Finite Element Analysis of a Rocker Arm Component Description 1.1. Component Function The rocker arm is an oscillating, two-arm lever that provides a means of actuating the valves in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. It translates the radial motion of the profile of the cam lobe through a fulcrum into linear … Read More
Methanol as the fuel of the future- Yes or No? Abstract Methanol or methyl alcohol received a great amount of attention in the early 1990s as an alternative fuel to gasoline in the United States. It can be easily produced from several resources found abundant in nature like coal and natural gas. Though toxic in … Read More
MCEE201/601 – Report#1 Oxidation, Ion-Implantation and RTP/Furnace Processing Abstract The Lab course’s goal is to perform how to design, fabricate and characterize a simple P-type-metal oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) device.

Orbital Mechanics The Cis Lunar tug system or the Dark Panther spacecraft is a UAV type vehicle. Before each mission the Dark Panther spacecraft will be docked via gateway in Cis lunar space. Once vehicle is ready to conduct an operation spacecraft will separate from the gateway into cis lunar orbit. The Dark Panther will … Read More
USE OF GAS LASERS IN METAL PROCESSING INTRODUCTION Gas lasers are lasers that can produce consistent beams of light with short wavelengths when an electric current is passed through a gas (or plasma) (Bloom, 1968).Plasma is an ionised gas with relatively no charge (SPI Lasers, 2018), it is the fourth state of matter. The first … Read More

Alleviation of Harmonics using Series Power Line Compensator Abstract – This paper proposes series power line compensator which uses a new dual p q theory to effectively eliminate the harmonics in the three phase four wire power system. Further, conventional inverter is replaced with Z source inverter to achieve reduced harmonic levels. Eliminating harmonics reduces the … Read More
A Light-Weight Inverted Hat Antenna Composed of 12 Blade-Type-Radiators for VHF/UHF Frequency Bands Operation Abstract— A wideband monopole antenna composed of 12 blade-type planar radiators is proposed which introduce a light-weight Body of Revolution (BOR). The antenna is based on the Inverted Hat Antenna (IHA) structure which results in omnidirectional radiation pattern in azimuth plane. The … Read More
1.Introduction: In this paper, the importance of a parts washer used to clean filtration equipment used in the product capture stage in biopharmaceutical downstream processing will be discussed. A parts washer is a clean-out-of-place system. The filtration equipment is disassembled and placed into this mechanical washer where they are cleaned, rinsed and dried. Parts washers … Read More
INVESTIGATION OF THE TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF RECOVERING WASTE HEAT OF DIESEL GENERATOR EXHAUST FOR HEATING MINE INTAKE AIR ABSTRACT In cold climates, extremely harsh winters require heating of underground mine intake air. As a result, fresh intake air, as cold as -40°C, is commonly heated up to around +3 °C, leading to high energy costs … Read More
