Abstract:

One of the governing sources of energy loss in a modern day jet engine is attributed to surfacedrag. This energy loss can be divided into friction loss and to surface geometry loss. Thefriction loss is the shear stress the fluid experience due to a no slip condition at the wall, whilethe surface geometry loss is due to pressure drop when the fuel passes an obstacle.The objective of this work is to study the drag coefficient of a plate for different types ofmilled tracks and for different kinds of flow conditions. The theories used to calculate thedrag coefficient are based on the momentum thic

The work in this thesis is primarily aimed at supporting the NBe (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) aspect of Crusader 21, the military clothing programme for the early 21st Century. This aims to produce a multi-purpose, systems-orientated combat ensemble for the UK Armed Services. Conventional "wet" techniques for chemically modifying fabrics have certain disadvantages, however employing plasma technology may provide a route for many novel "multi-functional effects" fabrics such as repellency against toxic chemical agents. In order to produce repellent coatings the surface must have a low sur

Abstract:

The water repellency of a surface is principally governed by a combination of its chemical nature (i.e. surface energy) and topographical microstructure. The surface energy is an intrinsic property of a material that can be controlled by chemical modification, and other factors that can affect wettability, especially the surface topography were investigated. In particular, the study of topographical factors influencing the wettability of solid films is very important in View of production of surfaces with tailored properties and functions.

This thesis is concerned with the fundamental principles affecting protein adsorption. The effects of surface chemistry and topography on protein adsorption characteristics have been identified and quantified. Particular attention has been made to understand how the conformation of surface-bound proteins was affected by the surface onto which they adsorbed. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorometry were used to assess protein-surface affinity and amounts of protein adsorbed at surface saturation levels. Infrared spectroscopy was used to quantify protein conformatio

The physical characteristics and mechanical properties of the component materials used in the construction of third generation surfaces were examined. The bulk density of the rubber infill material was found to be a key variable. This was shown to be influenced by compaction and the resulting compression of the rubber infill material under an applied load. Increasing

Follow-up experiments conducted by many investigators confirmed their results, while others suggested that the â hydrophobic forceâ is an artifact due to nanobubbles (or cavitation). Evidences for the latter included the discontinuities (or steps) in the force versus distance curves and the pancake-shaped nano-bubbles seen in atomic force microscopic (AFM) images.

In the past decade, the condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces has been investigated abundantly to achieve dropwise condensation. There is not a specific approach in choosing the size of the roughness of the superhydrophobic surfaces and it was mostly selected arbitrarily to investigate the behavior of condensates on these surfaces. In this research, we are optimizing the size of the roughness of the superhydrophobic surface in order to achieve dropwise condensation.

Abstract:

This paper presents an approach to modeling a binary mixture near a surf ace. The approach used is based on statistical mechanics. The Cluster Variation (CV) method is used to solve an Ising-like model with a cluster size of two (neighboring lattice points). The free energy of the system is expressed in terms of the probabilities of occurrences of particular clusters. The CV method is first developed for a homogeneous system which leads to a set of three non-linear partial differential equations. The surface boundary is then introduced and the CV method is developed for this system which leads

Objective: Topography, chemistry, and energy of titanium (Ti) implants alter cell response through variations in protein adsorption, integrin expression, and downstream cell signaling. However, the contribution of surface energy on cell response is difficult to isolate because altered hydrophilicity can result from changes in surface chemistry or microstructure. Our aim was to examine a unique system of wettability gradients created on microstructured Ti on osteoblast maturation and phenotype.

Bézier curves and surfaces are used to great success in computer-aided design and finite element modelling, among other things, due to their tendency of being mathematically convenient to use.

To illustrate some of these properties, the strain energy of a Bézier surface is calculated.
