Abstract: A study to determine what skills and traits make effective project managers was conducted. A questionnaire was developed and distributed across the country to office managers of an engineering organization involved in the ...

Abstract: The transition region plays a critical role in the design of turbine blades, as it is accompanied by higher losses (1) and higher heat transfer rates (2). Most of the transition onset and ...

Abstract: Health standards are commonly based on only one group of rodents. Additional uncertainty (deriving from animals used as a surrogate for man and low‐dose extrapolations to environmental concentrations) cause inflated margins ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the scale effects that occur in miniature centrifugal flow fans and investigates the possibility of optimizing blade geometry so that performance can be enhanced. Such fans ...

Abstract: It has been reported previously that collagen fibers will stain either red or green by Masson’s and other trichrome methods depending on whether they have been respectively stressed or relaxed ...

Abstract: Heat transfer enhancement using segmented nonboiling gas-liquid flow is examined. Segmentation results in a two phase flow of liquid/gas having a constant liquid fraction; i.e., no phase change ...

Abstract: A major impact on stream ecosystems in urban catchments is the increased frequency of runoff of poor quality storm water. This problem has not been commonly addressed in storm-water management, which usually focuses on ...

Abstract: To achieve reductions in the power consumption of the data center cooling infrastructure, the current strategy in data center design is to increase the inlet temperature to the rack, while the ...

Abstract: The chiller cooled data center environment consists of many interlinked elements that are usually treated as individual components. This chain of components and their influences on each other ...
