Abstract: Many European refuse incinerators utilize the heat derived from refuse incineration for steam or hot water supply to district-heating systems or to certain industries for generation of electricity, ...

Abstract: Flow through an experimental model of a U-shaped fuel cell channel is used to investigate the fluid dynamic phenomena that occur within serpentine reactant transport channels of fuel cells. ...

Abstract: The frequency response of a cylinder in a viscously damped fluid is a problem of fundamental engineering interest, with applications ranging from microsystems to offshore structures. The analytic ...

Abstract: The frequency responses of an experimental electro-hydraulic position control system and a simulation of the system are compared. Three different valve models are used in the simulation in an ...

Abstract: There is a need to align the mechanical axis of the tibia with the axis of loading for studies involving tibiofemoral compression to interpret results and to ensure repeatability of loading ...

Abstract: Synthetic polymer fluids are becoming a popular replacement for bentonite slurries to support excavations for deep foundation elements. However, the rheological properties of the polymer fluids used in excavation support ...

Abstract: Application of the GE MS5001 gas turbine performance improvement uprate package has been extended to an early model “K” unit at Texaco’s Convent, LA, refinery. This extensive modification required ...

Abstract: It is important to determine the three-dimensional nonuniform deformation of articular cartilage in its native environment. A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technique (cartilage deformation ...

Abstract: A solution is given for the thermal stresses due to a penny-shaped crack at the interface between dissimilar materials loaded in tension for the case where the heat flux is into the material ...
