Abstract: This paper proposes a novel orifice flow model for non-Newtonian fluids. The orifice model is developed for sharp orifices with small apertures (orifice to pipe diameter ratio: 0.04 ≤ β ≤ 0.16) for which predictive models ...

Abstract: Projections using global climate models indicate that climate change will influence the patterns of natural hazards, such as thunderstorms, atmospheric river landfalls, extreme droughts, and ocean waves. The frequency and ...

Abstract: Gerotors are inexpensive positive displacement pumps commonly used in hydrostatic transmissions, fuel injection, and automotive lubrication systems. In these pumps, leakages at the tooth tips of the gears are the major ...

Abstract: Effective thermodynamic analysis is quite necessary for proper system design performance and optimization of system processes. Energy is concerned with the quantitative evaluation of system processes. Nonetheless, exergy ...

Abstract: Soil erosion is one of the major hazards affected by the climate change, particularly the changed precipitation trend. The present paper has generated future precipitation by downscaling general circulation model (GCM, ...

Abstract: In the process of making steel, around 10%–15% of slag is produced. In the last decade, several studies have proposed the application of steel slag as geomaterial. However, its potential application as a subgrade material ...
