Abstract: In this work, an innovative lobe-type rear variable area bypass injector is proposed, which can take into account both mixing exhaust performance to increase thrust at a high Bypass Ratio (BR), and bypass throttling at low ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for analyzing volatile organic compound (VOC) diffusion through intact composite landfill liners for two scenarios with boundary conditions at the base of either a VOC concentration of ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions for conservative solute diffusion in one-dimensional double-layered porous media are presented in this paper. These solutions are applicable to various combinations of fixed solute concentration and ...

Abstract: In bidding for construction projects, a contractor often uses the simple method of adding a combined rate of overheads and markup on top of the estimated direct cost for arriving at a bid. If the rate is subjectively ...

Abstract: Summer monsoon rainfall supplies over 55% of annual precipitation to global monsoon regions. As shown by more than 70% of models, including 30 models from CMIP5 and 30 models from CMIP6 under high-emission scenarios, North ...

Abstract: Progressive hedging is a scenario-based decomposition method that can be applied to solve the stochastic unit commitment problem. Progressive hedging is not guaranteed to converge to the global optimal solution since unit ...

Abstract: To support the design of a two-dimensional turbine blade profile with reduced shock loss, an efficient model for shock system with separation shock in highly loaded turbine cascade needed to be established to realize ...

Abstract: In this paper, an innovative approach is developed to consider the impacts of dynamic effect and deterioration on the seismic performance analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. Firstly, based on the dynamic ...
