Abstract The α-universal triple I (α-UTI) method is a recognized scheme in the field of fuzzy reasoning, which was proposed by our research group previously. The robustness of fuzzy reasoning determines the quality of reasoning algorithms to a large extent, which is quantified by calculating the disparity between the output of fuzzy reasoning with interference and the output without interference. Therefore, in this study, the interval robustness (embodied as the interval stability) of the α-UTI method is explored in the interval-valued fuzzy environment. To begin with, the stability of the α-UTI method is explored for the case of an individual rule,… More >

Abstract Metallic alloys for a given application are usually designed to achieve the desired properties by devising experiments based on experience, thermodynamic and kinetic principles, and various modeling and simulation exercises. However, the influence of process parameters and material properties is often non-linear and non-colligative. In recent years, machine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising tool to deal with the complex interrelation between composition, properties, and process parameters to facilitate accelerated discovery and development of new alloys and functionalities. In this study, we adopt an ML-based approach, coupled with genetic algorithm (GA) principles, to design novel copper alloys for achieving… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In this study, the characteristics of heat transfer on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Casson nanofluid over an exponentially accelerated vertical porous plate with rotating effects were investigated. The flow was driven by the combined effects of the magnetic field, heat radiation, heat source/sink and chemical reaction. Copper oxide () and titanium oxide () are acknowledged as nanoparticle materials. The nondimensional governing equations were subjected to the Laplace transformation technique to derive closed-form solutions. Graphical representations are provided to analyze how changes in physical parameters, such as the magnetic field, heat radiation, heat source/sink and chemical reaction, affect the velocity, temperature… More >

Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the interfacial and the frictional properties of copper (Cu) reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) filament. This Cu-Embedded PET filament will be used as an information transmitter. This filament was prepared by a co-extrusion process. Mechanical properties of these filaments have been quantified by tensile and pull-out analyses. It is shown that the mechanical properties of composite filament were improved by adding the copper filament (from 0.82 to 1.2 GPa). The results of the pull-out test revealed some adhesion between the copper and the PET despite the existence of a slippage of the copper… More >

Abstract Electrical and chemical compatibility requirements of electronic components pose significant constraints on the choice of liquid coolants. Dielectric coolants such as Novec fluids and fluoroinerts are plagued by poor thermal properties. This necessitates the development of new heat transfer fluids. In this study we examine mixture formulations that provide an avenue for enhancing the properties of existing heat transfer fluids. Mixture formulations of Novec fluid (HFE 7200) with Methanol and Ethoxybutane are considered. Pool boiling experiments are performed on a copper nanowire surface. The results show an improvement of 24% and 11% in the CHF of HFE 7200 – Methanol… More >

Abstract This study experimentally investigates single phase heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a shallow rectangular microchannel heat sink whose surface is enhanced with copper nanowires (CuNWs). The hydraulic diameter of the channel is 672 μm and the bottom wall is coated with Cu nanowires (CuNWs) of 200 nm in diameter and 50 μm in length. CuNWs are grown on the Cu heat sink by electrochemical synthesis technique which is inexpensive and readily scalable. The heat transfer and pressure drop results of CuNWs enhanced heat sink are compared with that of bare copper surface heat sink using deionized (DI) water… More >

Abstract This article presents new experimental results for two-phase flow boiling of R-134a, R-1234ze(E) and R-245fa in a micro-evaporator. The test section was made of copper and composed of 52 microchannels 163μm wide and 1560μm high with the channels separated by 178μm wide fins. The channels were 13.2mm long. There were 35 local heaters and temperature measurements arranged in a 5×7 array as a pseudo-CPU. The total pressure drops of the test section were below 20kPa in all cases. The wall heat transfer coefficients were generally above 10’000W/m²K and a function of the heat flux, vapor quality and mass flux. A… More >

Abstract Advanced spreaders for cooling a 10 x 10 mm underlying computer chip with a central hot spot (CHS) could remove > 85 W of dissipated thermal power at junctions’ temperature < 100o C. The spreaders comprise a 1.6 - 3.2 mm thick Cu substrate and an 80-μm thick micro-porous copper (MPC) surface cooled by saturation nucleate boiling of PF-5060 dielectric liquid. Investigated are the effects of varying the heat flux at the chip’s 1 and 4 mm² CHS and the impedance of thermal interface material (TIM) between the Cu substrate and underlying chip. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the MPC… More >

Abstract Speech emotion recognition (SER) uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions. The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high, so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system. The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy. First, we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals. Then, we employ a multi-objective ranking method to evaluate these features and… More >

Abstract Habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a crop of economic relevance in the Peninsula of Yucatan. Its fruits have a high level of capsaicinoids compared to peppers grown in other regions of the world, which gives them industrial importance. Soil is an important factor that affects pepper development, nutritional quality, and capsaicinoid content. However, the effect of soil type on fruit development and capsaicinoid metabolism has been little understood. This work aimed to compare the effect of soils with contrasting characteristics, black soil (BS) and red soil (RS), on the expression of genes related to the development of fruits, and… More >
