Abstract: This work is an extension and modification of the novel thermal cycle reported in the study “TechnoEconomic Evaluation of a Novel Thermal Cycle for Electricity Generation and Fresh Water Production From Solar Ponds.â€‌ ...

Abstract: Automotive connectors in modern car generations are submitted to high current; this can cause many problems and requires the minimization of their electrical contact resistances. The new major ...

Abstract: In this article, a numerical scheme is developed for the solution of sixth-order boundary value problems (BVP). The Haar collocation method is developed for both linear and nonlinear boundary value problems. In this method, ...

Abstract: Waves can cause significant accumulation of pore water pressure and liquefaction in seabed soils, leading to instability of foundations of marine hydrokinetic devices (MHKs). Geostatic shear stresses (existing around ...

Abstract: The mixed convective heat transfer of a micropolar nanofluid in a square lid-driven cavity has been numerically studied. The lid is thermally insulated, the side walls are kept cold, and the bottom wall is kept hot with ...

Abstract: This paper presents the viscoelastic analytical solution for stress and displacement due to prescribed time-varying changes in the pore fluid pressure of a disk-shaped inclusion embedded within a semi-infinite, viscoelastic ...

Abstract: This study investigated active and passive lateral earth pressure in the presence of anisotropic seepage conditions. The soil was assumed to be granular and fully saturated. Three methods were used to solve the problem: ...

Abstract: For start-up of tubular solid oxide fuel cells preheating concepts of gas heating, induction heating, sequential hybrid of gas and induction heating and concurrent hybrid of gas and induction ...
