Advances in Engineering Research: Volume 7

This book covers leading-edge research in a cross-section of fields centring on engineering applications including current research data on hydrostatic pressure on foodstuffs; fault impact on buried steel pipelines; modelling the reaction kinetics in a food extruder; technologies for depth measurement in images; metrology for additive manufacturing; VLSI architecture based on two-dimensional radon transform computation; hotspot identification by a binary model; evaluation of an aermod dispersion model for mercury emissions from an urban area; extracting adhesion properties of organic thin films on compliant substrates using a scratch test technique; and uncertainty and sensitivity analyses on predicted concentrations during application of biosolids on agriculture fields.
