Ultra-Violet Degradation Behavior of Polymeric Backsheets of Photovoltaic Modules
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This study is designed to understand the ultra-violet (UV) degradation of polymeric backsheets used in PV modules. Commercial photovoltaic backsheets from four suppliers were UV-aged for up to 3000 hours. The aged samples ... -
Unsteady Aerodynamics and Turbulent Near-Wake Characterization of Static and Rotating Cylinder Sytems
(North Dakota State University, 2018)External flows around bluff bodies have been broadly investigated due to their great importance in engineering applications including aircraft and missile development, marine and naval structures, vehicle aerodynamics, ... -
The Use of Electrospun Soy Protein Isolate/Polyvinyl Alcohol Nanofibers for Controlled Drug Delivery As Well As Investigation Into Mass Production
(North Dakota State University, 2015)As the global movement progresses towards environmental awareness, industries are attempting to become less dependent on petroleum based materials. This study investigates the incorporation of Soy Protein Isolate (SPI) ... -
Utilization of Cold Spraying Technique to Develop Ni Based Composites Reinforced with Ni3Al Particulates
(North Dakota State University, 2015)This study was intended to investigate the capability of cold spraying deposition process as a near net shape forming technique to produce MMCs. P/M technique was used to fabricate MMCs in this study for the reason of ...
