A micron-scale differential scanning calorimeter (mDSC) has been produced on a silicon chip allowing for microscopic differential scanning calorimetry...
The impact of a distilled water droplet upon a heated wax surface was investigated experimentally using a high-speed digital camera. The droplet impact Weber...
A correlation was developed for mass flowrate of R12, R134a, R502, R22, R407C, and R410A through short tubes. Sort tube lengths ranged from 9.5 mm to 25.4 mm...
The development of a virtual testing system is no small task. It requires fundamental scientific research into the physics, chemistry, and materials science of...
We study the effects of the ballistic expansion of an atomic cloud on theoretical predictions of the collisional shifts in the Cesium atomic fountain clock. Due...
Until recently, visualization of 3D models required computational resources available only on desktop computers in office environments. With the advance of...
Seven concrete beams reinforced internally with steel and externally with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) applied after the concrete had cracked were...
