(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2020)Microstrip patch antennas are useful for wireless communication as the technology is continuously evolving. Contacting types of microstrip patch antennas, coaxial-probe feeding, will be discussed and designed for the ... -
Numerical and experimental study of shock/turbulent flow interaction – A code validation test
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-12)A numerical code has been developed to solve the shock/turbulence interaction using grid adaptation technique. For the code validation test, shock wave propagations through nozzle are studied experimentally and numerically ... -
Numerical and experimental study on wave propagation in the open atmosphere
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2012-09)In the present research works, wave propagation in the open atmosphere has been investigated both numerically and experimentally. Two-dimensional (2D) numerical code has been developed to solve the Euler equations for the ... -
Numerical modelling of reverse pulse cleaning on rigid ceramic filters
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2005-03)Many industrial processes involve the generation of waste gases and particulates. Environmental legislation enacted as a result of government policy has compelled industry to pay a serious attention to the air pollution ... -
Numerical simulation of dust cake build-up and detachment on rigid ceramic filters for high temperature gas cleaning
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2004-03)Rigid ceramic filters have proved themselves as highly efficient gas filtration devices. However, the filter cleaning mechanisms by which deposited cake is removed from the filter surface are still not fully understood. ... -
Numerical simulation of the decay of grid-generated turbulence in a shock tube
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2014-06)The decay of the grid-generated turbulence has been investigated numerically by solving the time-dependent threedimensional Navier-Stokes equations with k-e turbulence model for a compressible fluid. Turbulence grids are ... -
Numerical study of an anisotropically supported rotor with parametric excitation
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, 2009-09)Anisotropic structures, e.g. oil journal bearings are often employed as supporting structure for rotating machineries. Moreover, cross-section of rotating element is often non-symmetrical due to various practical reasons. ... -
