Abstract: The effect of temperature on flow and pollutant dispersion around an isolated building was investigated by computational fluid dynamics. First, the accuracy of the standard

Abstract: An abnormal friction law refers to the case where the friction force does not increase monotonically with the normal pressure. We investigate the possibility of abnormal tribological behavior ...

Abstract: When two material surfaces are brought into contact, the classical Amonton’s law predicts a monotonically increasing relation between the frictional force and the normal pressure. An abnormal ...

Abstract: The analysis in part I of this series is extended to the case of inclined and randomly distributed multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) rafts that are brought into contact. The MWCNTs are modeled ...

Abstract: Nanoparticles have emerged as promising adsorbents for water purification. In this study, nanoscale carbon black was employed to remove natural organic matter (NOM) from water in the presence and absence of coagulation. ...

Abstract: Increasing sewage sludge production has become a new environmental problem in China because of its huge amounts of sludge, heavy metal concentrations, and potential pathogen risk. Composting with appropriate bulking agents ...

Abstract: We conclude on the governing mechanism of burn-through and identify the area of highest risk for burn-through occurrence due to a specific combination of loading in this area. In order to investigate the mechanism of ...
