Dielectric Strength and Thermal Conductivity of Mineral Oil based Nanofluids

In many applications of high voltage engineering, electrical and thermal stresses increase due to an ongoing decrease of product dimensions. In particular, the electrical industry is interested in applying nanofluids in transformers to be able to decrease transformer size and weight. The requirement for nanofluids is to enhance the electrical...

Dust storm emission inversion using data assimilation

Severe dust storms present great threats to the environment, property and human health over the areas in the downwind of arid regions. Several dynamical dust models have been developed to predict the dust concentrations in the atmosphere. Currently, the accuracy of these models is limited mainly due to the imperfect modeling of dust emissions....

Modeling of atomic layer deposition on nanoparticle agglomerates

Nanoparticles are increasingly applied in a range of fields, such as electronics, catalysis, energy and medicine, due to their small sizes and consequent high surface-volume ratio. In many applications, it is attractive to coat the nanoparticles with a layer of different materials in order to gain new functionalities. For instance, a coated...

Characterization and Mitigation of Speckle Noise in Laser Doppler Vibrometer on Moving Platforms (LDVom)

Laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is a vibration-detecting instrument for noncontact and non-destructive measurement. It is superior to classic contact transducers in terms of the wide frequency range and high measurement resolution. LDV on moving platforms (LDVom) is one of the LDV measurement technology to one-way scan the vibrating surface, so...
