Effect of coupling in steel/aluminium laminate subjected to tensile load by Ang, Dionysius Wei Qian

“…The results for the first case show lesser bending-extension coupling effect when the number of layers is increased. In the second case, the results show that flexural stiffness increases as the structure is modified from a cantilever sheet to a cantilever beam and the structure shows lesser bending-extension coupling effect. …”

Improved performance of gravity-driven membrane filtration for seawater pretreatment: Implications of membrane module configuration by Tan, Hwee Sin, Hochstrasser, Florian, Wu, Bing, Christen, Tino, Suwarno, Stanislaus Raditya, Liu, Xin, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Burkhardt, Michael, Pronk, Wouter, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…This flux was higher than those in the lab-scale GDM reactor (16.3 ± 0.2 L/m2h; effective volume of 8.4 L) and in the filtration cell system (2.7 ± 0.6 L/m2h; feed side volume of 0.0046 L) when the same flat sheet membrane was used. Interestingly, when the filtration cell was submerged into the GDM reactor, the flux (17.2 L/m2h) was comparable to the submerged membrane module. …”

Studies on GaN based HEMT heterostructures on 100-mm silicon grown by molecular beam epitaxy by Ravikiran Lingaparthi

“…Using AlN/GaN SMLs, crack free AlGaN/GaN HEMT heterostructures with 2nd GaN up to 1000 nm thickness has been achieved on 100-mm Si substrate. AlGaN/GaN HEMT heterostructures grown using AlN/GaN SMLs showed a room temperature mobility of 1340 cm2/V.s and carrier concentration of 1.13 x 1013 cm-2, which resulted in a sheet resistance of 409 Ω/sq. …”

Simulations of radiatively cooled magnetic reconnection driven by pulsed power by Datta, Rishabh, Crilly, Aidan, Chittenden, Jeremy P., Chowdhry, Simran, Chandler, Katherine, Chaturvedi, Nikita, Myers, Clayton E., Fox, William R., Hansen, Stephanie B., Jennings, Chris A., Ji, Hantao, Kuranz, Carolyn C., Lebedev, Sergey V., Uzdensky, Dmitri A., Hare, Jack D.

“…The reconnection layer undergoes radiative collapse when the radiative losses exceed the rates of ohmic and compressional heating (cooling rate/hydrodynamic transit rate = 𝜏−1cool/𝜏−1𝐻≈100 ); this generates a cold strongly compressed current sheet, leading to an accelerated reconnection rate, consistent with theoretical predictions. …”
