The proposed work involves assessment of the feasibility of removal of large, concentrated heat fluxes from multi-chip circuit boards in high performance aircraft by means of liquid jet impingement cooling with subcooled change of phase. Previous studies have shown that, unlike many other types of liquid immersion concepts, the thermal performance of the proposed concept is more sensitive to coola ...

THE CONTINUOUS ADVANCEMENT IN COMPUTERS AND PROGRAMMING METHODS COUPLED WITH EXPANDING MODELING TECHNIQUES OFFER THE REAL POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A DETAILED COMPUTER SIMULATION OF SHIPBOARD POWER SYSTEMS. EXPLORING THIS POSSIBILITY IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS PROPOSAL. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY ESTABLISHING THE MODELING REQUIREMENTS IN REGARD TO THE DETAIL NECESSARY, THE FORM OF THE COMPONENT MODE ...

The successful development of a scuba mouthpiece based oral bone conduction hearing device will revolutionize underwater hearing. Clear, binaural hearing in an aqueous environment, without the need for headgear or ear proximity air gap sound transmission is a tremendous advantage to divers who wish to voice communicate or to receive audible information from instrumentation. Current uses of headg ...

THERE IS A NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND PREDICT THE COUPLING OF TRANSIENT ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS TO METALLIC ENCLOSURES. THIS ALLOWS US TO SAFEGUARD SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FROM THE EFFECTS OF LARGE ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES, WHOSE ORIGINS MAY BE NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS PULSED MICROWAVES OR LIGHTNING. THE PROBLEM THAT WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE INVOLVES THE COUPLING OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS TO A THIN WIR ...
