Abstract: This paper studies the bifurcation of a rigid rotor supported by a gas film bearing. A time-dependent mathematical model for gas journal bearings is presented. The finite differences method and ...

Abstract: A linear stability analysis has been carried out for hydromagnetic current-induced flow. A viscous electrically conducting fluid between concentric cylinders is driven electromagnetically by the ...

Abstract: Anisothermal flow prevails in a heated microchannel. It is desirable to understand the influence of temperature-dependent physical properties on the flow and heat transfer characteristics for ...

Abstract: In this paper, the mixed convective heat transfer phenomena in a three-dimensional channel with one heating-element is studied. A general-purpose computer program is developed to analyze the flow ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional inverse analysis utilizes a different perspective to estimate the surface thermal behavior of the working roll in rolling process. The inverse analysis is based on the ...

Abstract: This paper studies the nonlinear dynamic analysis of a flexible rotor supported by externally pressurized porous gas journal bearings. A time-dependent mathematical model for externally pressurized ...

Abstract: Analyzing the dynamic behavior of microelectrostatic devices is problematic due to the complexity of the interactions between the electrostatic coupling effect, the fringing field effect, the ...

Abstract: A perturbation method is used to investigate analytically the nonlinear stability behavior of a thin micropolar liquid film flowing down a vertical plate. In this analysis, the conservation of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the inverse heat transfer problem of laminar forced convection within a circular pipe. The performances of two classical algorithms used in the whole domain function ...
