Abstract: In recent years there has been a dramatic increase of interest in sandwich cladding panels consisting of metal faces and a rigid foam core. Previous studies have concentrated on the behavior of these panels when subject ...

Abstract: Sediment fingerprinting has been developed by researchers over the past three decades for watershed sediment transport research. Sediment fingerprinting is a method to allocate sediment nonpoint source pollutants in a ...

Abstract: A nominal 293 kw (1 MBtu/hr) atmospheric pressure, refractory-lined combustor has been used to investigate the effects of a number of combustor and fuel dependent variables on combustion efficiency ...

Abstract: Both 2D and 3D hydrodynamic models of the Irish Sea are used to examine the influence of the open boundary condition (OBC), bottom friction, and vertical eddy viscosity upon tidal currents in this region. Three eddy viscosity ...

Abstract: To address the requirement for prediction and understanding of airflow in forced convection cooled electronic systems, a detailed experimental investigation of the outlet flow of typical axial ...

Abstract: A previously verified axisymmetric Navier–Stokes computer code was extended for three-dimensional computation of eccentric rim seals of almost any configuration. All compressibility and thermal/momentum ...

Abstract: Three viscosity modifiers (a commercial shrinkage-reducing admixture, a polypropylene glycol, and a cellulose ether) are used to reduce the effective diffusivity of chloride ions through mortars during a 1-year exposure. ...

Abstract: Typical conventional diesel engine designs are based on arrangements of single piston and cylinder sets placed sequentially either in-line or offset (“V”) along the crankshaft. The development ...

Abstract: The Second Report of the Marshall Study Group, entitled “An Assessment of the Integrity of PWR Pressure Vessels,” was published recently by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. The Report ...
