Abstract: Several nuclear shielding parameters were evaluated for surgical stainless steel

Abstract: We derive, by means of an asymptotic analysis, a simple expression for the added mass per unit length of a finite length, slender, cylinder vibrating in the breathing mode. We find, to ...

Abstract: Cavity solar receivers are generally believed to have higher thermal efficiencies than external receivers due to reduced losses. A simple analytical model was presented by the author which ...

Abstract: Performance monitoring is essential in order to conclusively demonstrate the cost effectiveness of a solar heating system. Unfortunately, this “last step” is an aspect which has received little ...

Abstract: This paper compares the leading edge groove and pressurized supply (flooded) lubricant supply methods, and analyzes their influence on the performance of equalizing tilting pad thrust bearings. ...

Abstract: This paper compares the LEG and pressurized controlled flow lubricant supply methods and evaluates their influence on the babbitt temperature and bearing power loss performance of a tilting pad, ...

Abstract: A set of constitutive equations, which has been used to describe a variety of quasi-static and dynamic viscoplastic phenomena, are applied to creep problems. Simulations of steady and transient ...

Abstract: The global ultraviolet and global radiation were measured and recorded on an hourly basis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (lat. 24.6°N, long. 46.7°) during the period 1984–1989. Global radiation, ...
