Abstract: An improved approach is proposed here for searching the global noncircular critical slip surface in a slope with soil variability. To avoid the local minimum, the proposed approach combines a readily available optimization ...

Abstract: For narrow space boiling, it is difficult to release bubbles from the narrow space, especially on a large-area surface. To solve this problem, a new structure is designed in the present paper. ...

Abstract: The effect of different filler types on the properties of asphalt mortar before and after water saturation was studied by laboratory tests. Under both dry and water-saturated circumstances, four alternative fillers, limestone ...

Abstract: Film cooling performance of a new shaped hole, waist-shaped slot hole, is studied in this paper. Experimental measurement and numerical simulation are carried out to investigate the film cooling ...

Abstract: Film cooling performances of two kinds of converging-slot-hole (console) with different exit-entry area ratios have been measured using a new transient liquid crystal measurement technique, which ...

Abstract: A simplified hybrid-dimensional unsteady heat transfer model for the ascension-pipe heat exchanger with a helically coiled tube embedded in the jacket and supported by high conductivity particles is established based on ...

Abstract: Based on the efficient resource utilization of scrap tires, pyrolysis carbon black (PCB), and pyrolysis oil of waste tire (TPO), scrap tires’ products were treated using dry styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymer modification ...
