Abstract: A highorder polynomial gas distribution cam mechanism is investigated theoretically from the viewpoint of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). First, a cam with a larger base circle radius is employed, which results ...

Abstract: Infrared radiation associated with vaporliquid phase transition of water is investigated using a suspension of cloud droplets and midinfrared (IR) (3–5 خ¼m) radiation absorption measurements. Recent measurements and ...

Abstract: In aircooled heat exchangers, airside thermal resistance is usually the largest compared to conduction and liquidside thermal resistances. Thus, reducing the airside thermal resistance can greatly improve overall cooling ...

Abstract: Simulations of Arctic climate require treatment of land, ocean, ice, and atmospheric processes, and are further complicated by the dynamic nature of the sea ice cover. Here, the ability of a climate system model to simulate ...

Abstract: Nanoparticles made of polymer encapsulated phase change materials (PCM) are added in air to enhance the heat transfer performance of air jet impingement flows applied to cooling processes. Encapsulation prevents agglomeration ...

Abstract: The progress made in the Land?Atmosphere?Ice Interactions Flux Study over the past 4 yr to fully characterize the biophysical fluxes in the snow-free tundra ecosystem and their relationship to climate and climate change ...

Abstract: The primary goal of the Western Arctic Linkage Experiment (WALE) was to better understand uncertainties of simulated hydrologic and ecosystem dynamics of the western Arctic in the context of 1) uncertainties in the data ...
