Abstract: Large nuclear power plants are becoming increasingly difficult to site and build. The solution, say some nuclear advocates, is to give up on gigawatt-scale, bespoke plants and—following in the footsteps of other energy ...

Abstract: No Abstarct Avilable.

Abstract: As sea level rise threatens cities across the globe, engineers are looking at relocating giant pieces of infrastructure to buoyant buildings, or very large floating structures. What had once seemed like an exercise in ...

Abstract: Relatively few Native Americans become engineers. The barriers to increasing those numbers are issues such as poverty, poor schools, and a lack of role models. In this article, Native American engineers talk about their ...

Abstract: Local and average Nusselt numbers and friction factors are presented for rectangular channels with an aspect ratio of 5 and angled rib turbulators inclined at 45 deg with parallel orientations ...

Abstract: In an attempt to understand the implications of Long's ?generalized dimensional analysis,? this method was applied to the problem of the wind distribution in the planetary boundary layer. The assumption was made that the ...

Abstract: In the study of wind profiles in the atmospheric surface layer it is important to distinguish between the speed of the mean vector wind |V|, which is equivalent to u WHEN THE x-axis is oriented in the downwind direction, ...

Abstract: A combined digital-analog mathematical model for the dynamic analysis of vertical U-tube natural-circulation steam generators is presented. The application of this model to the optimal design of ...

Abstract: Strength and deformation of clay‐unit masonry under uniaxial concentric compressive force were investigated. Biaxial tension‐compression tests of bricks and triaxial compression tests of mortar were done to establish ...
