Abstract: This paper describes experimental measurements of forced ignition of prevaporized liquid fuels in a well-controlled facility that incorporates nonuniform flow conditions similar to those of gas turbine engine combustors. ...

Abstract: A series of experiments were conducted in a flume to study the hydraulic characteristics of the turbidity current in a reservoir. Kaolin was used as the suspended material. The plunge points were found to be unstable ...

Abstract: For investigating selective withdrawal problems, laboratory experiments were conducted in a horizontal flume with a co-directional two-layer flow of different density into a line sink. Saline water was used as the fluid ...

Abstract: The effects of jet fuel composition on ignition probability have been studied in a flowfield that is relevant to turbine engine combustors, but also fundamental and conducive to modeling. In the experiments, a spark kernel ...

Abstract: A proper method to assess contractor competitiveness is important both for assisting clients in the selection of proper contractors and for assisting contractors in the development of more competitive bidding strategies. ...

Abstract: The deposition behavior of fine sediment is an important phenomenon, and yet it is unclear to engineers concerned about reservoir sedimentation. Laboratory experiments were conducted to produce both quasi-homogeneous flow ...

Abstract: The duration of a construction project is a key factor to consider before starting a new project. It needs to be accurately estimated from an early stage. Many researchers demonstrated the applicability of regression ...

Abstract: A brief literature review on run-off-road (ROR) accident prediction model was made. Road geometry, traffic volume, accidents, roadside hardware and features data of 31 rural two-lane highways (total 740 kilometers) were ...

Abstract: The study aimed to determine the number of cultivation cycles required to reform the plough sole once it has been destroyed or removed from the paddy. An ad hoc infiltration column experiment, which is a cylinder of
