Performance, Thermal Stability and Optimum Design Analyses of Rectangular Fin with Temperature-Dependent Thermal Properties and Internal Heat Generation

In this study, we analysed the thermal performance, thermal stability and optimum design analyses of a longitudinal, rectangular fin with temperature-dependent, thermal properties and internal heat generation under multi-boiling heat transfer using Haar wavelet collocation method. The effects of the key and controlling parameters on the thermal performance of the fin are investigated. The therm...

Engineering Informatics Education with Biologically Inspired Robots

The design of robotic systems is a multidisciplinary effort requiring input from engineers and scientist in a variety of fields. Throughout the design process, numerous engineering models are developed to describe the various subsystems that make up a robotic device. We will present a biologically inspired robotic snake as a case study to demonstrate the typical engineering models that comprise...

Application of triangulation approach in requirements engineering process: A study in analysis and design of the pediatrics epilepsy information system

Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...
