The present study aims to investigate the analysis of stress, strain, displacement, and electrical potential of a thick hollow cylinder made of FGPM under mechanical and thermal loads. Distribution of mechanical property of material is considered along the shell stick through the power distribution function. Thermal loads have been taken to signify the difference of temperature between outer an...

In nano-based microarchitectural design, achieving higher clock frequency is confronted with thermal restrictions especially with the presense of temperature-variant leakage power. While a module temperature depends both on power density and the thermal coupling with the neighboring blocks, thermal-aware floorplans have been introduced to reduce peak temperature. The major drawback is that the ...

Nowadays, water and electricity are closely interdependent essential sources in human life that affect socio-economic growth and prosperity. In other words, electricity is a fundamental source to supply a seawater desalination process, while fresh water is used for cooling this power plant. Therefore, mutual vulnerability of water treatment and power generation systems is growing because of inc...

Thin bonded films have many applications in antireflection and reflection coating, insulating and conducting films and semiconductor industries. Thermal conductivity is one of the most important parameter for power packaging since the thermal resistance of the interconnections is directly related to the heat removal capability and thermal management of the power package. The defects in material...

This report discusses the design of Thermo-mechanical converter that creates heart of the RF power sensor microsystem. The conception of absorbed power measurement is based on thermal conversion, where absorbed RF power is transformed into thermal power, inside a thermally isolated system. Micromechanical Thermal Converter (MTC) spatial temperature dependences, thermal time constant and power t...

In this paper, the general solution of steady-state two-dimensional non-axisymmetric mechanical and thermal stresses and mechanical displacements of a hollow thick cylinder made of fluid-saturated functionally graded porous material (FGPM) is presented. The general form of thermal and mechanical boundary conditions is considered on the inside and outside surfaces. A direct method is used to sol...

The study seeks to show how online remote condition monitoring helps to improve the maintenance system in a power plant from mainly predetermined and corrective approach to predictive maintenance and, the resultant benefits of its adoption. The findings clearly indicate the various aspects of online remote condition monitoring system which thermal power plants can consider to improve on plant s...
