Abstract: The motion of a solid-liquid interface in a finite one-dimensional medium, subject to a fluctuating boundary temperature, is analyzed. The fluctuations are assumed to be periodic. The solution ...

Abstract: The heat conduction and the moving solid-liquid interface in a finite region is studied numerically. A Fourier series expansion is used in both phases for spatial temperature distribution, and ...

Abstract: Blowback of engine oil suspended in combustion gases, when the gas flows from the piston second land back into the combustion chamber, is believed to contribute to oil consumption and hydrocarbon ...

Abstract: This paper describes an integrated model developed for the detailed characterization and simulation of piston ring pack behavior in internal combustion engines and the prediction of ring pack ...
