Effect of Kinematics and Caudal Fin Properties on Performance of a Freely-Swimming Fin
… on comparing the performance of a free swimming fin over tethered fin both experimentally and numerically. Experimentally, we focus on the oscillatory form of locomotion where the caudal fin pitches to generate necessary thrust as seen in boxfish. We intend to investigate the Caudal fin …

The influence of fin height and wall conductivity on integral-fin tubes during steam condensation
… of 12.7mm, a root diameter of 13.88mm, and fin heights ranging from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, in 0.25mm increments. The outside heat transfer coefficient was determined first by finding the overall heat transfer coefficient, Uo, then by using the Modified Wilson Plot Technique. The results indicated …

An assessment of fin-tube thermal contact resistance in round-tube-plain-fin heat exchangers
Fin-and-tube heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications. Heat exchangers with expanded tubes are economical, but a drawback is the potentially large contact resistance between tubes and fins. Previous studies have investigated this topic under the exclusion of air-side convection. …

Measurements and Predictions of the Heat Transfer at the Tube-Fin Junction for Louvered Fin Heat Exchangers
… investigation, a scaled-up model of the louvered fin-tube wall was tested in a flow facility. Although computational results for the isothermal tube wall are shown, control of the experimental isothermal tube wall proved to be unrealistic and only heat transfer measurements along the constant heat …

Understanding Positional Information During Zebrafish Fin Regeneration
… This dissertation establishes zebrafish pectoral fins as a model system for studying and defining positional memory factors. This has been accomplished through careful morphological measurements, gene expression profiling, construction of transgenic zebrafish strains, and the use of various …

2.672 experiment design : heat sink fin configurations
2.672 is an undergraduate mechanical engineering laboratory course which requires students to solve real-world problems using both theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments. Many of the experiments currently in the laboratory have aged and their replacement presents an opportunity for the …

Flow Boiling in Meso-Scale Pin-Fin Coldplates
… Recent flow boiling studies have focused on fin-enhanced silicon microgaps and microchannels, given their importance in cooling high-power-density chips operating at ultra-high heat fluxes. However, the majority of the research on flow boiling in mini- and macro-scale configurations has been …

Les carrières en fin d'activités: un potentiel paysager?
The present study focuses on the landscape concept and evaluations and is based on some issues related to the impact, restoration and ecological potential of the abandoned quarries. It proposes a landscape character assessment for non active limestone quarries resulting from the spontaneous …

Preying on the predator : the shark fin controversy
The consumption of shark fin soup dates back to the Ming Dynasty in China, when it was served to emperors. Today, the cultural delicacy represents wealth, status, and power. Over the past 30 years, with the rising middle class in China, the demand for shark fins has surged. To address the …

Leisure and Conversation in the Fin de Siècle Novel
This project examines images of leisure in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Golden Bowl, and Howards End. These novels, all of which are set in Britain, depict the rapidly changing post-industrial social landscape at the turn of the nineteenth century. …

Morphology and evolution of caudal fin in lamniform sharks
Sharks have a distinct asymmetrical caudal fin referred to as heterocercal tail that is a key characteristic of the group and has diversified within sharks in ways that are correlated with lifestyle. However, practically no study examining the evolutionary trend and history of the caudal fin …
