Lagrangian Parcel Volume method applied to icing surfaces to predict impact efficiency
… equation to calculate concentrations with high efficiency. The current study expands upon previous work which developed a new Lagrangian computational method, called the Lagrangian Parcel Volume (LPV) method. The LPV method uses Lagrangian particle trajectories which define a parcel’s volume to …

Modeling and Validation of Tension-Element Based Mechanisms for Golf Ball-Club Impact
… benefits. Performance is measured in terms of impact efficiency of the ball and head and is referred to as coefficient of restitution (COR). COR is affected by the dynamic effective face stiffness and mass properties of the club. This thesis creates and validates high-fidelity, non-linear, …

Lagrangian techniques for particle flux and concentration
A new technique is proposed for computing Eulerian particle concentration and fluxes based on Lagrangian particle trajectories. In particular, a Lagrangian concentration differential equation is solved along a particle path using Eulerian derivatives for the particle velocity divergence field. This …

Mixed-precision NN accelerator with neural-hardware architecture search
… The design space and its exploration methodology impact efficiency and productivity. However, both architecture designs are challenging. We first propose a mixed-precision accelerator, a highly parameterized architecture that can adapt to different bit widths for different quantized layers with …

Mechanical dispersion of semi-solid binders in high-shear granulation
… compression tests and extrapolated to the impact speeds observed in the pin mixer. Using the yield stress to calculate the Stokes deformation number revealed that the breakage of surfactant would occur at all impact conditions in the pin mixer. The mechanical dispersion results demonstrated …

The Effect of Process Accountability on the Evaluation of Audit Evidence: An Examination of the Audit Review Process
… of accountability and client risk on auditor efficiency and effectiveness during an audit review task. I considered two types of accountability. The first type is outcome accountability, which represents the type of accountability in the current audit review process. The second type of …

On the Challenges of integrating a Rotating Detonation Combustor with an Industrial Gas Turbine and important design considerations for Row-1 Blades
… fuels. In this effort to increase the efficiency and performance of such gas turbine power cycles, pressure gain combustion (PGC) has gained significant interest. The potential for an increase in the thermodynamic efficiency over the constant-pressure Brayton Cycle has made detonation …

Routing and Allocation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with Communication Considerations
… are analyzed to determine how communications impact efficiency of information return. It is shown that under certain communication conditions, a new approach on routing can be more efficient than typically adopted strategies. This new approach defines and presents a new formulation based on a …
