Development Of A Quantum Dot Mediated Thermometry For Minimally Invasive Thermal Therapy
(Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Thermally-related, minimally invasive therapies are designed to treat tumors while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues. Adjacent tissues become susceptible to thermal injury to ensure the cancer is completely ...
Optimal-control Theoretic Methods For Optimization And Regulation Of Distributed Parameter Systems
(Aerospace Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Optimal control and optimization of distributed parameter systems are discussed in the context of a common control framework. The adjoint method of optimization and the traditional linear quadratic regulator implementation ...
Semi-analytical Complex Variable Based Stochastic Finite Element Method
(Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The stochastic finite element method (SFEM) is an approach that allows an analyst to define material, load, and geometry parameters as random variables to represent uncertainty in an engineering problem. The method is then ...
Characterization And Cooling Capacity Enhancement Of A Porous Ceramic Wick Based Coldplate
(Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Current passive cooling methods of aerospace and military, high heat-flux electronics include the use of thermal planes made of exotic metal alloys, which have been designed, at a great expense, to have high thermal ...
Experimental Investigation Of Flow Boiling And Spray Cooling On Enhanced Surfaces In FC-72
(Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
In this study the effect of a recently developed, thermally conductive microporous coating on flow boiling and spray cooling performance was studied using FC-72 as the working fluid. The overall goal is to further increase ...
