Abstract: The response of a small gas bubble, so-called cavitation nucleus, to the reduction of ambient pressure is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Numerical results show that the gas mixture ...

Abstract: Residual stress remaining in machined parts can be detrimental. Previous experimental evidence shows that hardness has a significant effect on its formation. Yet, no satisfactory explanation is ...

Abstract: The response of a small gas bubble to an ambient pressure reduction is investigated theoretically. Numerical results show that the temperature inside the bubble decreases due to adiabatic expansion ...

Abstract: An extension of the τ-decomposition method is used to predict the stability of a continuous system subjected to nonconservative loading. The technique is implemented through Ritz-finite element ...

Abstract: The acoustodynamics of finite elastic cylinders is examined both experimentally and theoretically to investigate the sources of noise generation associated with longitudinal, collinear impact. ...

Abstract: The whole behavior and the micro scale flow characteristics of a three-dimensional bubble plume are investigated numerically. The bubble plume drives liquid convection in a tank due to strong ...

Abstract: The effect of installing steam-injected gas turbines in a cogeneration plant is analyzed with respect to unit sizing and operational planning. An optimization method is used to determine the ...

Abstract: The effect of introducing steam-injected gas turbines into cogeneration plants is investigated from economical and energy-saving aspects on the basis of a mathematical programming approach. An ...

Abstract: An optimal planning method is proposed for the fundamental design of cogeneration plants. Equipment capacities and utility maximum demands are determined so as to minimize the annual total cost ...
