Abstract: The “suddenrising head effectâ€‌ may be prevalent in the head curve when a centrifugal pump transports highly viscous liquids, but it is not well understood presently. To clarify this effect the hydraulic performance of ...

Abstract: Properly modeling cavitating flow in a centrifugal pump is a very important issue for prediction of cavitation performance in pump hydraulic design optimization and application. As a first trial, the issue is explored by ...

Abstract: Traditionally, characterization of spectral information for wide sense stationary processes has been addressed by identifying a single best spectral estimator from a given family. If one were to ...

Abstract: Although advanced technologies, such as detection techniques and controllers, have been incorporated within Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), pretimed signal control still plays an important role in traffic control ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the inverse heat transfer problem of laminar forced convection within a circular pipe. The performances of two classical algorithms used in the whole domain function ...

Abstract: The high pressure branch pipe in hydropower station (BPHS) is usually composed by different materials in different parts and has complicated geometric configurations. The accurate and efficient ...

Abstract: Construction of the mass rapid transit system is of great importance both to rationally utilizing the economical resource and optimizing the overall arrangement of urban land use. However, the decision-making process is ...

Abstract: As an important energy generation device of the compressed air energy storage (CAES) system, the radial-inflow turbine with shrouded impeller is employed to avoid the leakage flow in the rotor, especially in the high-pressure ...
