Abstract: The design of urban drainage systems consists of solving two subproblems: (1) generating the layout and (2) sizing the sewers. The latter includes pipe diameters, installation depths, and pumping facilities, all of which ...

Abstract: A fuzzy logic knowledge-based approach, FUZZYMESH , for finite element mesh generation and analysis is presented. The proposed approach initiates the adaptive process with a high quality initial ...

Abstract: This work introduces a simple and straightforward approach for the creep function determination in viscoelastic pipes on the basis of transient flow analysis. The governing equations are expanded and analytically solved ...

Abstract: This study introduces a novel hybrid leak detection method based on machine learning (ML) and hydraulic transient modeling for pipe networks. First, the transient hydraulic simulation model is developed in the time domain. ...

Abstract: This study investigates the efficiency of application of phase change materials (PCMs) in a solar cooling system. The proposed system consists of an adsorption chiller and a latent heat storage unit (LHSU) containing PCMs. ...

Abstract: Deconvolution method is generally used to eliminate wellbore storage dominant period of well testing. Common Deconvolution techniques require knowledge of both pressure and rate variations within ...

Abstract: Performance of a direct evaporative cooler (DEC) was numerically studied at various outdoor and indoor air conditions, with geometric and physical characteristics of it being extracted based on thermal comfort criteria. ...
