Influence of channel-height on heat transfer in rectangular channels with skewed ribs at different bleed conditions

An infrared imaging system is used to measure detailed distributions of local heat transfer coefficient from rectangular channels with two opposite wide walls roughened by 45° staggered ribs of twenty test cases. Nusselt number (Nu) contours over the ribbed surfaces are presented for five sets of channels with an identical rib-floor configuration, but different channel-heights where the complex Nu distributions without bleed and then with bleeds from the scanned rib-floor or from the ribbed wall opposite to the scanned rib-floor or from the smooth sidewall are analyzed to examine the synergetic effects of variable channel-heights and different bleed conditions on heat transfer. Spatially averaged heat transfer results for the entire set of test channels are generated with the thermal performance factors compared to establish the heat transfer correlations with applications to the design of coolant channels in a gas turbine blade.     

In-situ fabrication of particulate reinforced aluminum matrix composites under high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field

Pulsed magnetic field is generated when imposing pulse signal on high-frequency magnetic field. Distribution of the inner magnetic intensity in induction coils tends to be uniform. Furthermore oscillation and disturbance phenomena appear in the melt. In-situ Al2O3 and Al3Zr particulate reinforced aluminum matrix composites have been synthesized by direct melt reaction using Al-Zr(CO3)2 components under a foreign field. The size of reinforced particulates is 2-3 μm. They are well distributed in the matrix. Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis show that high-frequency pulsed magnetic field accelerates heat and mass transfer processes and improves the kinetic condition of in-situ fabrication.

Data monitoring and sports injury prediction model based on embedded system and machine learning algorithm

Managing sports performance is very important in the sports industry. Performance, the executives, centers on boosting competitor execution and decreasing the danger of injury. Several factors contribute to these goals, including player health, emotional status, exercise load and physical intensity requirements. Generally speaking, injury prediction is an essential component of injury prevention, and successful identification of injury prediction is a primary indicator for effective prevention. The proposed Artificial Neural Network (ANN) objective is to develop and use early-doing ability and exercise load data to validate a hierarchical machine learning prediction system with accurate detection of player injuries. The physical and workload that requires detection of this early personalized damage can be avoided with specific help. The framework is used to test 21 soccer players’ sports information from various sources, including gathered and inside burden information, outside burden information, and review information. The entirety of this information is fused into the proposed framework to improve the exactness of harm expectation. This calculation distinguishes competitors in danger of injury, with their early intervention available.     

The ability of eye-tracking metrics to classify and predict the perceived driving workload

Traffic safety is directly related to the mental and physical condition of the driver. Performing regular secondary tasks while driving is an additional activity that dissipates attention and adds to the drivers' workload. Identifying driver fatigue and workload based on gaze behavior is one way to ensure a safe driving experience. The purpose of this paper is to classify and predict driving perceived workload using a set of eye-tracking metrics (gaze fixation, duration, pointing, and pupil diameter). The ability of eye-tracking metrics to predict driving workload has been investigated. As a result, frustration, performance, and temporal load showed a correlation with gaze metrics. Gaze point, duration, fixation, and pupil diameter significantly influence driving workload.Relevance to industry: Results will supply the specialists in eye-tracking/sensor technologies and traffic safety with new knowledge to improve the design of the driving performance and safety monitoring systems and efficiency of the driving process.

Distributed patching for mobile wireless sensor networks

Mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs), the continuous movement of sensor nodes, may cause complete disconnection of the network or at best a part of it. The design of such networks should guarantee that all sensor nodes at all times have a path to the sink node(s). Prolonging the lifetimes of the MWSNs is a crucial design issue but should not be at the expense of other essential functions such as connectivity. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient distributed framework for connectivity maintenance of MWSNs. In the proposed framework, sensor nodes of the MWSNs schedule and control their radio frequency (RF) modules based on dynamic coordinated reconstruction mechanism, some senor nodes may lose their connectivity with the network due to mobility, depletion of energy and/or incurred faults. Two protocols are developed to patch up the disconnection of the MWSNs. The first protocol reestablishes the network connection consuming far less energy than state-of-the-art alternatives. However, it is capable of reestablishing the connection when no more than 20% of the MWSN backbone nodes lose connection concurrently. The second protocol extends this limit to operate when up to 35% of the MWSN backbone nodes lose connection simultaneously.     

Molecular dynamics-based prediction of boundary slip of fluids in nanochannels

Computational modeling and simulation can provide an effective predictive capability for flow properties of the confined fluids in micro/nanoscales. In this paper, considering the boundary slip at the fluid–solid interface, the motion property of fluids confined in parallel-plate nanochannels are investigated to couple the atomistic regime to continuum. The corrected second-order slip boundary condition is used to solve the Navier–Stokes equations for confined fluids. Molecular dynamics simulations for Poiseuille flows are performed to study the influences of the strength of the solid–fluid coupling, the fluid temperature, and the density of the solid wall on the velocity slip at the fluid boundary. For weak solid–fluid coupling strength, high temperature of the confined fluid and high density of the solid wall, the large velocity slip at the fluid boundary can be obviously observed. The effectiveness of the corrected second-order slip boundary condition is demonstrated by comparing the velocity profiles of Poiseuille flows from MD simulations with that from continuum.     

Investigation of shear stress distribution in notch problem under sliding mode case

The shear stress distribution for the notch problem of plane elasticity in the sliding mode case is investigated in this paper. Particular features of the shear stress distribution beneath the crown point of notch are analyzed by means of the Muskhelishvili method [1]. It is found that the maximum shear stress _{xy, max} is always reached at some point below the surface of the notch. The smaller the radius of the notch, the larger is the maximum shear stress _{xy, max}. A relation between _{xy, max} and stress intensity factor K _II of the corresponding crack problem is found to be Several specific examples are given to prove the validity of the obtained relation.% MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaaiaadUeadaWgaaWcbaGaaeysaiaabMeaaeqaaOGaeyypa0ZaaSaa% aeaacaaIZaWaaOaaaeaacaaIZaGaeqiWdahaleqaaaGcbaGaaGOmaa% aadaWfqaqaaiGacYgacaGGPbGaaiyBaaWcbaGaeqyWdiNaeyOKH4Qa% aGimaaqabaGcdaGcaaqaaiabeg8aYjabeo8aZbWcbeaakmaaBaaale% aacaWG4bGaamyEaiaacYcaciGGTbGaaiyyaiaacIhadaahaaadbeqa% amXvP5wqonvsaeHbuLwBLnhiov2DGi1BTfMBG0evGueE0jxyGi0BSr% gaiuaacqWFUaGlaaaaleqaaaaa!6261!\[K_{{\text{II}}} = \frac{{3\sqrt {3\pi } }}{2}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\rho \to 0} \sqrt {\rho \sigma } _{xy,\max ^. } \]This research project is supported by the National Science Foundation of China.
