Abstract: A study of the breakup of planar viscous liquid sheets subjected to gas flow on both sides was conducted. A linear spatial stability analysis was used to determine the instability wave ...

Abstract: Velocity measurements, using a two‐dimensional laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV), were made in turbulent channel flows of water, at a Reynolds number of 60,000, over a flat stationary sediment bed with covers of different ...

Abstract: The flow around a half-ellipsoid with axes ratio 12:6:1 mounted on a plane wall at an angle of attack of 25° and at a Reynolds number of 47,000 (based on the maximum chord) was studied ...

Abstract: Methyl and ethyl esters of vegetable oils have become an important source of renewable energy with convenient applications in compression-ignition (CI) engines. While the use of biofuels results ...

Abstract: Biofuels, such as canola methyl ester (CME) and soy-methyl ester (SME) derived from vegetable oil, are alternative sources of energy that have been developed to reduce the dependence on ...

Abstract: As a result of decreasing petroleum supplies, new fuel sources, such as transesterified biofeedstock based oils and their blends with petroleum diesel fuels, have emerged with potential to ...
