Abstract: The shell-and-tube heat-exchanger with a phase change material on the shell side is the subject of many investigations concerning latent heat storage. Many design calculations have been based ...

Abstract: Calculations of deformation behavior in metal forming operations require constitutive equations valid at large plastic strain. This work examines the quality of fit provided by two types of ...

Abstract: Simulating irrigation systems by accounting for various water loss rates is necessary while modeling the hydrology of cultivated canal-irrigated watersheds. The existing approaches to modeling canal irrigation use ...

Abstract: In many mechanical systems, the mathematical model can be characterized by m nonlinear equations in n unknowns. The m equations could be either equality constraints or active inequality constraints ...
