The impact of cultural aspects on the design process (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Felgen, L., Grieb, J., Lindemann, U., Pulm, U., Chakrabati, A., & Vijaykumar, G. (2004, May). The impact of cultural aspects on the design process. Presented at DESIGN 2004, the 8th International Design Conference, Dubrovnick, Croatia

Due to increasing globalisation, the development of products is no longer restricted to one place, it is more and more characterised by distributed design teams, who work in different places, time zones or cultures. In order to support intercultural... Read More about The impact of cultural aspects on the design process.

A design tool for predicting the performances of light pipes (2004)
Journal Article
Jenkins, D., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2005). A design tool for predicting the performances of light pipes. Energy and Buildings, 37(5), 485-492. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2004.09.014

Light pipes are simple means of directing daylight (diffuse and direct light) into interior spaces. Previous work by the authors described the initial work on a luminous flux and illuminance predictive model for straight light pipes, using a basic eq...

Cavitation Properties of Oils Under Dynamic Stressing by Tension (2004)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2004). Cavitation Properties of Oils Under Dynamic Stressing by Tension. Journal of Fluids Engineering, 127(2), 282. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1881692

We report measurements of the effective tensile strength FcFc of commercial “multigrade” oils (in the SAE viscosity grades 5W-30 and 10W-40) over a range of temperatures TT, which are representative of those encountered under their normal operating c...

Rheology of multigrade engine oils in high deformation rate extensional flows (2004)
Journal Article
Barrow, M. S., Brown, S. W. J., Cordy, S., Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2004). Rheology of multigrade engine oils in high deformation rate extensional flows. International Journal of Engine Research, 5(4), 349-364. https://doi.org/10.1243/146808704323224240

An experimental study is reported of liquid jets formed by the collapse of bubbles under cavitation-generated pressure waves. The results reveal that jets formed from samples of commercial multigrade engine oils experience an extensional flow which i...

Rheology of Dilute Polymer Solutions and Engine Lubricants in High Deformation Rate Extensional Flows Produced by Bubble Collapse (2004)
Journal Article
Barrow, M. S., Brown, S. W. J., Cordy, S., Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2004). Rheology of Dilute Polymer Solutions and Engine Lubricants in High Deformation Rate Extensional Flows Produced by Bubble Collapse. Journal of Fluids Engineering, 126(2), 162. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1667889

We report a study of liquid jets formed by the collapse of bubbles under cavitationgenerated pressure waves. Such jets involve an extensional flow which is characterized by high rates of extension, the latter being relevant to considerations of the f...

A study of transient processes in a closed vessel due to injection of hot liquid sprays (2004)
Journal Article
Valha, J., Lewis, J., & Kubie, J. (2004). A study of transient processes in a closed vessel due to injection of hot liquid sprays. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 47(12-13), 2877-2882. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2004.01.005

An experimental study to investigate the transient processes which occur when hot liquid spray droplets are suddenly injected into a gas contained in a closed chamber was reported previously [Proc. Inst. Mech. Eng. 215E (2001) 79]. That work also pre... Read More about A study of transient processes in a closed vessel due to injection of hot liquid sprays.
