Abstract: This work presents a unique and unified formulation to solve the laminar film condensation two-phase boundary layer equations for the free, mixed, and forced convection regimes in the absence ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical and experimental study on the elastodynamic analysis and control of flexible linkages mechanisms using piezoceramic sensors and actuators. A mixed variational ...

Abstract: For protection against storm tides, four mobile barriers, each of which consists of 20 gates hinged at the bottom axis, have been proposed to span the three inlets of the Venice lagoon. In stormy weather these gates are ...

Abstract: In this paper we introduce the idea of parallel pipelining for water lubricated transportation of oil (or other viscous material). A parallel system can have major advantages over a single ...

Abstract: The pressure swirl atomizer, or simplex atomizer, is widely used in liquid fuel combustion devices in the aerospace and power generation industries. A computational, experimental, and theoretical ...
