Optimization of Higher-Order Harmonic Surface Tessellations for Additively Manufactured Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers
Patrick Adegbaye, Aigbe E. Awenlimobor, Justin An +2
Air-to-air heat exchangers are vital for energy recovery and thermal management but often suffer from reduced effectiveness, high pressure losses, and increased pumping power in co…
Method for backtracking the layer thermal conductivities of multilayer thin film structure using coupled Newton Raphson approach and 3-omega approach
Aigbe Awenlimobor, Jiajun Xu
The thermal conductivity of thin films is commonly estimated using the 3-omega experimental method. When calibrating the test setup, it is customary to use a specimen with a known…
Simulation of Micro-Void Development within Large Scale Additively Manufactured Polymer Composite Deposition Beads
Aigbe E. Awenlimobor
Despite the growing level of technological advancement that characterizes extrusion-deposition additive manufacturing technology, there remains a significant knowledge gap in fully…
Determination of Preferred Fiber Orientation State based on Newton-Raphson Method using Exact Jacobian
Aigbe Awenlimobor, Douglas E. Smith
Fiber orientation is an important descriptor of the microstructure for short fiber polymer composite materials where accurate and efficient prediction of the orientation state is c…
The Effect of Shear-Thinning Rheology on the Dynamics and Pressure Distribution of a Single Rigid Ellipsoidal Particle in Viscous Fluid Flow
Aigbe Awenlimobor, Douglas E. Smith
This paper evaluates the behavior of a single rigid ellipsoidal particle suspended in homogenous viscous flow with a power-law Generalized Newtonian Fluid (GNF) rheology using a cu…
