School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering UNDERGRADUATE SEMINAR, Friday, 12th Oct 2012 LIST OF ABSTRACTS Salam ABBAS (Saeed Maleksaeedi/Andrew Ruys) Gelcasting of ZTA for the Purpose of Hip Replacements One of the major problems associated with ceramic-ceramic hip replacements currently available on the market is the brittle nature of ceramics. ZTA is being developed as an improvement material to be applied to ceramic-ceramic hip replacements. This thesis focuses on optimising the properties of ZTA for the target application. Abdul Haadi ABDUL MANAP (Ahmad Jabbarzadeh) Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Newtonian flow around a periodic array of cylinders particle in a confined channel in nano-scale. In this thesis show the computational analysis using molecular dynamic simulations of Newtonian flow in rectangular channel over a cylindrical in nano-scale. A linear periodic array of nano-cylinder will be place in a nano-channel. The effect of the molecular size and ratio of particle to the channel size on the flow condition will be investigated. Azwan ADAM (Dries Verstraete) Aero-thermal Effects in Micro Gas Turbines Micro gas turbines have become one of the technologies that experience a growing interest for the past decades. Due to its large power density, the micro gas turbines have become very attractive for propulsion of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as well as for portable power units. However, there are a few aero – thermal issues surrounding the miniaturisation of gas turbines. Thus, this thesis will focus on investigating the effects of heat transfer on the performance of a micro gas turbine.
