Abstract: It is with great pleasure that we present this special issue of the Journal of Heat Transfer, dedicated to Energy Nanotechnology. This focus area is the natural convergence of two subjects ...

Abstract: Interannual variability of the winter atmospheric river (AR) activities over the Northern Hemisphere is investigated. The leading modes of AR variability over the North Pacific and North Atlantic are first identified and ...

Abstract: A microbial transport study of

Abstract: With a multi-axial test machine, ratcheting was studied experimentally for pressurized low carbon steel elbows under reversed bending. The maximum ratcheting strain occurred mainly in the hoop ...

Abstract: Previous alliancing research has seldom addressed the implication of transaction costs and the impact of transaction attributes on transaction costs in project alliancing. Using multiple regression analysis on a sample of ...

Abstract: An isothermal journal bearing that incorporates heat-pipe cooling technology has been developed. The heat pipe can spread frictional heat rapidly along the bearing circumference, resulting in a ...

Abstract: This paper models road traffic demand of container trucks in a Chinese container port. The model is helpful for road planning and traffic management in the port. First, we analyze the attributes of road traffic in the port, ...

Abstract: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) glaciers have been consistently retreating for decades and accelerating their retreat in recent years. It would impact the river water resources that originate from the QTP, such as the ...

Abstract: Based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations and the Shiono and Knight method, this paper describes the development of an analytical model to predict the lateral distribution of depth-averaged velocities in steady ...
