WE ARE A LEADER IN EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION AND INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH, FOCUSED ON ENGINEERING FOR SOCIETY
Welcome to Northeastern’s Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering The Department of Mechanial and Industrial Engineering has been on the rise through strategic hiring. As the department rises, a conducive environment has provided a platform for people to work hard and work happily. The addition of 20 new tenured/ tenure-track faculty members over four years, with no attrition to other universities, has propelled multiple research clusters in the department toward excellence. Supporting the fast rise is the growing financial resource. The department has started large-scale collaborations with major industrial companies including General Electric, Raytheon, and Northrop, while continuing the strong working relationship with federal and state agencies. The annual research award has gone up by 35% over four years. In parallel with the tenured/tenure-track faculty hires, the addition of nine teaching faculty members over four years has enabled educational excellence to advance even further. Undergraduate admissions has become ever more competitive, and the average SAT has reached 1450. The graduate student population has more than doubled over the same period. Some of our recent doctoral and post-doctoral graduates have started their tenure-track careers at Arizona State University, Mississippi State University, North Carolina State University, and University of Central Florida, to name a few. People are the center of focus at this department. We work hard and work happily, and take ownership of the department. As an example, Emeritus Professor and former Department Chair John W. Cipolla has given the department $100K to establish the John and Katharine Cipolla Graduate Student Support Fund. Strategic hiring, people focus, and preservation of a conducive environment have enabled people to work hard and work happily, and thereby work productively. Productive people naturally bring successes. Rising awareness of our successes is also a trend we note and appreciate. According to the US News and World Report, our mechanical engineering graduate program moved up 18 places to No. 39 in four years, while our industrial engineering graduate program has moved up four places to No. 32 during the same period. This momentum will continue through strategic growth. I invite alums and other stakeholders to join us in propelling this department even further, and also invite all to consider this department for your education or for research and development projects. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Hanchen Huang Donald W. Smith Professor and Department Chair h.huang@northeastern.edu

PSEUDO-POTENTIAL LATTICE BOLTZMANN MODEL FOR WETTABILITY GRADIENT-BASED MICRODROPLET MANIPULATION The focus of this work is wedge-patterned wettability gradient passive on-chip droplet manipulation. Specifically, this work investigated the effect of different droplet parameters, namely: wedge-surface relative wettability, pattern wedge angle, initial droplet position and gravitational acceleration on the droplet dynamic behavior on a numerical basis. To this end, we used the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM)-an alternative powerful method for solving fluid dynamics problems. See full dissertation at coe.neu.edu/17/AdebayoAdeniranAdebiyi
X-RAY GAS IONIZATION STUDIES WITH A SINGLEWALLED NANOTUBE (SWNT) SENSOR In this dissertation we start with an explanation of the different types of radiation that can be detected, describe how a radiation transport model was used to model the x-ray source in the experiments, and show how to calculate energy spectra and deposition in different materials. We investigate the mechanisms by which x-rays generate an electrical response in a conventional silicon-based diode radiation detector and the SWNT sensor. We then present an experimental setup that can be used to calibrate the SWNT sensor relative to the diode based on simulation data. The experiment involves distance variation, air pressure variation, and fill-gas variation. After a thorough analysis of sensor performance future avenues for improved design and evaluation are presented. See full dissertation at coe.neu.edu/17/PaulAsareAgyapong

LAMINAR BURNING SPEED MEASURMENTS OF METHANE /AIR/CARBON DIOXIDE MIXTURES
COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF COMPETITIVE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UNDER IMPERFECT INFORMATION
The experiments were conducted in a constant volume cylindrical chamber with the aid of a Z-shaped Schlieren/shadowgraph system. Pressure rise data during the flame propagation were recorded through pressure transducer on the cylindrical chamber wall and were the main input into the thermodynamic model used to measure the laminar burning speed. A high-speed CMOS camera capable of taking pictures up to 40,000 frames per second was used to determine the cellularity of the flame. See full dissertation at coe.neu.edu/17/MoazOmarAllehaibi
Governments and other large organizations are increasingly finding themselves contracting products and services to firms whose specialties align more closely than the original firm. To accomplish this, a number of resources are available for firms seeking to do business with large firms or governmental organizations. These customers solicit bids from prospective suppliers to meet their product or service needs, but often pay little attention to the interactions amongst the competitors during the competition. This can cause the products and services provided to be suboptimal either in performance or cost. From the perspective of the competitor, I present a number of models by which a complex competition can be envisioned which lead to improved decision-making even when a competitor does not possess complete information.

THE ROLE OF FREE-STREAM TURBULENCE ON HIGH PRESSURE TURBINE AERO-THERMAL STAGE INTERACTION
RESEALABLE, ULTRA-LOW LEAK MICRO VALVE USING SOLDER SEALING
Turbulence plays an important role on the aero-thermal performance of modern aircraft engine High Pressure Turbines (HPT). The role of the vane wake and passage turbulence on the downstream blade flow field is an important consideration for both performance and durability. Obtaining measurements to fully characterize the flow field can be challenging and costly in an experimental facility. Advances in computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling and High Performance Computing (HPC) are providing opportunity to close these measurement gaps. In order for CFD to be adopted, methods need to be both accurate and efficient. Meshing approaches must also be able to resolve complex HPT geometry while maintaining quality adequate for scale-resolved simulations.
MEMS valves typically actuate a flow-obstructing element to cover or uncover a gas flow path. This approach is prone to leakage, causing incomplete isolation across the valve. As a result, an exceptional open-to-closed flow rate ratio would be on the order of 10 6. The limited open-to-closed flow rate ratios of conventional MEMS valves limit their utility for higher vacuum systems. One reason for the relatively high leakage in conventional MEMS valves is that the roughness of the valves contact surfaces prevents leak-free seals. Liquid-based sealing offers an opportunity for improved sealing. See full dissertation at coe.neu.edu/17/ChenyeYang

ECONOMIC COMPARISON OF SELECTIVE LASER MELTING AND CONVENTIONAL SUBTRACTIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES As one of the leading techniques in additive manufacturing processes, selective laser melting (SLM) has shown great potential for commercialization and scale-up in various applications in industry. The ability to build near net shape end-usable products shows advantages in some cases, with more freedom in product design and processing; greater part complexity; and increased ability to structurally optimize parts that are manufactured directly from powder metal materials. In this study, cost analyses of selective laser melting process is compared with conventional subtractive manufacturing (SM) processes. A generic cost models for SLM and SM processing were developed, and several case studies are used to illustrate the conditions and drivers that demonstrate cost advantages for SLM processing. Factors such as production volume and raw material price are analyzed to investigate the influence on fabrication cost. See full dissertation at coe.neu.edu/17/ZhengdongLiu
