Abstract: verage temperature of ?63°C and winter lows of ?120°C, Mars sounds far too cold for humans. However, thermometer readings from Mars are highly misleading to terrestrials who base their expectations of thermal comfort on ...

Abstract: t the land surface, higher soil moisture levels generally lead to both increased evaporation for a given amount of incoming radiation (increased ?evaporation efficiency?) and increased runoff for a given amount of precipitation ...

Abstract: Laser scanning for rapid spatial data acquisition is an established technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector with a wide range of applications. An understanding of the wide variation of ...

Abstract: The formulation of a fiber model is presented for the second‐order analysis of slender concrete compression members of arbitrary cross section and longitudinal configuration subjected to static biaxial loading. The analytical ...

Abstract: A life-fraction rule is often used to predict the rupture life of a piece of elevated-temperature equipment exposed to several temperature and stress conditions. It is based on the assumption ...

Abstract: Shortduration facilities have been used for the past 35 years to obtain measurements of heat transfer, aerodynamic loading, vibratory response, filmcooling influence, purge flow migration, and aeroperformance for fullstage, ...

Abstract: An experimental study of two-celled vortex flows was conducted in a Ward-type tornado vortex chamber (TVC). Time-averaged, stream-static pressure measurements on the vortex axis and observations of the visualized flow in ...
