Abstract: The one-dimensional momentum equation without slip is applied to the bubbly flow of air-water mixtures in pipes for Reynolds numbers in excess of 105 . The equation is integrated along the ...

Abstract: An integral entrainment computation technique is presented for the three-dimensional boundary-layer growth on the stationary end-walls of centrifugal turbomachinery. The analytical model assumes ...

Abstract: This paper presents the use of a hybrid stress analysis method for the prediction of fatigue life of bicycle frames. A finite beam element computer program is used to calculate frame stresses. ...

Abstract: Experimental observations of flow structure and pressure loss have been made for froth flow within 180 deg circular pipe bends. Within the bend the distributions of pressure observed reflected ...

Abstract: The paper describes work that has been carried out into the flexural vibrational behavior of a rotor mounted on several bearings and containing a transverse crack. A method of solving the ...

Abstract: The effects of a transverse crack on the dynamics of a multi-rotor, multi-bearing system have been studied experimentally using a spin rig. It is concluded that except for very large cracks, ...

Abstract: The existence of psychological contracts (PC) in construction procurement is examined. Specific objectives are to identify the presence of the PC in construction project teams and catalogue its effect on procurement delivery. ...

Abstract: In recent years two general methods for flow analysis in turbomachinery have been developed, one generally called the Streamline Curvature Method, the other the Matrix Through-Flow Method. Both ...
