Influence of changing casing groove parameters on the performance of centrifugal compressors near stall condition
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Article)
The casing treatment is an effective method for increasing the stall margin of compressors and enhancing the flow distribution at the blades tip. The present numerical study focuses on making an optimization of the casing ...
Comparisons of standby and parallel systems in reliability, replacement, scheduling and application
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper compares the standby and parallel systems through the following analyses: reliability measures such as reliabilities, mean times to failure, and failure rates are first compared. These comparisons are reconsidered ...
A PSO approach for robust aircraft routing
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to proactively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ...
Experimental investigation of the laminar flame speeds of GTL fuel blends
(
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work investigates the laminar flame speed of GTL fuel and its 50%-50% blend with conventional diesel, in a cylindrical bomb capable of measuring laminar flame speed, SN, at different initial temperatures and equivalence ...
Autism in the Gulf States: Why social robotics is the way forward
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we assess the current situation in the Gulf States with respect to autism awareness and diagnostic facilities, and emphasize the need for epidemiology studies in light of prevalence statistics available for ...
Investigation of optimal charging locations for electric vehicles in Istanbul
(
IEOM Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Electric vehicles have a great potential to decrease the adverse effects of transportation, especially in metropolitan cities. On the other hand, adoption of the electric vehicles requires supporting infrastructure such ...
Nonlinear modeling and dynamic analysis of bioengineering hyper-elastic tubes based on different material models
(
Springer
, 2019 , Article)
In this research, nonlinear vibrations of a hyper-elastic tube accounting for large deflection and moderate rotation have been examined. The hyper-elastic tube is assumed to be surrounded by a nonlinear hardening elastic ...
Optimal design of a district cooling grid: structure, technology integration, and operation
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The concept of a district cooling grid that allows the integration of several cooling technologies with different availability and supply patterns is introduced. An integrated multi-period optimization model for a district ...
Impact of first-year seminar on student engagement, awareness, and general attitudes toward higher education
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: This study intends to add to the existing body of literature on the impact of a newly implemented first year seminar in the College of Law and Business. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects the ...
Engineered Biomaterials to Enhance Stem Cell-Based Cardiac Tissue Engineering and Therapy
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Since adult cardiac cells are limited in their proliferation, cardiac tissue with dead or damaged cardiac cells downstream of the occluded vessel does not ...
