Abstract: Thermal conditions at the porous-fluid interface under local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) conditions are analyzed in this work. Exact solutions are derived for both the fluid and solid temperature ...

Abstract: The transient thermal response of a packed bed is investigated analytically. A local thermal nonequilibrium model is used to represent the energy transport within the porous medium. The heat ...

Abstract: This study examined the effects of pH, dosage, and stirring time on the removal of oil and Cr(VI) from simulated wastewater by pectin obtained from citrus byproducts. After pectin modification by etherification and ...

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance has become a complicated environmental problem. Controlling

Abstract: A physically based distributed hydrological model is coupled with an optimization algorithm for joint dam operation to reduce the flood peaks downstream. The decision variables are the release-inflow ratios. The heuristic ...

Abstract: The fuel-optimal rapid cooperative rendezvous problem between two spacecraft under finite thrust, based on the indirect method, was investigated and converted into a two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP) in this study ...

Abstract: Interaction between masonry infill walls (MIWs) and a main structural system can impact the overall structural performance. However, there is no test to investigate the impact of MIWs on self-centering prestressed concrete ...
