Abstract: Instead of the classic Fourier equation based on diffusion, a hyperbolic equation based on a wave model has been used to predict the rapid transient heat conduction in IC chips. The peak ...

Abstract: In times comparable to the characteristic time of the energy carriers, Fourier’s law of heat conduction breaks down and heat may propagate as waves. Based on the concept of thermomass, which ...

Abstract: Methods from calculus may be used to determine a channel cross section which minimizes hydraulic resistance or alternatively, determines the least cost channel dimensions. In either case, established procedures ignore ...

Abstract: Jet impingement on a solid wall is a common problem for engineers. Near solid boundaries, flow situations depend highly on the impingement geometries. Therefore, it is almost impossible for engineers to labor through ...

Abstract: In the numerical modeling, solutions are highly subject to the boundary conditions that should mathematically represent as much physical phenomena as possible. However, in the predictions of a turbulent flow associated ...

Abstract: The erosion of cohesive soils is regarded as one of the major threats to the failure of earth structures. The current evaluation of clay erodibility is primarily based on empirical correlations with other physical and ...

Abstract: This work aims to study the mechanical mechanism of the post-peak tunnel surrounding rock state under grouted bolting support. The post-peak surrounding rock, which is under the effect of secondary stress from the free ...

Abstract: Berming is a common nationwide practice in the United States for pavement shoulder maintenance, especially for states located in cold regions. Competent berming helps to improve the load support capacity of the pavement ...

Abstract: Fourier’s law is a phenomenological law to describe the heat transfer process. Although it has been widely used in a variety of engineering application areas, it is still questionable to reveal ...
