Abstract: Environmental issues are becoming an increasingly important consideration in the design of a facility. In many cases, a facility's life cycle must now include a disposal phase that addresses the facility's physical removal ...

Abstract: This paper aims to establish a mathematical foundation for modeling free-hand design sketches throughout the conceptual design process. Both experimental and theoretical approaches are used. In ...

Abstract: Heat exchanger tubes can be damaged or fail if subjected to excessive flow-induced vibration, either from fatigue or fretting-wear. Good heat exchanger design requires that the designer understands ...
