The book contents include the following topics which cover aspects of hydrodynamics, wind turbine design, microfluidics, CFD simulations, and the specific use of metallic coatings:
Numerical analysis of hydrokinetic turbines
Computational fluid dynamics of a CuO based nanofluid in mini-channel cross-sections
Orthodontic biomechanics of a NiTi arch wires
Reynold’s number effects on fluid flow through Savonius rotors
Effect of operating parameters on Zn-Mn alloys deposited from additive-free chloride bath
Optical properties and stability of a blue-emitting phosphor (Sr2P2O7:Eu2+) Under UV and VUV excitation
Numerical study of the influence of nanofluid type on thermal improvement in a three dimensional mini channel
Electrochemical studies and characterization of Zn-Mn coatings deposited in the presence of novel organic additives
Prediction of fire and smoke propagation under a range of external conditions
Structural design of a 10 kW H-Darrieus wind turbine
The presented case studies and development approaches aim to provide the readers, such as engineers and Ph.D. students, with basic and applied studies which demonstrate how mechanics are applied to develop technologies to provide solutions to engineering problems.
