Abstract: The combustion of rich mixtures of methane representing natural gas in air or oxygenated air involving the uncatalyzed partial oxidation of methane is examined analytically with the view of ...

Abstract: Different criteria for establishing ignition within reactive methane-air mixtures are discussed. It is shown that for relatively low initial mixture temperature using the different ignition criteria ...

Abstract: Previous experimental studies on laterally loaded pile groups usually applied loading along the direction parallel to the edge of the pile cap. This study aims to determine the effects of the loading direction on the ...

Abstract: The free-surface flows in rectangular basins are studied by the lattice Boltzmann model for shallow-water equations including flow turbulence (LABSWE). Asymmetrical flows occurring in the basins with different ratios of ...

Abstract: We use three-dimensional surface topography analysis for evaluating waterjet generated surfaces. The waterjet generated surface is separated into smooth and striation zones, where striation influence ...

Abstract: In the theoretical studies of crack problems, several different electric boundary conditions at the crack surfaces in piezoelectric materials have been proposed by numerous researchers (1234). ...

Abstract: The thermodynamics and chemical kinetics of the combustion in air of methane when containing varying concentrations of the common diluents CO2 , N2 , and H2 O are considered over a wide range ...

Abstract: A lattice Boltzmann method with two relaxation times for shallow-water equations (

Abstract: Bioleaching of heavy metals from sewage sludge has been shown to be a promising technique for sludge decontamination in such a complex matrix. The effect of two types of substrates (

Abstract: A lattice Boltzmann method with two relaxation times for shallow-water equations (LABSWETRT) without turbulence is proposed. The described model is validated through simulations of three typical cases with laminar flows: ...
