Abstract: The thermal transport to drops that roll or slide down heated superhydrophobic surfaces is explored. High-speed infrared imaging is performed to provide time-resolved measurement of the heat transfer to the drop. Data are ...

Abstract: A stability control device (SCD) is a passive inlet cover treatment that can be applied to high suction performance inducers. Significant improvements in stability have been observed when an inducer operates with an SCD, ...

Abstract: Abstract. Radial pumps and compressors are used in various engineering applications, including rocket turbopumps, automotive turbochargers, and refrigeration systems. Several physical effects, including viscous losses, ...

Abstract: Inducers are used as a first stage in pumps to minimize cavitation and allow the pump to operate at lower inlet head conditions. Inlet flow recirculation or backflow in the inducer occurs at low flow conditions and can ...

Abstract: Microfluidic-based techniques have been shown to address limitations of reconfigurable radio frequency (RF) antennas and filters in efficiency, power handling capability, cost, and frequency tuning. However, the current ...

Abstract: Abstract. Water jet impingement is an effective method of rapidly cooling a surface, but heat transfer from the surface is highly dependent on the surface condition and properties. Here, the impact of a superhydrophobic ...
