Abstract: The paper considers the surface roughness effects in hydrodynamic porous bearings. On the basis of stochastic theory of hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces developed by Christensen, different ...

Abstract: The stochastic theory of hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces is used to study the effect of surface roughness on the response of a squeeze film between two circular plates when one ...

Abstract: The Christensen’s stochastic theory of hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces is used to study the effects of surface roughness on the response of the squeeze film between rectangular plates ...

Abstract: Sorption of endosulfan and chlorpyrifos was studied through batch experiments with three agricultural soils (organic carbon 0.8, 1.37, and 2%) and different initial concentrations of pesticides below the limits of their ...

Abstract: Transient liquid phase diffusion brazing is used in precision, hermetic joining applications as a replacement for diffusion bonding to reduce cycle times, reduce bonding pressure, and improve ...

Abstract: Accurate and reliable weekly and monthly water demand forecasting is important for effective and sustainable planning and use of urban water supply infrastructure. This study explored a hybrid wavelet–bootstrap–artificial ...

Abstract: Plunging jet aerators are considered energetically attractive devices for oxygenation because of their good mixing characteristics and ease of construction and operation. In this mechanism of plunging jet aeration, the ...

Abstract: Estimates of temporal variation of the sediment yield are required for studies of reservoir sedimentation, river morphology, and soil and water conservation. In this paper, a method is proposed for prediction of the variation ...

Abstract: This study introduces the utility of the second-order neural network (SONN) method to model the reference evapotranspiration (
