Abstract: An engineer with more than 45 years’ experience on efficiency claims takes a look at whether electric vehicles are much more efficient than conventional cars powered by internal combustion engines. He found that EVs are ...

Abstract: The proliferation of solar homes with photovoltaics and without energy storage promotes the electric power supply–demand mismatch and impedes the higher market adoption of renewable energy in buildings and the decarbonization ...

Abstract: It is well known that the hydrodynamic drag on particles is significantly enhanced close to a plane or curved boundary. This enhancement impedes the movement of the particles in both the parallel and the normal directions ...

Abstract: Texas is proud of its oil and gas industry, but the state is blessed with abundant solar and wind power potential. Tapping that potential requires more than simply building out more wind turbines and solar panels–Texas ...

Abstract: The knowledge of simple and relatively accurate closure equations for the drag coefficients of nonspherical particles is very important for Eulerian multiphase numerical codes that require such inputs for the solution of ...

Abstract: Professor Clayton T. Crowe of Washington State University (WSU) made seminal contributions in the discipline of Fluids Engineering, starting with his early work on solid fuel combustion for rocket launching applications. ...

Abstract: A threedimensional immersed boundary method (IBM) is applied for the solution of the thermal interactions between spherical particles in a viscous Newtonian fluid. At first, the free convection of an isolated isothermal ...
