Abstract: This paper presents a design algorithm for radial vortex amplifiers. The algorithm allows radial vortex amplifiers to be designed for high performance in terms of Turn Down Ratio and Cutoff ...

Abstract: It is common in the analysis of fluid film bearings to neglect the effect of convective fluid inertia. There has been some interest in recent years as to the validity of this assumption in ...

Abstract: In preparation for renegotiation of contracts with its haulers, the Broward County, Fla., waste management authority commissioned a sample survey designed to produce a “statistically defensible” estimate of the total weight ...

Abstract: Recent developments in magnesium alloys, processing techniques, and corrosion protection schemes are reviewed. The casting alloy WE43 is detailed, data being presented showing that it compares ...

Abstract: This paper presents two rule-based models based on fuzzy set theory, which can be used to approximately predict the adsorption of nickel and zinc in soils. The models consider organic matter content, cation exchange capacity, ...
