Abstract: The dynamic stability of a viscoelastic column subjected to a periodic longitudinal load is investigated. The viscoelastic behavior is given in terms of the Boltzmann superposition principle which ...

Abstract: Analytical and experimental studies have been done to determine the shape of a vertical, axisymmetric, annular liquid jet. From a balance of the surface, pressure, gravity, and inertia forces, ...

Abstract: New titanium, shell-and-plate type heat exchangers for ocean-thermal-energy-conversion (OTEC) plants have been developed which include three different plate types (fluted, impinging, and porous-surface) ...
