Abstract: Flow of a fluid through a parallel channel is one of the simplest types of flow. However, the equations of flow and energy are far from simple and can only be solved in a closed form in ...

Abstract: Previously, solutions of the problem of the Rayleigh-type bearing with a step which is not straight have involved the use of the electrolytic tank or the use of relaxation methods, both of ...

Abstract: Using relaxation methods, accurate solutions are presented for the hydrodynamic pocket bearing. These are compared with an approximate solution. It is found that the latter gives quite accurate ...

Abstract: In this research work, the tribological performance of oil mist lubrication (pure mist), as applied to rolling element bearings, was investigated. In the first part of this research, tests were ...

Abstract: A computer analysis of the thermal performance of a desiccant cooling cycle in which the cooled air, passing to the space to be conditioned, has not been in contact with the desiccant. It ...

Abstract: The effects of free thermal expansion on the performance of infinitely wide slider bearings are investigated and several numerical examples are computed which show conclusively that thermal ...

Abstract: An iterative method of calculating the steady-state pressure and temperature distributions in the fluid film for infinitely wide slider bearings is presented. The bearing profile is assumed to ...

Abstract: The coupled elastic and hydrodynamic equations describing the transient behavior of a low capacity lubricant pumping and sealing device known as an oil pumping ring assembly have been solved ...

Abstract: Heat and mass transfer analysis between a desiccant-air contact system in a packed tower has been studied in application to air dehumidification employing liquid desiccant, namely calcium chloride. ...
