Article all-aluminum microchannel heat exchangers have recently gained popularity in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. Despite their attractive thermal performance design, these heat exchangers make coils used in automotive, commercial, and residential applications prone to crevice corrosion. This study uses high-fidelity conjugate heat transfer simulations to model a micro channel heat exchanger system that includes fins and tubes with crossflow to compare their thermal effectiveness to gain insight into potential crevice corrosion of the MCHE alloy.

Article describes how fiberboards from scrap denim were fabricated using two different resins, melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI). Resin content and MUF-pMDI weight ratio were studied. Physical and mechanical tests determined the modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond (IB), thickness swell (TS), and water absorption (WA).

Article describes an experimental analysis of the drying behavior of gooseberry slices dried in the open sun. The authors used the hot air dryer method, and found that the moisture content of gooseberry slices in their initial condition was estimated to be 87.81% wet-basis.

Article describes how, amorphous magnesium alloy, especially Mg-Zn-Ca series, has been receiving continuous attention in biomedical field, because of its favorable corrosion resistance, suitable modulus and biocompatibility. In this work, laser powder bed fusing with unique characteristics of rapid solidification and layer-by-layer fashion was used to fabricate bulk Mg-Zn-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ca-Y amorphous parts.

Data management plan for the grant "Nuclear Safety Testing and Analysis Research (NSTAR) Fellowship Program at the University of North Texas." The proposed NSTAR fellowship program at UNT aims to reinforce the workforce in the nuclear energy safety community by engaging the selected fellowship students (fellows) with interdisciplinary education and research. The overarching theme and research focus of the proposed NSTAR program is acoustics-based non-destructive testing and analysis and nanoparticle processing for thermal management applications. An interdisciplinary research team will investigate these research areas with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, material science, and/or physics. The program will fully support two fellows over four years including full tuition and stipends.

Article discusses how, after one year of operation, the Ingenuity rotorcraft and the Perseverance rover continue their exploration missions on Mars. Succeeding the technology demonstration phase, by proving its flight capabilities, Ingenuity transitioned to a new mission stage to explore modes of flight exploration for future scouting missions. The author's research intends to analyze, using numerical simulations, the aerodynamic conditions such as those experienced by Ingenuity during its flight missions.

Article describes how in recent years, there has been a growing demand for biocompatible medical devices on the microscale. The authors of the article extensively investigated various processing parameters such as vibration amplitude, temperature, and injection velocity.

Article states that the preparation of a soybean protein adhesive with good prepressing intensity, mildew proof, flame retardant, and high bond strength are conducive to the wide application of a soybean protein adhesive, which is important but challenging for the wood-based panel industry. In this study, two hyperbranched functional polymers were designed.
