Abstract: This article presents a numerical simulation of combined radiation and natural convection in a three-dimensional differentially heated rectangular cavity with two opposite side walls kept at a ...

Abstract: Reports have indicated the poor performance of the conventional type of cutting tools during machining of composites. In this paper electrochemical spark machining (ECSM) for the cutting and ...

Abstract: In many industrial casting processes, knowledge of the solid fraction evolution during the solidification process is a key factor in determining the process design parameters such as cooling ...

Abstract: Geotechnical centrifuge modeling provides a means of accelerating the transport of contaminants through a soil matrix. Contaminant transport mechanisms occurring in the geotechnical centrifuge model can be used to verify ...

Abstract: The estimation or prediction of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film thickness requires knowledge of the lubricant properties. Today, in many instances, the lubricant properties have been ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a qualitative investigation to identify concepts for design and construction of near‐term lunar facilities. Accomplishing such construction will require an adaptation or transfer of ...
