A Novel Technique for Determination of Flow Characteristics of Blast Furnace Slag
(Scientific Research, 2012-06)A study of flow characteristics of blast furnace slag helps determine its softening and flow (liquid-mobility) temperatures. The slag with a narrow difference between the two temperatures is termed a “Short Slag”. Its ... -
A Novel Ultra-Wideband Monopole Antenna with Band-Stop Characteristic
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)In this letter, a simple monopole antenna with variable band-notched characteristic for ultra wide band (UWB) function is proposed. Two L-shaped quarter-waveguide resonators coupled to the ground plane with two shorting ... -
Numerical Investigation of Flow Structure Interaction Coupling Effects in Hard Disk Drives
(2012-02)This paper studies the flow structural interaction (FSI) within a hard disk drive (HDD) through the use of a novel coupling method. The interaction studied was the fluid induced vibration in the HDD. A two step coupling ... -
