A pilot study of an in-vitro bovine trachea model of the effect of continuous positive airway pressure breathing on airway surface liquid
White, DE; Nates, RJ; Bartley, J (BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) users frequently report troublesome symptoms of airway dryness and nasal congestion. Clinical investigations have demonstrated that supplementary humidification reduces ... -
Characterising the Heat and Mass Transfer Coefficients for a Crossflow Interaction of Air and Water
Enayatollahi, R; Nates, RJ; Anderson, T (Elsevier, 2017)An experimental study was performed in order to characterise the heat and mass transfer processes, where an air stream passes through a sheet of falling water in a crossflow configuration. To achieve this, the hydrodynamics ... -
Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of a Lightweight Sandwich Composite Structure for Solar Central Receiver Heliostats
Fadlallah, SO; Anderson, TN; Nates, RJCentral tower concentrating solar power systems are moving to the forefront to become the technology of choice for generating renewable electricity, but their widespread implementation is limited by cost. Heliostats ... -
The Impact of the Parabolic Dish Concentrator on the Wind Induced Heat Loss From Its Receiver
Uzair, M; Anderson, TN; Nates, RJ (Elsevier, 2017)Abstract To achieve higher operating temperatures, power output and system efficiencies in parabolic dish cavity receivers, larger dish sizes and structures are used to increase the concentration ratio. This increases ... -
Model demonstrates functional purpose of the nasal cycle
White, DE; Bartley, J; Nates, RJ (BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Despite the occurrence of the nasal cycle being well documented, the functional purpose of this phenomenon is not well understood. This investigation seeks to better understand the physiological objective of ... -
Model Demonstrates Functional Purpose of the Nasal Cycle
White, DE; Bartley, J; Nates, RJ (BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)Background: Despite the occurrence of the nasal cycle being well documented, the functional purpose of this phenomenon is not well understood. This investigation seeks to better understand the physiological objective of ... -
Modelling of GTAW Weld Pool under Marangoni Convection
Nates, RJ; Wang, G; Pasang, T (SCENZ-IChemE, 2013)With several different fusion welding processes, the melted weld pool profile which ultimately solidifies to form the fusion zone, diverging greatly by a wide variety of factors, e.g. base material, workpiece size, machine ... -
Pilot study into the causes of airway drying during continuous positive air pressure breathing
White, DE; Nates, RJ; Bartley, J (Curran Associates, Inc. (Jan 2015), 2014)The airway surface liquid (ASL) lining the upper respiratory tract has an essential role in heat and moisture exchange, as well as having an important role in airway defense. Continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) users ... -
Reducing Heat Loss From Solar Hot Water Storage Tanks Using Passive Baffles
Paing, ST; Anderson, TN; Nates, RJ (Elsevier BV, 2022)Solar water heating systems with thermal storage are one of the simplest ways of reducing energy demand for domestic water heating. Over the years, researchers have attempted to improve the thermal performance of storage ... -
The Use of Passive Baffles to Increase the Yield of a Single Slope Solar Still
Benhadji Serradj, DE; Anderson, TN; Nates, RJ (Elsevier BV, 2021)Despite their relative simplicity, single slope solar stills remain one of the most viable solutions to the production of freshwater from saline and non-potable water sources. Over the years, numerous researchers have ...
