Abstract: In a recent paper (1) modeling of viscous dissipation in fluid-saturated porous media is considered. This Comment concerns the energy conservation formulation of natural or mixed convection ...

Abstract: Adjoint methods integrated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools can be used to tackle geometric optimization in processes and equipment in an industrial environment. This work presents a workflow for geometric ...

Abstract: Heatlines were proposed in 1983 by Kimura and Bejan (1983) as adequate tools for visualization and analysis of convection heat transfer. The masslines, their equivalent to apply to convection ...

Abstract: In the last decades, the long-term structural health monitoring of civil structures has been mainly performed using two approaches: model based and data based. The former approach tries to identify damage by relating the ...

Abstract: AbstractA vertically pointing radar for monitoring radar brightband height (BBH) has been developed. This new radar utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) techniques to provide high-resolution data at a ...

Abstract: Bacterial profile, nutrients removal performance, and membrane fouling behavior were evaluated in an anoxic/oxic electro-membrane bioreactor (A/O e-MBR) treating municipal wastewater at different hydraulic retention times ...
