Abstract: An experimentally validated computer simulation model has been developed for the analysis of gas-phase and droplet characteristics of isothermal sprays generated by pressure jet atomizers. Employing ...

Abstract: The need for obtaining estimates of undrained shear strength of shallow seafloor sediments often arises in offshore engineering practice. Impact penetrometers offer a promising means of obtaining strength estimates in such ...

Abstract: Plunge-turning processes of round-edged cutters is analyzed and its cutting force modeled in the light of a general theory of non-free cutting developed by the authors. In this study the whole ...

Abstract: Two-phase oil-water flows in a 10-cm-dia horizontal pipe have been experimentally investigated to study the effect of surfactant on oil-water distributions. Results show that at input water cut ...

Abstract: The transport and deposition of nanoparticles, i.e., dp=1–2nm, or equivalent vapors, in the human nasal cavities is of interest to engineers, scientists, air-pollution regulators, and healthcare ...

Abstract: The mechanics of impact by a high-speed liquid jet onto a solid surface covered by a liquid layer is described. After the liquid jet contacts the liquid layer, a shock wave is generated, ...

Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between the sediment resisting force and embedment depth for horizontal cylinders in a vertical trench. Plane-strain calculations of collapse loads are performed for a series of ...

Abstract: In a half fuselage assembly process, shape control is vital for achieving ultra-high-precision assembly. To achieve better shape adjustment, we need to determine the optimal location and force of each actuator to push or ...
