Conceptual Design for Lower-Energy Primary Aluminum

Codification conceptual framework of education for students in architecture Primary design studios: A qualitative content analysis

Coordination of education categories and activities of novice students in architectural primary design studios is indispensable and can lead to the designing ability development and transition towards professionalism and proficiency. The objective is a conceptual framework for architectural education based on the categories of architectural education and novice studentschr('39') activities in a...

Aluminum Oxide Nanofluid Energy Transfer

Nanofluid is a new class of heat transfer fluids engineered by dispersing metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles with a typical size of less than 100 nm in the conventional heat transfer fluids.This article aims to investigate the overall and convection heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number of Al2O3-water nanofluid flowing in a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger under turbulent flow (...

Conceptual Design for Assembly

This paper presents an approach to support computer-aided conceptual design of mechatronic assemblies in a collaborative, multi-user environment. We describe a system, Conceptual Understanding and Prototyping (CUP), that allows a team of design engineers, collaborating over the Internet, to develop a high-level structure-function-behavior (S-B-F) description of an assembly in a VRML-based virtu...
