Abstract: A theory of thermal choking due to nonequilibrium condensation in a nozzle is presented. An explicit equation for the critical quantity of heat in condensing flow has been derived. The equation ...

Abstract: temperature, and the relation between measured total pressure and entropy production in multiphase flows have been discussed at length by Guha (1998)....

Abstract: In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study theoretically the conical whirl instability of unloaded hydrostatic porous oil journal bearings with tangential velocity slip on the ...

Abstract: Studies on coupled structural acoustic problems within laminated composite enclosures are presented. Isoparametric quadratic boundary element formulation for the acoustic domain is coupled to the ...

Abstract: A boundary layer based integral analysis has been performed to investigate laminar natural convection heat transfer characteristics for fluids with arbitrary Prandtl number over a semiinfinite horizontal plate subjected ...

Abstract: Earth retaining structures are constructed to withstand lateral pressure from backfill soil and surcharge pressures from the foundations of adjacent structures. Although sands are considered as the most suitable backfill ...

Abstract: Debonding between stiffener and base plate is a very common type of damage in stiffened panels. Numerous efforts have been made for debonding assessment in the stiffened panel structure using guided wave-based techniques. ...

Abstract: Sorption of endosulfan and chlorpyrifos was studied through batch experiments with three agricultural soils (organic carbon 0.8, 1.37, and 2%) and different initial concentrations of pesticides below the limits of their ...
