In the aforesaid paper, some pages are omitted reluctantly and are corrected thus. In this paper, the two-floor facility layout problem with unequal departmental areas in multi-bay environments is addressed. A mixed integer ...

A novel technique is introduced to graphically analyze the runtime behavior of block replacement algorithms used in cache controllers. The new method allows a behavioral comparison of two or more algorithms, previously ...

Two-phase flows in microchannel heat sinks can increase heat removal capabilities in micro electronic devices. Two-phase flows include air-water flow and steam-water flow. An important aspect related to two phase flows in ...

This thesis investigates the effects of biologically inspired leading-edge protuberances on aircraft wings. The study of humpback whales and their flipper performance was the impetus to modifying the leading edge of an ...

The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique is widely used to dynamically characterize metals and is increasingly being used to characterize non-metallic materials such as fiber reinforced polymeric composite materials. ...

Aircraft icing is a recurrent aviation safety concern. In the past eight years alone, eight icing accidents involving business jets and other aircraft have occurred. The accumulation of ice on critical aerodynamic surfaces, ...

This dissertation proposes improvements in the numerical algorithm for the dynamics of flows that involve discontinuities and broadband fluctuations simultaneously. These two flow features suggest numerical strategies of ...

Computational Fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to evaluate the heat transfer performance during the freezing process in cryotherapy. Cryoprobes are generally used for the treatment of diseased tissue in cryotherapy. ...

The effect of hemodynamics on cardiovascular disease (CVD) is very important since CVD is the number one killer nationwide and around the globe. Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called arteriosclerosis, is a common ...

Pressure fluctuations associated with turbulent boundary layer have been a prominent issue over the past few decades. In order to simulate pressure fluctuations beneath a turbulent boundary layer, a numerical investigation ...
