Abstract: Radiation heat transfer in a model combustor with interior and exterior conjugate heat transfers has been numerically studied. The previous investigations on turbulence, combustion, and scalar ...

Abstract: Reliable NOx modeling depends on the accurate prediction of both velocity and temperature fields. The velocity and temperature fields of a propane diffusion flame combustor, with interior and ...

Abstract: The long-term behavior of long-span prestressed concrete continuous rigid-frame bridges is significantly sensitive to creep and shrinkage. Therefore, it is important to accurately estimate creep and shrinkage effects. This ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an optimization algorithm for coordinating charging/discharging activities of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) within the electricity market environment. PHEV Fleets are considered as a promising ...

Abstract: This paper introduces thirteen kinds of typical excavation failures widely encountered in practice in China along with corresponding failure mechanisms and damages to adjacent structures and facilities. Emphasis is placed ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an optimization algorithm for coordinating charging/discharging activities of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) within the electricity market environment. PHEV Fleets are considered as a promising ...

Abstract: Masonry-infilled wood frame walls are widely used in vernacular buildings all over the world. Based on traditional European wood frame walls, this paper proposes wood bracing as reinforcement for traditional Chinese ...

Abstract: Freshwater resources in coastal areas are under intense pressure from excessive groundwater extraction, which amplifies saltwater intrusion (SWI) into coastal freshwater aquifers, such as in the Mekong Delta. Studies that ...
