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: In this paper, the fiber blending distribution test was designed to evaluate the workability of engineering geopolymer composites. The effect of polyvinyl alcohol, polyoxymethylene, and polypropylene fibers on the mechanical ...

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 ...
