Heat transfer behaviour of a dilute impinging air-water mist jet
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)While the convective heat transfer characteristics of conventional air jets have received a large amount of attention, mist Jets remain relatively under-represented within the literature. The mist jet has the potential to ... -
Heat transfer characteristics of swirling impinging jets
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2013)The application of impinging jets for cooling purposes is an ongoing search for greater levels of heat dissipation in a world where manufacturing processes are getting more advanced and electrical systems are becoming ... -
Hydrodynamics and heat transfer of laminar pulsating flow in a rectangular channel
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2017)The exploitation of flow pulsation is a potentially useful technique for enhanced cooling in single-phase cooling systems. This thesis contains parametric analyses of the hydrodynamics and heat transfer of a laminar ... -
Hypothesis testing of glenoid component innovation in total shoulder arthroplasty
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2003)A glenoid component with reliable long-term performance does not exist for total shoulder arthroplasty. Poor glenoid component durability may be explained by the huge variability that exists at the shoulder joint ... -

Interaction between fluidelastic instability and acoustic resonance
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2008) -
Investigating Failure Mechanisms, Defect Tolerance and Repair of Plant Stems for Practical Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2022)Plants are complex in their biological composition and can provide inspiration for man-made engineering products. Designing bio-inspired products involves understanding the intricacies of plants? mechanical properties and ... -
Investigating of dual-jet air curtains for a landing gear noise reduction technology
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2017)As the popularity of air travel increases, noise that it causes to the communities around airports has become a major concern to the aeronautical industry. World leading economic entities, such as EU and US, have made ... -
Investigating the load, friction and sealability characteristics of graphite valve packings
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2005)It is widely accepted that valve stem leakage accounts for the majority of fugitive emissions from petrochemical and chemical sites often accounting for over 50% of fugitive emissions from these sites. The most common valve ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT DUE TO PULSED FLOW IN MINICHANNELS
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)The development of current and next generation high performance electronic devices has led to smaller components in more densely packed spaces. The increasing power levels has resulted in ever-increasing heat flux densities ... -
Investigations into the mechanical properties of insect cuticle
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Insect cuticle is a composite material comprised of chitin fibres embedded in a protein matrix. It performs a wide variety of functions across class Insecta, and as such displays a wide bandwidth of material properties. ... -
Iterative three-dimensional Helmholtz Equation solutions using the Wave Expansion Method
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)Modelling sound propagation often can present difficult challenges due to computational demands. In general, the direct solutions of the system equations arising from the full field discretization of many three-dimensional ...
