Abstract: This paper proposes a design modification that would reduce heat losses to the ground from the Storage Zone (SZ) of a solar pond, while increasing the rate of heat extraction. This modification ...

Abstract: The scuffing failure of a sliding contact is a complicated process, involving physics, chemistry, and mechanical science. No comprehensive theory has yet been formulated; the published work ...

Abstract: The thermoelastic instability theory of scuffing failure in elliptic contact between two sliding surfaces, developed by Johnson, Dow, and Zhang, was tested experimentally on a disk machine. The ...
