Theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in an evaporative cooling system with zeolite desiccant powered by solar energy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Concerns about energy sources depletion and environmental pollution issues have been raised and is a top priority of the global community. Refrigeration ...
Design optimization and efficiency modeling of a hot gas vane motor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The purpose of this research is to model and analyze the dynamics of a hot gas vane motor for design optimization work. The pneumatic motor is a portable direct drive actuator that is intended as an alternative to ...
Techno-economic assessment of utilizing solar thermal energy in manufacturing processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In the past century, fossil fuels have been a primary source of mankind's energy production as they are cheaper and more readily available due to ...
Theoretical and experimental study of an evaporative cooler embedded with parallel plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the current investigation, a theoretical model predicting the temperature variation of ambient air flowing through an evaporative cooler embedded ...
Parametric and optimal design of modular machine tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Over the years machine tools for manufacturing have developed into two classes. One is the general purpose machine tools, and the other is designed for machining large quantities of a specific part or process. These ...
A development of the motile sperm sorting microfluidic devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The objectives of this research are developing and improving an inexpensive and convenient microfluidic device to apply to sperm cell sorting. Based on well known soft-lithography fabrication method which contains rapid ...
A method of frequency domain error modeling to predict the probability of stability and performance of dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this work a method is developed for modeling frequency domain error in dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty. Within any mass-manufactured ...
