Abstract: A theory based on turbulent jet entrainment properties is presented for the prediction of unsteady end wall switching behavior in a bistable wall attachment fluid amplifier. Good agreement is ...

Abstract: The paper presents the model of an industrial solar receiver/reactor for thermal cracking of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) at the typical temperature range of 800–850°C. The concentrated solar ...

Abstract: Fuji film has been widely used in studies aimed at obtaining the contact mechanics of articular joints. Once sealed for practical use in biological joints, Fuji Pressensor film has a total ...

Abstract: The composition and amount of extracellular matrix produced by chondrocytes are thought to be influenced by the stress and strain states in the vicinity of the chondrocytes. During daily ...

Abstract: A simple algebraic model of wave motion arising in the adiabatic fixed-desiccant bed dehumidification of an air stream is applied to the prediction of the performance potential of a desiccant ...

Abstract: Calendering of molten thermoplastics is frequently used to produce sheet materials of uniform thickness. The mechanical and chemical properties of such sheets are those inherent to the basic ...

Abstract: In the framework of the EU-project SOLZINC, a 300-kW solar chemical pilot plant for the production of zinc by carbothermic reduction of ZnO was experimentally demonstrated in a beam-down solar ...
