Critical Review on Design, Fabrication and Analysis of Marine Propeller
Abstract: Ships and automated underwater vehicles like submarine and torpedoes use propeller for propulsion. The significance of propellers is to develop thrust to propel the vehicle at its operational speed. The propeller geometry and design is complicated involving many controlling parameters. Propeller with canonical isotropic materials creates more vibration and noise during their operation which is undesirable in stealth point of view. The present work is aimed at the static and …

Theoretical and Experimental Research of Phenomena Arising in a Vessel Containing the Bubbles Dissolved in the Fluid and the Air above Surface of Fluid under Impact of Vibration in the Acoustic Range both in the Terrestrial and Decreasing Acceleration of Gravity Conditions
Abstract: Under terrestrial conditions, gravitational forces prevent to obtain materials that are homogeneous in distribution components and phases. Strong thermo gravitational unsteady convection leads to instability of crystals growth parameters and limits the possibilities of obtaining the crystals with a high degree of homogeneity and perfect parity structures. The first results of crystals growth in microgravity showed the fundamental possibility of producing more advanced crystals due to the absence of gravitational …

A Ventilated Dual-Function Photonic–Phononic Metasurface for Simultaneous Passive Radiative Cooling and Low-Frequency Noise Mitigation in Building Envelopes: Conceptual Design and Computational Feasibility Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic metamaterials for sound insulation and photonic/radiative-cooling metamaterials for passive thermal management have each matured separately for building-envelope retrofit, but existing studies address ventilation, acoustic damping and radiative thermal control in isolation, and no reported unit-cell architecture co-designs all three within a single shared structure. This gap persists because materials that are acoustic absorptive are generally dense and structurally opaque, whereas materials that are highly solar-reflective are conventionally applied to …

Studies on Electrical and Thermal Transport of InN based on Two Layer Model
Abstract: InN, a material of huge potential in device applications, is grown on sapphire substrate. But due to the high lattice mismatch between the sapphire and InN, the large number of dislocations develops near the interface between the two materials. However, the density of threading dislocation falls sharply in the bulk layer. The charge density has also similar variation. Therefore, the bulk InN crystal may be treated to be consisting of …
