Abstract: Hydrologic systems are characterized by processes which may occur on, below, and above the land surface. These processes are irreversible, and the irreversibility produces entropy. In thermodynamics, entropy is a measure ...

Abstract: Time of concentration is an important parameter in rainfall–runoff models, such as the rational method and the unit hydrograph method, used for drainage design. There are several equations for computing the time of ...

Abstract: This paper gives a brief synopsis of the thermo-dynamic imperative of the feedwater heater in the power cycle, followed by the development of two performance parameters. These two parameters, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a direct method for determining the geometry factor J for slotted external spur gears. The location of maximum stressed point on the tooth profile where the stress parabola ...

Abstract: It is observed in practice that the classic (conventional) method as well as the finite element method, when using beam elements, to evaluate the strength and stiffness of a pressframe, gives ...

Abstract: A computer-oriented method for axisymmetric stress analysis of integral tubesheet exchangers is developed. The tubesheet is modeled as a composite plate consisting of a perforated interior and a ...
