Abstract: An analytical and experimental study on the effects of large distortions of inlet velocity profiles on flow regimes and performance in diffusers is reported. Experiments are restricted to flow ...

Abstract: Design methods for the shear resistance of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams are based on empirical evidence. Due to different approaches in their development, different equations are used to calculate the shear ...

Abstract: The problem of the design of oblique flow headers for heat exchangers flowing low density fluids is considered. It is demonstrated by test that the theory already available in the literature ...
