Energy and exergy analysis of fuel cells: a review (2018)
Journal Article
Arshad, A., Ali, H. M., Habib, A., Bashir, M. A., Jabbal, M., & Yan, Y. (2019). Energy and exergy analysis of fuel cells: a review. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, 9, 308-321. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsep.2018.12.008

In this paper, the fundamental overview of theoretical and practical aspects of thermodynamics analysis for mainly used fuel cells (FCs) are presented. The FC converts the chemical energy of fuel (normally hydrogen) directly into electrical energy re... Read More about Energy and exergy analysis of fuel cells: a review.

Efficiency enhancement of synthetic jet actuators using single crystal piezoceramics (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jabbal, M., Dave, R., & Nesvijski, E. (2018, July). Efficiency enhancement of synthetic jet actuators using single crystal piezoceramics. Paper presented at 2018 Applied Aerodynamics Conference, Bristol, UK

This report documents the first manufacture and test of a single crystal (PMN-PT) piezoceramic diaphragm synthetic jet actuator for more efficient operation. The experimental investigation included laser vibrometry for diaphragm displacement measurem... Read More about Efficiency enhancement of synthetic jet actuators using single crystal piezoceramics.

Experimental investigation of the aeroacoustics of synthetic jet actuators in quiescent conditions (2018)
Journal Article
Jeyalingam, J., & Jabbal, M. (2018). Experimental investigation of the aeroacoustics of synthetic jet actuators in quiescent conditions. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 280, 52-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2018.07.007

In this paper, the aeroacoustic characteristics of a circular orifice, synthetic jet actuator in quiescent conditions is investigated. Electromagnetic actuation, in the form of a shaker-driven actuator with latex diaphragm, proved to be desirable ove...
