Supersonic Ejector (SE) is a thermally-driven fluidic compressor that replaces the electro-mechanical compressor in Reverse-Rankine refrigeration/heat pump cycles. These widely used thermal cycles account for billions of kWh of electric energy and produce hundreds of millions of metric tons of...

Impinging jets are encountered in many ventilation systems, and these can have a major impact on the acoustic environment and energy performance. Self-sustaining tones produced by aero-acoustic coupling can occur in impinging jets when a feedback loop develops between the jet exit and the...

Ventilation systems in buildings are of vital importance for the provision of acceptable thermal conditions and air quality while meeting stringent energy requirements. When a rectangular jet hits a slotted plate, an acoustic disturbance can be generated and self-sustained tones produced....

Oil sands, found in Canada, Venezuela, USA and Russia, contain bitumen, water, clay and some metals. Two different methods of producing oil from oil sands exist: open-pit mining and in situ. Approximately 20% of oil sands are recoverable through open-pit mining. After oil sand is mined, bitumen...
