Abstract: The stability of fully developed, parallel flow in a rigid, concentric annulus to infinitesimal disturbances is analyzed. It is found that the annular flow is spatially stable to axisymmetric ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation of a technique for the measurement of surface roughness of “ground” surfaces using fiber-optics. A pair of fiber-optic bundles of similar ...

Abstract: Neat vegetable oils pose some problems when subjected to prolonged usage in CI engine. These problems are attributed to high viscosity, low volatility and polyunsaturated character of the neat ...

Abstract: The title of this paper should read “Effect of Biodiesel Utilization on Wear of Vital Parts in Compression Ignition Engine” (“Effect of Biodiesel Utilization on Wear[[ellipsis]]” instead of ...

Abstract: Dynamic response of shallow buried tunnel with three different cross sections subjected to surface blast loading using LS-DYNA version R10.1.0 is investigated. Multimaterial arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MM-ALE) is employed ...

Abstract: Biodiesel is prepared using linseed oil and methanol by the process of transesterification. Use of linseed oil methyl ester (LOME) in a compression ignition engine was found to develop a highly ...

Abstract: The combustion related properties of vegetable oils are somewhat similar to diesel oil. Neat vegetable oils or their blends with diesel, however, pose various long-term problems in compression ...

Abstract: For a first in the United States, a 900-ft (275-m) deep, 6-ft (2-m) thick, swelling, eastern bituminous coal has been gasified successfully in situ. Under the direction of Morgantown Energy ...
