Abstract: A new type of cavitation triggered by boundary-layer turbulence-production has been identified from the turbines of the Three Gorges Power Station. Our previous studies point out that the addition ...

Abstract: In a hydraulic air compressor the air is surrounded by water during the compression process which is virtually isothermal. Depending on the state of the inlet air, the compressor water ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of the diffusion-rate-controlled absorption of air into the water in the two-phase flow processes occurring in a hydraulic air compressor (HAC). The analysis enables calculation ...

Abstract: he goal of this work is to improve understanding of the mechanisms leading to a heavy rainfall event under the combined influences of the outer circulation of Typhoon Megi (2010), the Asian monsoon, and the topography of ...

Abstract: Natural gas (NG) is a low-carbon fuel that can achieve low carbon emissions and high efficiencies. However, the low mean molecular mass and low energy density of methane result in low engine performance, and blending methane ...

Abstract: Activity duration is uncertain due to the variation in the outside environment, such as weather, site congestion, productivity level, etc. Furthermore, resources for construction activities are limited in the real construction ...

Abstract: Block-wise use of TOPMODEL with the Muskingum–Cunge method (BTOPMC) is a physically based distributed hydrological model with five parameters that quantitatively reflect basin physical features, including soil type, ...

Abstract: AbstractSlantwise convection, the process by which moist symmetric instability is released, has often been linked to banded clouds and precipitation, especially in frontal zones within extratropical cyclones. Studies also ...

Abstract: An effective method for predicting and optimizing the thermal performance of heat sinks with Parallel-Plain Fin under a given design constraint of pressure drop has been successfully developed ...
