4. Aerodynamic Design and Optimization of Intermediate Ducts for High By-pass Ratio Jet Engines
Abstract : Demands on improved efficiency and reduced noise levels cause a strive toward high by-pass ratio commercial aero engines. This results in multi-spool aero engines with small high-pressure ratio cores and large fans. The low-pressure system has a lower rotational speed and a larger radius than the high-pressure core system. READ MORE

5. Particle transport in human lung : effects of particle size and shape
Abstract : Recent studies have shown that nanoparticles may be more toxic than larger particles of the same material, but the health risks associated with widespread use largely depend on the extent of exposure. When dealing with potentially toxic particles, precautionary measures have to be taken in order to minimize contact. READ MORE
