Design of a Portable Device to Detect Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Water
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
PFAS or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of man made chemicals used since the 1940s. The chemicals are highly stable and build up in the environment and organic systems. They can also cause several health ...
The friction effect in the flaw distribution determination by the hardness indentation test.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
Computer optimization of dry and wet/dry cooling tower systems for large fossil and nuclear power plants.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978)
Motivating sustainable behavior through cognitive interventions in product design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Designing products to encourage sustainable behavior during their use can have a significant influence on their total environmental impact. Cognitive interventions can be used to inform users of the importance of sustainable ...
An immersed interface method for incompressible flow with moving boundaries and high order time integration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In this work we present a novel Immersed Interface Method (IIM) for simulating two dimensional incompressible flows involving moving rigid bodies immersed in an unbounded fluid domain. To do so, we solve the Navier-Stokes ...
Project-based manufacturing : an approach for quote development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Project-based manufacturing presents unique challenges that highly automated and repetitive production lines do not face. Highly automated production lines do not have much variation in the types of products that are made, ...
Development and validation of a systems-level cost optimization tool for solar-powered drip irrigation systems for smallholder farms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Drip irrigation is a micro-irrigation technology that has been shown to conserve water and significantly increase crop yield. This technology could be particularly beneficial to the world's estimated 500 million smallholder ...
Experimental verification of biomimetically designed ventral fins for AUVs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Biomimetics, nature inspiring technology, is the concept of imitating nature models for the purpose of solving complex problems [1]. Finding the right analogs from biology to technology, transferring, and applying them ...
Using image processing methods for a radar estimate of marine vehicle odometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Independent navigation verification is an important function in navigation. The current state of the art is to manually plot radar ranges or visual lines of bearing to landmarks that are distinguishable both on the sensor ...
