Proton modified Pt zeolite fuel cell electrocatalysts (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Yao, J., Yao, Y., & Mirzaii, H. (2014, August). Proton modified Pt zeolite fuel cell electrocatalysts. Paper presented at World Renewable Energy Congress WREC XIII, London, UK

NaY Zeolite is selected as a suitable material to host 1.5 wt% Platinum (Pt) loading on zeolite using ion exchange method (a) Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2 without excess NH4NO3 nitrate and (b) Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2 with excess NH4NO3 nitrate. The structure/reactivity rel... Read More about Proton modified Pt zeolite fuel cell electrocatalysts.

Direct numerical simulation of a turbulent flow over an axisymmetric hill (2014)
Journal Article
Castagna, J., Yao, Y., & Yao, J. (2014). Direct numerical simulation of a turbulent flow over an axisymmetric hill. Computers and Fluids, 95, 116-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2014.02.014

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a turbulent flow over an axisymmetric hill has been carried out to study the three-dimensional flow separation and reattachment that occur on the lee-side of the geometry. The flow Reynolds number is Re H=6500, ba... Read More about Direct numerical simulation of a turbulent flow over an axisymmetric hill.

Predicting film cooling performance of trailing–edge cutback turbine blades by detached–eddy simulation (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Effendy, M., Yao, Y., Yao, J., & Marchant, D. R. (2014). Predicting film cooling performance of trailing–edge cutback turbine blades by detached–eddy simulation. https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2014-0279

This paper describes numerical studies of the film cooling performance of cutback trailing-edge gas turbine blades using the detached eddy simulation (DES) approach, in order to improve results obtained by industry standard steady RANS and unsteady R...

Modelling conjugate flow and heat transfer in a ventilated room for indoor thermal comfort assessment (2014)
Journal Article
Horikiri, K., Yao, Y., & Yao, J. (2014). Modelling conjugate flow and heat transfer in a ventilated room for indoor thermal comfort assessment. Building and Environment, 77, 135-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2014.03.027

Conjugate natural and forced convection heat transfers in a domestic model room of finite-thickness walls and a heat source have been numerically studied. A 2-D non-ventilated square model room with a heat source is investigated at first for conditio...
