TL;DR: The purpose of this study is to introduce and demonstrate a fully automated process for optimizing the airfoil cross-section of a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) to maximize the torque while enforcing typical wind turbine design constraints such as tip speed ratio, solidity, and blade profile.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight experimental evidence for the fact that both electrochemical and photoelectrochemical (PEC) reduction scenarios have similar chemical and morphological underpinnings in the in situ formation of copper nano- or microcubes on the (photo)cathode surface.

TL;DR: The results show that substantial cooling could be achieved in conjunction with neck cooling if the blood speed in the carotid artery is reduced from normal by a factor of 10, and suggest that additional cooling means should be explored, such as cooling of other pertinent parts of the human anatomy.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer (convection-conduction) prediction codes were developed where the compressible turbulent flow Navier-Stokes equations are solved simultaneously in the flow-field and in the solid material of the structure thus automatically predicting correct magnitudes and distribution of surface temperatures and heat fluxes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the p-version least squares finite element method was used for prediction of solidification from a melt under the influence of an externally applied magnetic field, and the computational results indicated significantly different flow-field patterns and thermal fields in the melt and the accrued solid in the cases of full gravity, reduced gravity, and an applied uniform magnetic field.
