Abstract: A differential reflectivity radar technique for observing hailstorms is demonstrated using measurements obtained during the 13 June 1984 Denver hailstorm. The hail regions of the storm are identified with the differential ...

Abstract: Irwin's model on plastic zone at the crack tip is discussed in many fracture mechanics textbooks. However, we found in Irwin's model that the internal resultant force on the crack plane and the one applied in remote field ...

Abstract: In this study, experimental investigations regarding the heat transfer performance of an evaporator with capillary wick are presented. The capillary wick structure is composed of sintered multilayer copper mesh. The ...

Abstract: In this study, a comparative investigation of two types of microheat pipe array (MHPA) flat-plate solar air collectors (FPSAC) based on exergy analysis has been conducted. The thermal performance of MHPA-type solar air ...

Abstract: A simple and physically consistent expression for the turbulent heat flux equation in the convective atmospheric boundary layer (CABL) has been suggested by Holtslag and Moeng in 1991. In their equation, valid under ...
