Abstract: Turbulent experimental friction factors for air and power-law fluid flows through a horizontal tube are reported. The power-law fluids studied were aqueous solutions of Carbopol® (at ...

Abstract: A lumped-mass surface-temperature thermal model for POL (petroleum, oil, lubricants) bulk storage tanks is developed. The model utilizes twelve ordinary, coupled, first-order differential equations, ...

Abstract: An infinite member of combinations of values of the effective depth, width, and area of reinforcement could yield the same nominal moment capacity of a reinforced concrete beam. In the conventional process, a designer often ...

Abstract: A theoretical investigation is made of the effect of compressibility and free-stream turbulence on the mixing-layer flow between high-speed parallel turbulent gas streams. Compressibility effects ...

Abstract: The stability analyses of tetrahedral wedges in rock slopes are commonly conducted using the versatile sequential vectorial operations or stereographic projection methods. This paper presents an alternative approach using ...

Abstract: For the summer monsoon seasons of 1995, 1996, and 1997 the day-1 to day-4 forecasts of precipitation from both the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) and the European Centre for Medium-Range ...
