Pore-scale modelling of electrochemically reactive flow
(2022)Electrochemistry, a field revolving around charge transport, is omnipresent in our every-day life. It is found in batteries, water treatment, medicine, and food processing, to name a few. Water dissolves more substances ... -
Simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a non-traditional vibration absorber
(2017)The dynamic vibration absorber, or tuned mass damper, has been one of the most commonly used passive vibration control devices over the past hundred years. With an optimally designed vibration absorber, significant vibration ... -
A tunable multi-stable piezoelectric vibration energy harvester
(2021)The vibration energy harvester is intended to convert ambient environmental energy into electrical energy. It has great potential to be an alternative to the conventional battery in low-power electric devices. A traditional ... -
Vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a variant nonlinear energy sink
(2018)Vibration control is aimed to suppress or eliminate unwanted vibration to ensure proper operation of machines. On the other hand, energy harvesting intends to scavenge energy from ambient vibrations to power electronical ... -
Wind load evaluation on photovoltaic modules with flow deflector
(2020)The wind load on a photovoltaic system and the effects of adding a flow deflector around the panel are studied. The deflector is a reinforce measurement aiming to reduce the aerodynamic wind loads over the PV system, ... -
Year-round biodiesel use strategy in diesel engines in Canadian adverse cold weather conditions
(2017)The effects of climate change that have been seen at an unprecedented scale over last decade or so, have sparked intensive efforts toward the identification and development of clean, environmentally compatible, and renewable ...
