Towards a mechanistic understanding of particle shrinkage during biomass pyrolysis via synchrotron X-ray microtomography and in-situ radiography.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-01-29)Accurate modelling of particle shrinkage during biomass pyrolysis is key to the production of biochars with specific morphologies. Such biochars represent sustainable solutions to a variety of adsorption-dependent environmental ... -
Towards catheter steering using magnetic tractor beam coupling
(SAGE Publications, 2022-02-07)Catheters are used in various clinical applications, and the ability to direct the catheter to the desired location is critical for clinical outcomes. Steerable catheters assist clinicians to access targeted areas, notably ... -
Towards highly homogeneous self-regulating heating of smart nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2024-06-20)Smart self-regulating heating devices utilising the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect have shown great potential in advancing applications across healthcare, soft robotics, and energy-efficient manufacturing. ... -
Towards identification of a reliable framework to predict the thermal field in turbulent wall-bounded shear flows
(Elsevier, 2021-12-01)Heat transfer modeling plays an integral role in design and optimization of traditional, as well as modern emerging thermal-fluid systems. However, mostly available models, known as eddy diffusivity models, face challenges ... -
Towards Identifying Core Computational Literacy Concepts for Inclusion in a First-year General Engineering Course
(2021 ASEE Annual Conference, 2021-07-26)In this paper, we describe an exploratory study to support efforts in revising first-year courses required for engineering students. It is common to include some form of introductory programming or spreadsheet computation ... -
Towards increased sustainability for aromatic polyesters: Poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) and its blends with poly(butylene terephthalate)
(Elsevier, 2020-01-01)Eco-friendly engineering polyesters originating from monomers derived from biomass such as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA), constitute a family of materials that have recently attracted immense interest from industry ... -
Towards the optimization of passive undulatory locomotion on land: mathematical and physical models
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2023)The current study investigates the body–environment interaction and exploits the passive viscoelastic properties of the body to perform undulatory locomotion. The investigations are carried out using a mathematical model ... -
Tracking the evolution of a single composite particle during redox cycling for application in H2 production.
(2020-03-24)Composite materials consisting of metal and metal oxide phases are being researched intensively for various energy conversion applications where they are often expected to operate under redox conditions at elevated ... -
Trajectory of the selective dissolution of charged single-walled carbon nanotubes
(2017-10-05)© 2017 American Chemical Society. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are typically produced as a mixture of different lengths and electronic types. Methods for sorting these as-produced mixtures typically require ... -
Transient and Permanent Reconfiguration of Chromatin and Transcription Factor Occupancy Drive Reprogramming
(Elsevier, 2017-12-07)Somatic cell reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) induces changes in genome architecture reflective of the embryonic stem cell (ESC) state. However, only a small minority of cells typically transition ... -
Transient cooling of a lithium-ion battery module during high-performance driving cycles using distributed pipes - A numerical investigation
(2023-12-25)Transient effects are often excluded from the design and analysis of battery thermal management systems (BTMS). However, electric vehicles are subjected to significant dynamic loads causing transient battery heating that ...
