Lithium-ion batteries are widely used for battery electric (all-electric) vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) due to their high energy and power density. An battery thermal management system (BTMS) is crucial for the performance, lifetime, and safety of lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, a novel design of BTMS based on aluminum minichannel tubes is developed and applied on a si...

Aluminum alloys are considered a lot in the automotive and aerospace industry because of their high strength to weight ratio. In this manuscript, the gas forming process of aluminum AA6063 tubes at high temperatures up to 500°C is investigated, through experimental and numerical tests. Therefore, an experimental setup is prepared and so, tube specimens are formed in a die with square cross sect...

Abstract Production of high-quality aluminum products requires an extensive melt treatment process, even more so with the increasing focus on recycling and sustainability. Filtration is a commonly used process segment for removal non-metallic inclusions in aluminum, ceramic foam filters (CFFs) are often as filtration media. In present study, chemical stability phosphate-bonded Al 2 O 3 -based C...

dotracheal tube and are composed of inspiratory and expiratory corrugated limbs. The two breathing tubes carry respiratory gases with volatile anesthetics to and from patients during general anesthesia. Although longer corrugated breathing tubes allow the anesthesia machine to be located farther from the patients, they are so long and flexible that they tend to hang down below the operating tab...

Sub-micron sized airborne particulate matter (PM) is not collected well on regular quartz or glass fiber filter papers. We used a micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI) to fractionate PM into six size fractions and deposit it on specially designed high purity thin aluminum disks. The MOUDI separated PM into fractions 56-100 nm, 100-180 nm, 180-320 nm, 320-560 nm, 560-1000 nm, and 1000-1...

Composite metal foams (CMFs) are hybrid structures, which usually produced from separate parts, and not in one step as functional, structural elements. Functional CMFs characterized by high strength, stiffness, extreme energy absorbing properties compared with conventional metallic foams, allow them to be used load-bearing Test specimens made AlMgSi0.5 tubes the wall thickness of 5 mm. AlSi12 c...

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are restorative materials, which clinical use has increased significantly during the last decade. The aim of the present study was to analyze the chemical constitution and surface morphology of four glass ionomer cements: Maxxion R, VitroFill, Vidrion R and Vitremer. Twelve polyethylene tubes with an internal diameter of 3 and 3 mm in length were prepared, filled an...

To maximize the controllable energy absorption of corrugation troughs as observed in the single sided corrugated (SSC) tube, we proposed and tested a new structure design, i.e., double-sided corrugated (DSC) tube made of Al 6060-T6 aluminum alloy or CF1263 carbon/epoxy composite. Finite element models were developed to test the mechanical advantage of the DSC tube in comparison with both SSC an...
