Abstract: A two-compartment analytical model was developed to estimate the turbulent dissipation rates in a standard jar stirred by a radial impeller. A simple numerical simulation was also performed to support the analytical ...

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the limit design of cellular cofferdams that are regarded as mixed structures where the backfill is modeled as a three-dimensional continuum, while the surrounding sheet pile wall is treated as a ...

Abstract: It is generally known that the humidity in the surrounding atmosphere influences wear processes in general. For fretting wear several authors examined the influence of humidity on the wear scar ...

Abstract: Modern design of turbine blades usually requires highly loaded, very thin profiles in order to save weight and cost. If local leading edge incidence is kept close to zero, then flow separation ...

Abstract: The problem of steady-state, small amplitude, periodic wave propagation in a viscous, compressible liquid contained in an infinitely long, elastic tube is solved for the complex propagation ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to relate bearing film temperatues to oil discharge temperature. Results for a five-shoe tilting-pad journal bearing show that film temperatures are substantially ...

Abstract: Flow in annular space occurs in drilling operation of oil and gas wells. The correct prediction of the flow of the drilling mud in the annular space between the well wall and the drill ...
