Abstract: The deformation characteristics of soil subjected to vacuum pressure are discussed and an approximate method is proposed for calculating settlement and lateral displacement of the ground induced by vacuum consolidation. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer in a pool boiling evaporator with porous insert. Porous graphite foams were structured into cubic block and straight fin shapes and ...

Abstract: Highly conductive porous media have recently been considered for enhanced cooling applications due to their large internal contact surface area, which promotes convection at the pore level. In ...
