Simulation and experimental analysis of hovering and flight of a quadrotor (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Weerasinghe, R., & Monasor, M. (2017, July). Simulation and experimental analysis of hovering and flight of a quadrotor. Paper presented at HEFAT Conference, Slovenia

Quadcopters were the first heavier than air vertical take-off landing vehicles. Quadrotors have become increasingly popular in the recent years finding a great variety of applications in different fields such as surveillance and small goods transport...

Small engines as bottoming cycle steam expanders for internal combustion engines (2017)
Journal Article
Weerasinghe, R., & Hounsham, S. (2017). Small engines as bottoming cycle steam expanders for internal combustion engines. Journal of Combustion, 2017, Article 1742138

Heat recovery bottoming cycles for internal combustion engines have opened new avenues for research into small steam expanders [1]. Dependable data for small steam expanders will allow us to predict on their suitability as bottoming cycle engines and...

Thermoelectric cooling in downhole measuring tools (2017)
Book Chapter
Weerasinghe, R. (2017). Thermoelectric cooling in downhole measuring tools. In B. Achour, & Q. Wu (Eds.), Advances in Energy and Environment Research. Taylor and Francis

Thermoelectric cooling is a highly effective and a novel technique used for cooling solid state circuitry inside downhole measuring equipment. A Peltier device in a deep well measuring tool works as a heat pump. The understanding of the thermal behav... Read More about Thermoelectric cooling in downhole measuring tools.
