Applying refractive beam shapers to improve other beam shaping techniques (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Laskin, A., Williams, G., McWilliam, R., & Laskin, V. (2010, August). Applying refractive beam shapers to improve other beam shaping techniques. Presented at Laser Beam Shaping XI, San Diego, California, USA

Refractive beam shapers of the field mapping type find use in various industrial, scientific and medical applications, where generation of a collimated beam of uniform intensity is required. Due to their unique features, such as: low output divergenc... Read More about Applying refractive beam shapers to improve other beam shaping techniques.

Energy Generation from bio-wastes in a brewery – A case study (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sturm, D. B., Wang, D. Y., Ammar, D. Y., & Roskilly, P. T. (2010, August). Energy Generation from bio-wastes in a brewery – A case study. Paper presented at 9th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies, Shanghai, China

Environmental concerns over increasing green house gas emission and tightening legislative requirements and financial constrains are currently changing the industrial world. As a result, many companies are seeking solutions to reduce their fossil fue... Read More about Energy Generation from bio-wastes in a brewery – A case study.

Inertial two- and three-dimensional thin film flow over topography (2010)
Journal Article
Veremieiev, S., Thompson, H., Lee, Y., & Gaskell, P. (2011). Inertial two- and three-dimensional thin film flow over topography. Chemical Engineering and Processing: Process Intensification, 50(5-6), 537-542. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cep.2010.08.008

The effect of inertia on gravity-driven thin film free-surface flow over substrates containing topography is considered. Flow is modelled using a depth-averaged form of the governing Navier–Stokes equations and the discrete analogue of the coupled eq...

Comparative study of performance and emissions of a diesel engine using Chinese pistache and jatropha biodiesel (2010)
Journal Article
Huang, J., Wang, Y., Qin, J.-B., & Roskilly, A. P. (2010). Comparative study of performance and emissions of a diesel engine using Chinese pistache and jatropha biodiesel. Fuel Processing Technology, 91(11), 1761-1767. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuproc.2010.07.017

An experimental study of the performances and emissions of a diesel engine is carried out using two different biodiesels derived from Chinese pistache oil and jatropha oil compared with pure diesel. The results show that the diesel engine works well... Read More about Comparative study of performance and emissions of a diesel engine using Chinese pistache and jatropha biodiesel.

A methodology for quantitative estimates for the work and disturbance transformation matrices (2010)
Journal Article
Matthews, P. C., & Lomas, C. D. (2010). A methodology for quantitative estimates for the work and disturbance transformation matrices. Journal of Engineering Design, 21(4), 413-425. https://doi.org/10.1080/09544820802310909

Modern design projects are typically undertaken concurrently in a virtual enterprise network of expert design and manufacture agents. The general need for agile response in turbulent environments is well documented and has been analysed at the manufa...

Comparison between coupled and uncoupled consolidation analysis of a rigid sphere in a porous elastic infinite space (2010)
Journal Article
Osman, A. (2010). Comparison between coupled and uncoupled consolidation analysis of a rigid sphere in a porous elastic infinite space. Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 136(8), 1059-1064. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29em.1943-7889.0000149

Linear consolidation analyses are usually treated either by means of Terzaghi-Rendulic uncoupled theory or Biot's consolidation theory. In this note, the problem of consolidation displacements around an axially loaded sphere was considered. It is dem...
