An experimental study was conducted to investigate the performance of wind turbines sited over hilly terrains in order to elucidate the underlying physics to explore/optimize design of wind turbines sitting over complex terrains for higher power yield and better durability. The experiments were conducted in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel with wind turbines sited over a two-dimensiona...

in this paper, the methodology of aircraft air distribution system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. to achieve that, ducting pressure loss and air flow throw gaspers calculations has been done for cabin ducts in according to exact location of individual air distribution system in the cabin. the length of gasper air flow was compared with the distance between gasper outlet and...

What is probably the largest single closed loop ground-coupled water loop heat pump system has been installed and been operational since January 1994 at Richard Stockton College. The energy savings, heat flow into and out of the closed loop well field, well field temperature and aquifer flow, as well as the microbiology of the aquifers and geochemistry are all being monitored. Computer simulati...

Artificial heart devices are required to satisfy high functionality and bio-compatibility demands for successful use. Although the experimental studies play an important role in the design of artificial heart devices, they can provide flow characteristics for limited regions of the flow field. Detailed knowledge of the flow quantities can help the design engineer to improve the artificial heart...

Field-flow fractionation (FFF) is an analytical technique particularly suitable for the separation, isolation, and characterization of macromolecules and micrometer- or submicrometer-sized particles. This chromatographic-like methodology can modulate the retention of micron-sized species according to an elution mode described to date as "steric hyperlayer". In such a model, differences in sampl...
