Three-dimensional flow structures and vorticity control in fish-like swimming by Zhu, Q., Wolfgang, M.J., Yue, D.K.P., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…We also investigate the interaction of the body-generated vortices with the oscillating caudal fin and with tail-generated vorticity. Two distinct vorticity interaction modes are identified: the first mode results in high thrust and is generated by constructive pairing of body-generated vorticity with same-sign tail-generated vorticity, resulting in the formation of a strong thrust wake; the second corresponds to high propulsive efficiency and is generated by destructive pairing of body-generated vorticity with opposite-sign tail-generated vorticity, resulting in the formation of a weak thrust wake.…”

Development of an app for a thermoelectric cooler system by Ng, Alex Boon Chye

“…The proposed cooling tower with TEC housing unit results are compared constantly with conventional heat dissipation method such as radiators and it achieved conclusive result of the highest heat load of 296W with COP of 1.397 amongst other prototypes with the same key parameters of water flowrate, heat source, and cold fin fan speeds. Finally, remote control of the system is achieved with Apple HomeKit using ESP32 and HomeSpan library that communicates via WiFi to provide active control and real time data displayed on a user-friendly platform that supports commercialised products. …”

Experimental study of steel beam-column joints with novel slot-bolted connections under a central-column-removal scenario by Ma, You-Xin, Chen, Shuang, Tan, Kang Hai

“…Due to the ample clearance provided by fin plate (FP) and top-and-seat with web angel (TSWA) connections for erection purposes, FP and TSWA connections are commonly utilised in steel structures. …”

Saturated pool boiling of FC-72 from enhanced surfaces produced by Selective Laser Melting by Ho, Jin Yao, Wong, Kin Keong, Leong, Kai Choong

“…A plain surface and intrinsic micro-cavity and micro-fin surfaces of different configurations were produced from AlSi10Mg base powder using a Gaussian distributed Yb:YAG laser and the surfaces were tested in a water-cooled thermosyphon with FC-72 as the coolant fluid. …”

Experimental investigation of orientation effect on flow boiling heat transfer performance of R134a refrigerant in minichannels by Wong, Isaac Kai Hunn

“…R134a was used as the working fluid flowing through the cold plate with closed (0 mm) and open (0.5 mm and 1 mm manifold gap) minichannels with uniform solid fins with a width of 2mm. Each parallel minichannel had dimensions of 2 mm channel spacing width and 1 mm height depth. …”
