Abstract: A model of mini heat sink with microchannels was developed to obtain homogeneous heat transfer capability. The channels are constructed in the form of eight triangular arrays based on a square substrate. Air is sucked from ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of the motion of a thin fiber, supported on each end, due to a sound wave that propagates in the direction perpendicular to its long axis. Predicted and measured results indicate that when fibers ...

Abstract: The authors successfully model and simulate the observed evidence that anomalously high winter/spring Eurasian snow cover is linked to weak rainfall in the following summer Indian monsoon. It is shown that excessive snow ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the region-reaching control problem for a flexible-joint robotic manipulator which is formulated by Lagrangian dynamics. An adaptive control scheme is proposed for the manipulator system having two ...

Abstract: The shape function of the finite elementleast square point interpolation method (FELSPIM) combines the quadrilateral element for partition of unity and the least square point interpolation method (LSPIM) for local ...

Abstract: Shellandtube heat exchangers are the most common type of heat exchangers in oil refineries and other large chemical processes. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that the shellside flow in a cylindrical shell was not as ...

Abstract: Drilling crack-arrest holes is a simple technique, commonly used by bridge owners to control and/or repair fatigue cracks in steel bridges. Although well-established relationships exist for sizing the diameter of crack-arrest ...

Abstract: A series of sensitivity experiments are conducted in an attempt to understand and correct deficiencies in the simulation of the seasonal mean Indian monsoon with a global atmospheric general circulation model. The seasonal ...
