Abstract: A simplified physical model is developed for the motion of solid particles in gaseous streams confined by walls (channel or pipe flow). The equations of motion for the particle are solved and ...

Abstract: The development, form, and engineering applications of the transient equation of motion of rigid particles, bubbles, and droplets are presented. Some of the early work on the equation of motion, ...

Abstract: Binary-flashing units utilize new types of geothermal power cycles, which may be used with resources of relatively low temperatures (less than 150°C) where other cycles result in very low ...

Abstract: We examine wave characteristics of a liquid-vapor mixture in order to investigate certain features of the homogeneous relaxation model. The model is described by one-dimensional averaged mass, ...

Abstract: This work examines the upward natural or forced flow of geothermal fluids in liquid-dominated wells. The objective of the project is to develop a model that would adequately describe these ...

Abstract: The values of absolute exergy and exergetic efficiency depend on the assumed values of the “reference states,” which are essentially a model of the environment of the processes and components ...

Abstract: In a recent paper by Michaelides and Feng (1994) it was discovered that there are history terms in the unsteady heat conduction equation from a small sphere. The history terms are analogous ...
