Abstract: Cooling techniques are extensively employed to protect turbine components from damage due to extremely high operating temperatures. Despite the availability of multiple cooling geometries, the focus is on investigating the ...

Abstract: This work presents the design and optimization of a phase change material (PCM)-based hybrid battery thermal management system (HBTMS). In the first stage, experiments are performed to measure the battery cell temperatures ...

Abstract: This paper presents the application of data-mining techniques for identification and prediction of status patterns in wind turbines. Early prediction of status patterns benefits turbine maintenance ...

Abstract: Far infrared Fizeau interferometry is developed and it is proposed as a tool for warpage measurement of microelectronics devices. The method provides a whole-field map of surface topography with ...

Abstract: Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are well suited for automotive applications compared to other types of fuel cells owing to their faster transient response and lowtemperature operation. Due to rapid change in ...

Abstract: Components of wind turbines are subjected to asymmetric loads caused by variable wind conditions. Carbon brushes are critical components of the wind turbine generator. Adequately maintaining and ...

Abstract: One of the major barriers for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells to be commercially viable for stationary and transportation applications is the durability of membranes undergoing chemical and mechanical degradation ...
