Abstract: The problem of therporacoustic (thermal-porous-acoustic) convection near a porous medium, representative of a stack in a thermoacoustic engine/refrigerator, is modeled and analyzed in this paper. ...

Abstract: The environmental impacts and economic costs associated with passenger transportation are the result of complex interactions between people, infrastructure, urban form, and underlying activities. When it comes to roadway ...

Abstract: The authors regret that the following typos occurred in the above article: In the abstract, the word “therporacoustic” should be “therporaoustic.”On p. 3, three lines above Sec. 2.2, the word ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical study has been conducted on the flow and energy transfer of an unsteady compressible oscillating flow through channels filled with porous media representing stacks ...

Abstract: Thermoacoustic refrigerator is a device that transfers heat from a low temperature medium to a high-temperature medium by using sound energy as work input. We have designed and tested a ...

Abstract: Flow, thermal, energy, and irreversibility characteristics inside wavy enclosures packed with microstructures are reported in this paper. It is assumed that the entire enclosure has sufficient and ...

Abstract: Designing infrastructure for a changing climate remains a major challenge for engineers. In popular discourse a narrative has emerged that infrastructures are likely underdesigned for the future. Weather-related hazards ...
