The magnetic field gradient produced by an electromagnet gripper head depends on its design. Stochastic Methods offer certain robustness to the design optimization process. In this paper, Improved Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (IDPSO) searching technique is applied to the shape ... En savoir plus

The temperature distributions inside two packs (in-line and staggered) made of large cylindrical lithium iron phosphate cells (of 18 Ah nominal capacity) are analysed in this paper during a 90 A constant discharge current. The analysis of the battery packs temperature distributions is ... En savoir plus

This paper presents the investigation into the phenomena during batch reactor vessel mixing comparing agitation equipment; the Rushton turbine and the Marine propeller; in the production of bioethanol by yeast fermentation. The key factors addressed in selecting equipment were fluid ... En savoir plus

MEMS is the leading technology which combines both electronic and mechanical devices on a single microchip. Tracing the position of the object is an important problem in engineering. This can be addressed by Gyroscopes. These sensors are used to find orientation and angular velocity. ... En savoir plus

Column Loudspeakers employ multiple drivers to get close to a radiating line source. A line source gives several acoustic advantages versus a point source, especially in highly reverberant environments. This property particularly has made column loudspeakers the preferred solution in ... En savoir plus

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a kind of high-temperature fuel cell which directly converts the chemical energy of the fuel into the electrical energy. The high efficiency and fuel flexibility of the SOFC has widened its applications in the field of energy. In the present study, a 3-D ... En savoir plus

In this work, the theoretical study for the realization of waveguiding layer acoustic waves devices based on AlN/IDT/ZnO/Silicon structure using the modeling software COMSOL Multiphysics (2D) is presented. The effect of thicknesses of AlN and ZnO thin films on the evolution of frequency ... En savoir plus

Manufacturing and finishing of components with complex internal features is a significant challenge. Industrial sectors like automotive industry, aeronautics or medical technology require these internal features with highest precision and repeatability. Such components are often machined ...

While the processes taking place in a bubble reactor are simple to describe in a few sentences it is much more difficult to give a physical description that is useful for engineering purposes. A better understanding of a cluster of bubbles dissolving in a liquid where the species ... En savoir plus

INVELOX is an innovative wind power generation system as shown in Figure 1. It is comprised of a wind capturing system that accelerates and delivers high kinetic energy wind to a power conversion system placed in the Venturi section of the INVELOX. The objective of this project is to ... En savoir plus
