Abstract: Experiments are performed to study forced convection water cooling of arrays of protruding heat sources with specified heat input. Each array has four rows, with three elements in each row. ...

Abstract: In the present paper, a methodology for interactive, graphical design of multispeed gearboxes has been developed. The synthesis process covers the design of the kinematic structure of a gearbox ...

Abstract: Evolution of various damage modes with time, in multidirectional laminates of a polymer composite (Hexcel F263-7/T300) subjected to a constant load, was experimentally studied and correlated to ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of coiling on the flow characteristics of R-407C in an adiabatic spiral capillary tube. The characteristic coiling parameter for a ...

Abstract: A computer algorithm for the selection of optimal depth‐diameter combinations for all links of a complete gravity wastewater collection system has been developed using dynamic programming. The algorithm incorporates two ...

Abstract: This paper is focused on design of dive maneuvers that can be performed outdoors on flapping wing air vehicles (FWAVs) with a minimal amount of on-board computing capability. We present a simple computational model that ...

Abstract: The optimization strategy for absorption chiller systems is generally based on thermodynamic analysis. However, the optimum, so obtained, does not always guarantee the economic optimum. In this ...

Abstract: The arch, as a structural element, has been used since ancient times, originally in stone or timber, more recently in reinforced concrete or steel. However, the more modern materials involving steel and concrete are highly ...

Abstract: This paper is mainly concerned about the pool boiling heat transfer behavior of multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) suspensions in water and water containing 9.0% by weight of sodium lauryl sulfate ...
