Urine as a suitable fuel for microbial fuel cells (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

MFCs show promise in utilising a wide variety of organic sources. This paper describes the utilisation of neat urine as the main feedstock, with conversion efficiencies of >50%. Power densities of 4.93mW/m2 were recorded when 48 small-scale MFCs were... Read More about Urine as a suitable fuel for microbial fuel cells.

Personalised medical product development: methods, challenges and opportunities (2011)

Online hazard analysis for autonomous robots (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Robotic systems require rigorous analysis at all stages of development to ensure system safety. The manufacturing industry has developed many of the robotic design methods used today. These methods were adapted from design practices taken from other... Read More about Online hazard analysis for autonomous robots.

Coarsening of equiaxed microstructure in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy through SIMA processing (2011)
Journal Article

In the present study, the coarsening mechanism of equiaxed grains in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy, treated via strain induced melting activation process, was investigated. The kinetics of equiaxed grain growth in the semisolid state of... Read More about Coarsening of equiaxed microstructure in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy through SIMA processing.

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Correlation between solid fraction and tensile properties of semisolid RAP processed aluminum alloys (2011)
Journal Article

Recrystallization and remelting (RAP), a promising route for thixoforming process, was used to process three aluminum alloys, AA2024, AA6061, and A356, under experimental conditions designed to yield various solid fractions (liquid fractions) within...

Liquid and gas flow behaviour in highly rotating environment (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In a typical aero engine bearing chamber, oil is introduced to lubricate and cool the bearings as well as the bearing chamber wall. The flow of the oil in the bearing chamber is very complex due to the presence of various forces: gravity, windage, ca...

Modelling the material flow and web tension in the vertical form-fill-seal packaging process (2011)
Journal Article

Vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines are widely used to form bags for packaging products such as confectionary and snack food. One critical component of the machine is the forming shoulder, which needs to manipulate, without damage, the packaging...
