Finite Element solution for the multi-region bio-heat Equation is present to model magnetic fluid hyperthermia. This study solves the Penne's two dimensional bio-heat equation using finite element method and develops the ...
On-chip Liquid-liquid Extraction And Separation Using Digital Microfluidics
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
In this thesis, on-chip liquid-liquid microextraction and separation using electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) digital microfluidics was demonstrated by considering room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) and DI water as two ...
Improving Receiver Station-keeping In Aerial Refueling By Formulating Tanker Motion As Disturbance
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-03-03)
During aerial refueling operations, the receiver aircraft should hold position within a “refueling box” to maintain the boom-receptacle connection while the tanker aircraft flies in a racetrack maneuver. Prior research ...
Modeling And Simulation Of The Flight Dynamics Of Morphing Wing Aircraft
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Aircraft with variable wing geometry (morphable wings) are of considerable interest, not only for mission-specific optimization, but for enhanced maneuverability as well. In the nascent field of mini- or micro-Unmanned ...
Effect Of Friction On The Zel'dovich Von Neumann Doring To Chapman Jouguet Transition
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Detonation theory proposes Chapman-Jouguet state of equilibrium due to the sonic speed of the products relative to the wave. Experimental observations however indicated the existence of a sub-Chapman-Jouguet state. The ...
