One of the current technologies widely used to extract the earth’s renewable energy is a solar module, which harnesses energy from the sun; however, its operating conditions and energy harnessing capacities vary greatly ...

Formation flying is a new paradigm in space mission design, aimed at replacing large satellites with multiple small satellites. Some of the proposed benefits of formation flying satellites are: (i) Reduced mission costs ...

Recently, researchers have reported a unique solid state incandescent light emitting device (SSI-LED) made from a simple MOS capacitor with an amorphous high-k gate dielectric thin film deposited on the p-type Si substrate. ...

Modelling fibrous networks is crucial to understand the mechanics of soft materials like ligaments, connective tissues, alveolus sac and nonwoven fabrics. Simulation of these fibrous networks has been typical restricted ...

Studies on the combustion of coal and sulphur capture by limestone/lime particles are carried out analytically and verified with the experimental data reported elsewhere. Extensive experimental data are available for small ...

In the Arctic environment, fluid temperature in pipeline can drop below the freezing point of water, which causes wax and ice to form on pipeline surface. Solid formation on pipeline surface can lead to flow assurance and ...

There has been a rising demand for natural gas across the World. In many countries, this demand is being satisfied through an increasing number of marine LNG Carrier (LNGC) deliveries and hence there is a safety requirement ...

This dissertation introduces two advancements in the treatment of random components within insect pest population models. Part one of the dissertation develops a model for predicting the mean and variance of a population ...

The present paper describes the theory behind the “plume rise from warehouse fires model” as implemented in the software package EFFECTS. This model simulates the rising of buoyant plumes due to the density difference ...
