Abstract: A simple model from first principles has been developed to estimate the heat transferred from the piston rings and skirt to the cylinder wall. The model considers the various forms in which ...

Abstract: An approach is presented for evaluating site-specific or multisite alternative environmental remedies that involve nonmonetary benefits. After discussing problems that currently preclude the use of benefit-cost analysis ...

Abstract: It is becoming increasingly common to employ tuned sloshing damper (TSD) systems to reduce the wind-induced motion of tall buildings due to their affordability and apparent simplicity. However, TSD systems are relatively ...

Abstract: Accurately representing flow across the mesoscale to the microscale is a persistent roadblock for completing realistic microscale simulations. The science challenges that must be addressed to coupling at these scales include ...
