07 Mar 2015TL;DR: In 2014, the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology developed a five-week pre-engineering intensive summer program as discussed by the authors, which provided high school students with hands-on experience in the Robotics and Mechanics to advance them in the pursuit of a degree in engineering.
Abstract: In 2014, Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology has developed a five-week pre-engineering intensive summer program. The program provided high school students with hands-on experience in the Robotics and Mechanics to advance them in the pursuit of a degree in engineering. Correspondingly, the program also enhanced students' technical writing skills and the fundamental knowledge of mathematics and physics needed in engineering. Different from other pre-college engineering programs which focus more on mathematics and physics education, in this program, engineering and engineering project design and implementation have been intensively discussed through building and programming a mobile robot. High school students were encouraged to creatively develop their own project in a team while the collaborative learning and effective communication skill are particularly addressed. The student survey showed that the intensive summer program has increased students' comprehension of engineering and awareness towards engineering-related careers, which are critical for high school students to choose engineering as a future career.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new water-to-air motion pattern that combines morphing with power switch, under the conditions of which the vehicle needs a certain thrust to avoid falling back after jumping out of the water.
Abstract: This study proposes a new water-to-air motion pattern that combines morphing with power switch. Under the conditions of this pattern, the vehicle needs a certain thrust to avoid falling back after jumping out of the water. The minimum thrust is among the most important design parameters of a vehicle. The water-exit and take-off dynamic models of the vehicle are constructed through the force and motion analysis before and after morphing. The control model of the vehicle is created by analysing the control problem in the take-off motion. The minimum thrust at different initial water-exit angles is computed using the optimum searching algorithm. The following law is then established: the greater the initial water-exit angle, the smaller the minimum thrust required in the air. Such a relationship becomes insignificant when the initial water-exit angle exceeds 40°.

TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that the heat transfer rate to a silicon monoxide coated surface is less than that to a platinum surface when the flow outside the boundary layer is partially dissociated.
Abstract: Experimental results are presented, which show that the heat transfer rate to a silicon monoxide coated surface is less than that to a platinum surface when the flow outside the boundary layer is partially dissociated. It has been inferred, from these results, that the recombination coefficient for the platinum surface used in these tests, lies between 6 × 10 −4 and 6 × 10 −3 . It has also been concluded, from one particular set of tests, that the flow in the stagnation region was not in equilibrium and was only half dissociated. Suggestions are made for the construction of a probe to measure atom concentrations and relaxation times in short duration flows.

23 May 2015TL;DR: The experiment results show that the new algorithm can greatly improve the global convergence ability and enhance the rate of convergence.
Abstract: A new particle swarm optimization algorithm that based on two swarm's evolution is proposed In one swarm the linear decreasing weight is used, in the other swarm the random inertia weight is adopted The random disturbance is added to the formula of position update During the running time, a new swarm is generated by the contest of two swarm's evolution The ability of particle swarm optimization algorithm to break away from the local optimum is improved greatly The experiment results show that the new algorithm can greatly improve the global convergence ability and enhance the rate of convergence

01 Jul 1951TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model to cope with any arbitrary continuous velocity profile which varies from zero at the wall to a constant supersonic velocity in the main stream, and concluded that a simple inviscid theory is incapable of giving an adequate theoretical account of the phenomenon.
Abstract: The field of flow due to a shock wave or expansion wave undergoes a considerable modification in the neighbourhood of a rigid wall. It has been suggested that the resulting propagation of the disturbance upstream is largely due to the fact that the main flow in the boundary layer is subsonic. Simple models were produced by Howarth, and Tsien and Finston, to test this suggestion, assuming the co-existence of layers of uniform supersonic and subsonic main-stream velocities. The analysis developed in the present paper is designed to cope with any arbitrary continuous velocity profile which varies from zero at the wall to a constant supersonic velocity in the main stream. Numerical examples are calculated, and it is concluded that a simple inviscid theory is incapable of giving an adequate theoretical account of the phenomenon. The analysis includes a detailed discussion of the process of continuous wave reflexion in a supersonic shear layer.
