plate modifies the frequency response characteristics of the resonator, providing multiple distinct resonant ...

Abstract: In this paper, a continuous tracking strategy for the heliostat in the James S. Markiewicz Concentrated Solar Energy Research Facility at Valparaiso University is developed. A model of the nonlinear dynamics of the heliostat ...

Abstract: The rate of heat transfer by natural convection between the wall and electrolyte of an electrolytic cell that produces magnesium (Mg) from magnesium oxide (MgO) at temperatures near 1000 °C in a molten fluoride salt ...
