A superconducting millimetre switch with multiple nano-bridges
(
International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we describe the design of a planar superconducting on/off switch comprising a high normal resistance nano-bridge deposited across a slotline transmission line. We present preliminary experimental results ...
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed methane-air flames for low-emission engines
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed flames has been investigated. Two flow configurations have been considered in this study; counter-flow and bluff-body flames. Different ...
