Abstract: This article provides the author's perspectives on the current molecular-level understanding of thermophysical properties and transport processes in liquids. After illustrating peculiarities of the thermophysical properties ...

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of blasting vibrations generated by the drilling and blasting method of the land section of an urban submarine tunnel, which has a great impact on the safety of the surrounding building ...

Abstract: he mean meridional circulation of the atmosphere is presented using the mass (more specifically, the pressure corresponding to the mass) above the isentrope of interest as the vertical coordinate. In this vertical coordinate, ...

Abstract: The dependence of pixel-scale cloud-cover frequency distribution on cloud size and pixel size is examined through Monte Carlo simulations. A shape parameter, which describes the shape of the frequency distribution, is found ...

Abstract: Similar to mechanical forces that can induce profound biological effects, magnetic fields can have a broad range of implications to biological systems, from magnetoreception that allows an organism to detect a magnetic ...

Abstract: This article reflects on the author's research career, which has focused on heat and energy. It details the challenges faced by the author and his research group, highlights their successes and failures, and explores some ...

Abstract: Water-lubricated rubber bearings (WLRBs) are widely used in the propulsion systems of ships and military crafts. Based on the mass conservation boundary condition, the elastohydrodynamic lubrication model of WLRBs is ...

Abstract: Water-lubricated rubber bearings are widely used in the propulsion shafting of military craft and ships. These bearings may wear down after a period of service, and consequently, their lubrication characteristics will ...

Abstract: Exergy represents the maximum useful work possible when a system at a specific state reaches equilibrium with the environmental dead state at temperature To. Correspondingly, the exergy difference between two states is the ...

Abstract: Realistic time history simulation of drilled pier/pile-soil systems under dynamic and static loading is essential for the development of effective performance-based earthquake designs of deep foundations. This paper presents ...
