Abstract: An analytical solution to the transient thermal behavior of a rock-bed thermal storage system subjected to varying air inlet temperature is presented. The solution is obtained in terms of ...

Abstract: America’s aging infrastructure is in dire need of upgrading, and with federal and state funding stretched to the breaking point, the private sector has stepped into the breach. Public-private partnerships are creating new ...

Abstract: A procedure has been developed for calculating the work performed by the left ventricle during the heartbeat. This procedure involves the continuous direct measurement of fluid mixture temperature ...

Abstract: In-vivo tendon forces are commonly measured using transducers, which detect tension in the tendon fibers. A poorly understood source of measurement errors is the difference in stress distribution ...
