Journal Article
Sinha, A., Cherdantsev, A., Johnson, K., Vasques, J., & Hann, D. (2021). How do the liquid properties affect the entrapment of bubbles in gas sheared liquid flows?. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, 92, Article 108878. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatfluidflow.2021.108878

A large number of industries use fossil fuels for the purpose of cooling and lubrication utilizing a gas stream that acts as a shearing force on the liquid surface. Decreasing the carbon footprint of these processes needs an improved understanding of... Read More about How do the liquid properties affect the entrapment of bubbles in gas sheared liquid flows?.

Conference Proceeding
Kisha, W., & Hann, D. (2021). Numerical Optimisation of the Regenerator of a Multi-stage Travelling Wave Thermoacoustic Electricity Generator. In Advances in Heat Transfer and Thermal Engineering: Proceedings of 16th UK Heat Transfer Conference (UKHTC2019) (459-463). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4765-6_79

In a travelling wave thermoacoustic engine, the regenerator is the heart of the engine [1], where the thermal interaction between the working gas and the solid material takes place. Unlike the stack in standing wave engine, the regenerator is more of... Read More about Numerical Optimisation of the Regenerator of a Multi-stage Travelling Wave Thermoacoustic Electricity Generator.
