Abstract: A numerical study of the problem of heat transfer to the non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a vertical cone embedded in a porous medium has been investigated, taking into consideration the viscous dissipation effect. The ...

Abstract: Pressure vessels that undergo repairs are normally pressure tested to verify their structural integrity before returning into service. Conventionally, the entire vessel is pressure tested, according to the relevant ...

Abstract: A number of pressure-driven analysis (PDA)–based hydraulic solvers have been proposed in the literature to address issues of negative pressures estimated by demand-driven analysis (DDA) solvers. However, the PDA methods ...

Abstract: A parallel computational algorithm that models three-dimensional elastic wave scattering in an infinite pipe is introduced. The algorithm combines two procedures: a Wave Function Expansion (WFE) ...

Abstract: In this paper, transient three-dimensional response of a transversely isotropic composite plate to a time varying point load is efficiently computed by reducing the elastodynamic equation through ...

Abstract: Optimal design for pipelines layout is gaining further importance because of the increase in demand on oil and gas products. Due to the crucial importance of pipelines design, the need for optimization of pipelines layout ...
