Abstract: A method was proposed earlier by the authors for the enhancement of energy storage in the ground beneath solar ponds employing the trapezoidal-shaped trenches at the bottom of the pond. The ...

Abstract: This paper gives an analytical investigation of the hydromagnetic theory for squeeze films between two conducting surfaces. It is shown that increase in load capacity, pressure, and time of ...

Abstract: The phenomenon of seabed scouring by icebergs is a major threat to buried structures on the Canadian East Coast and is of immediate concern to the petroleum operators. The design of a suitable ...

Abstract: Lightweight flexible arms will most likely constitute the next generation robots. The design key is the adoption of flexible links, rather than rigid links like in today’s industrial robots. ...

Abstract: An infinite-line probe is commonly used to measure unsteady pressure in high-temperature environments while protecting the pressure transducer. In this study, an existing theoretical model is used ...

Abstract: An active engine control scheme for protection against compressor instabilities such as rotating stall and surge is presented. Compressor stability detection is accomplished via a parameter known ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for estimating compressor stall margin and the results of applying the estimation technique to an axial compressor rig. Stall margin estimation is accomplished through ...

Abstract: The average values of the breaker heights and breaker angles for different months in a year are evaluated and the littoral drift for the coast is computed. The changes in the geomorphology of the region after the construction ...

Abstract: The most important step in the structural synthesis of planetary gear trains (PGTs) requires the identification of isomorphism (rotational as well as displacement) between the graphs which represent ...

Abstract: Structural synthesis of kinematic chains usually involves the creation of a complete list of kinematic chains, followed by a isomorphism test to discard duplicate chains. A significant unsolved ...
