Abstract: Bio-oils were produced within a fast pyrolysis microreactor at 400°C from Pinus taeda (Loblolly pine) with varying residence times. This study has considered six residence times, evaluating ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model assessing the potential of ionic wind as a heat transfer enhancement method for the cooling of grid distribution assets. Distribution scale power routers (13–37 kV, 1–10 MW) ...

Abstract: This paper presents the thermo-economic limits of ambient heat rejection in vertical fin arrays with buoyancy-driven flow enhancement through the chimney effect. A one-dimensional semi-analytical thermo-fluidic model is ...

Abstract: A novel fast pyrolysis microreactor was developed to facilitate control over feedstock dwell time, pyrolysis temperature, and the individual collection of pyrolysis liquid and solid products. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) geometric error measurement (6GEM) system that can be applied to the simultaneous measurement of six geometric error components ...

Abstract: Miniaturized machine tools, referred to as mesoscale machine tools (mMTs) henceforth, have been proposed as a way to manufacture micro/mesoscale mechanical components. A thorough study of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study of ionic wind heat transfer enhancement in internal rectangular channels. Ionic wind is a potential technique to enhance natural convection cooling noise-free and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the method of variable-feedrate intelligent segmentation as an enhanced approach to feedrate optimization in micromilling that overcomes detrimental scale effects in the process ...

Abstract: This study will present an experimental evaluation of the variable-feedrate intelligent segmentation (VFIS) method described by and (2008, “Intelligent Tool-Path Segmentation for Improved Stability ...
