Abstract: A one-dimensional porous-medium model to determine the thermal characteristics of energy storage for the utilization of phase change material (PCM) in packed capsules has been developed. Comparisons ...

Abstract: Lynch and Gray present a number of analytic solutions for computer flow model testing. They derive detailed analytic solutions of the linearized shallow water equations, including bottom friction, wind stress, and variable ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the vertical vibration of a flexible foundation resting on a saturated layered soil half-space that consists of a dry soil layer and an underlying semi-infinite saturated soil. The problem is ...

Abstract: Liquid microjet arrays have received a lot of research attention in recent years due to its high heat flux cooling capability. The microjets are generated from a jet head cavity with a liquid ...

Abstract: The methods currently used for the design of reinforced earth walls with quasi‐inextensible metallic reinforcements are essentially based either upon the limit stress analysis concept or empirical relationships derived ...

Abstract: Laminar air flow through a curved rectangular channel with a variable cross-sectional (c/s) area (diverging-converging channel) is computationally investigated. Such a flow passage is formed between ...

Abstract: A simplified approach for the analysis of the static axial response of pile groups is presented. The approach is based on idealization of the soil around pile shafts as a “Winkler Model for Pile Group” and a transfer matrix ...

Abstract: Heat transfer due to steady, laminar air flow through a curved rectangular channel with a variable cross-sectional (c/s) area is investigated computationally. Such a flow passage is formed between ...

Abstract: The necessity for an efficient thermal management system covering large areas is growing rapidly with the push toward more electric systems. A significant amount of research over the past 2 ...
