• A concept of risk prioritization in FMEA analysis for fluid power systems 

      Fabiś-Domagała, Joanna; Domagala, Mariusz; Momeni, Hassan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      FMEA analysis is a tool of quality improvement that has been widely used for decades. Its classical version prioritizes risk of failure by risk priority number (RPN). The RPN is a product of severity (S), occurrence (O), ...
    • Hybrid Nanofluid in a Direct Absorption Solar Collector: Magnetite vs. Carbon Nanotubes Compete for Thermal Performance 

      Struchalin, Pavel; Kuzmenkov, Dmitrii M.; Yunin, Vladimir S.; Wang, Xinzhi; He, Yurong; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The paper presents the experimental measurements of thermal efficiency of a tubular direct absorption solar collector (DASC) with a hybrid nanofluid based on magnetite (Fe3O4) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The ...
    • A Matrix FMEA Analysis of Variable Delivery Vane Pumps 

      Fabis-Domagala, Joanna; Domagala, Mariusz; Momeni, Hassan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Hydraulic systems are widely used in the aeronautic, machinery, and energy industries. The functions that these systems perform require high reliability, which can be achieved by examining the causes of possible defects ...
    • Modeling Water Droplet Freezing and Collision with a Solid Surface 

      Shayunusov, Doston; Eskin, Dmitry; Balakin, Boris; Chugunov, Svyatoslav; Johansen, Stein Tore; Akhatov, Iskander (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Water droplets released from the sea surface represent one of the major causes of ice accretion on marine vessels. A one-dimensional model of the freezing of a spherical water droplet moving in cold air was developed. The ...
    • Solar-driven desalination using nanoparticles 

      Kuzmenkov, Dmitrii M.; Struchalin, Pavel G.; Olkhovskii, Andrey V.; Yunin, Vladimir S.; Kutsenko, Kirill V.; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Due to the high light absorption and the possibility of localizing boiling to the interior of the receiver, nanoparticles are promising for solar-driven desalination. The paper presents an experimental study of the ...
