Background: Infrared (IR) sensors are useful tools for detecting distance and proximity.
However, these sensors are not good at detecting edges of an area, therefore when used in …

A smoke wire technique was developed in a wind tunnel to visualize a drag-driven turbine
flow structure for hydrokinetic application. A Nichrome wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm was …

Lab based experimental procedure requires standardized instrument for data acquisition
and analysis in which is costly. However, self-made and well calibrated instrument is cost …

This dissertation presents the overall heat transfer performance of a louvered fin-and-tube
heater core and a newly developed “lattice porous” heater core, each operating under …

The identification and characterisation of coherent structures in turbulent flows have been an
active area of research for decades. Coherent structures have a strong association with the …

Aerodynamic efficiency in competition vehicles is considered one of the most important
