Abstract: First steps have been taken to demonstrate the feasibility of reducing uncertainties in the use of differential producers. Given a suitable flow conditioner, discharge coefficients are shown to ...

Abstract: An explicit equation is developed for calculating jet area increase due to compressibility when the incompressible coefficient is known. If the latter is dependent on Reynolds number, Y must ...

Abstract: One of the parameters that directly affects the seismic demand on a bridge is the excitation angle of the ground motion. Since analyzing a bridge with all possible excitation angles is impractical, combination rules have ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overall view of the research and developments achieved during the generation of local risk-based criteria for design and assessment of platforms in Bay of Campeche. The ...

Abstract: A rational analysis describing the ultimate strength and behavior of reinforced concrete columns of linearly tapering cross section under axial load and end moments is presented. The conjugate beam method is used to calculate ...

Abstract: A nitrifying biomass was produced from anaerobic sludge dewatering liquors for the purpose of bioaugmentation of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). Nitrification of centrate was conducted at four temperatures (10, 20, 25, ...
