Fibre optic sensor for speed measurement
Determination of speed is an important requirement in a wide variety of technical and industrial applications. The measurement of speed has evolved from pure mechanical to magnetoelectric and radio frequency (RF) based devices. There is however a demand for low-cost sensors capable of operating in …

A fibre optic based ranging sensor
The remote determination of distance is an important requirement in a wide variety of technical and industrial applications. Ranging techniques have evolved from geometrical to bulk optical or radar methods. There is however a demand for low-cost short to medium range sensors, for operation in …

A numerical study of convective heat transfer in stored respiring agricultural produce
A mathematical model of natural convection in three-dimensional enclosures containing respiring fruits or vegetables is presented. The agricultural produce is treated media exhibiting transversely orthotropic permeability in which local temperature dependent respiration heat generation occurs. In …

Effectiveness of smoke barriers: pressurised stair enclosures
… the years, however, many within the Fire Engineering industry have commented that SPS do not really perform as per their design intent. In order to assess this belief, an investigation was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of a SPS, whereby the effectiveness was assessed by …
