Abstract: A long-standing discussion is whether the existence of branching or looping pipes hinders or improves the transient response of a water conveying pipe system. We show theoretically and numerically that the role of side ...

Abstract: Many transient-based defect detection methods are based on matching the transient model to the measured data to localize the defects. Despite the high degree of success in laboratory systems, this approach has not been ...

Abstract: Energy usage intensity (EUI, kWh/m2/year) of a building category helps energy managers and building owners in evaluating the energy performance of their buildings. Banks are energy-intensive buildings, but there is limited ...
