Abstract:

The cleaning of food-based soils is highly relevant in domestic and industrial environments due to the costs associated with these operations as well as the significant consumption of time, water, and energy. Understanding the relationship between chemical and mechanical forces required to clean a surface is a critical step towards optimizing these processes. A complex twophase polymerized grease was developed and characterized with respect to its morphology, component distribution, and chemical composition. A thorough evaluation and physicochemical characterization of the cleaning process of

Abstract:

Desiccant technology is a category of HVAC equipment used for dehumidification. A desiccant material is a material that attracts and holds large amounts of water vapor. Desiccant materials are used in complete desiccant cooling units, air pretreatment devices, and HVAC system enhancements. The instructional module has been developed to introduce engineering students to desiccant technology and the use of desiccant systems. In the typical engineering curriculum, a number of courses could contain topics related to desiccant systems. Thermodynamics, heat transfer, HVAC, thermal systems design, an

Abstract:

Thermal analysis is a non-destructive and quantitative technique used to assess the quality of the liquid metal prior to casting. The method has been used in the aluminum foundry to assess the extent of grain refining and the degree of eutectic modification. Although the method has been, to a certain extent, successfully used, it has some serious drawbacks. The most apparent include: (a) poor reproducibility, (b) poor control over heat extraction and cooling rates, (c) a batch operation, and (d) a manual operation which is difficult to automate and computerize.<br>To overcome these shortcoming

Abstract:

Currently, out-of-autoclave (OOA) technology is being used to design and manufacture composite structural components at lower costs. OOA technology enables composites to be produced using only vacuum pressure, eliminating the cost of purchasing and operating an autoclave. The key to OOA prepreg is that they are specially designed to remove air that is entrapped during the lay-up process. The in-plane and through thickness permeability of the prepreg were characterized to determine which bagging configuration would produce the best honeycomb sandwich structure. The bagging con

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 91-94).<br>This thesis investigates ways to obtain consumer preferences for technology products to help designers identify the key attributes that contribute to a product's market success. A case study of residential solar PV panels is conducted in the context of the California, USA market within the 2007-2011 time span. First, interviews are conducted with solar panel installers to gain a better understanding of the so

Thesis: M. Eng. in Manufacturing, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 95-98).<br>Product reliability, quality, and performance are essential for all companies, especially high technology manufacturing startups looking to scale-up successfully. Company image and reputation can be heavily impacted by product failures. The cost of failures in-house and at the customer will only increase as a company scales up. Failure mitigation is critical to the success of a prod

Abstract:

With the demand for more advanced fighter aircraft, relying on relaxed stability or even unstable flight mechanical characteristics to gain flight performance, more focus has been put on model-based system engineering to help with the design work. The flight control system design is one important part that relies on this modeling. Therefore it has become more important to develop flight mechanical models that are highly accurate in the whole flight envelop. For today’s newly developed fighters, the basic aircraft characteristics change between linear and nonlinear as well as stable and unstabl

Abstract:

Many biological and artificial systems are made up from similar, relatively simple elements that interact directly with their nearest neighbors. Despite the simplicity of the individual building blocks, systems of this type, network systems, often display complex behavior — an observation which has inspired disciplines such as artificial neural networks and modular robotics. Network systems have several attractive properties, including distributed functionality, which enables robustness, and the possibility to use the same elements in different configurations. The uniformity of the elements sh
