Abstract: This study proposes a new method, namely the “fully wet and fully dry tiny circular fin method,” for analyzing the heat and mass transfer characteristics of plain fin-and-tube heat exchangers ...

Abstract: This study attempted to develop an effective alternative to remove perchlorate (

Abstract: Measurements of the pressure drops for water flowing in small diameter tubes having U-type wavy configuration are presented. The inner diameters of the test copper tubes (D) are 3.43, 5.07, ...

Abstract: Unbound granular materials (UGMs) are widely used as road-base and subbase materials for bearing traffic loading. Significant road settlements can be caused by cyclic traffic loading after several years of operation. To ...

Abstract: Although overpressure burst of pipeline with pressure-protection systems occurs infrequently in case of blockage, it endangers personnel safety and causes serious economic loss when it happens. Therefore, assessing the ...

Abstract: This study experimentally investigates the effect of circuitry on the refrigerant-side pressure drops of plate finned tube evaporators. Experiments were performed with countercross, parallel-cross, ...

Abstract: This study examines the refrigerant distribution of a dual cold-plate system subject to the influence of heating load, using a R-134a based vapor compression system with a nominal capacity ...

Abstract: The riserless drilling system (RDS) is a dual gradient drilling system. Offshore natural gas hydrate (NGH) drilling projects are often subject to various risks due to uncertainty factors (marine environment and complex ...

Abstract: This study examines the spreading ability of rectangular plates numerically, analytically, and experimentally. The effect of aspect ratio, defined as an equivalent radius of a heater divided by ...
