Abstract: Results of the monthly climatological fields of heat storage for the Eastern Mediterranean are presented. The zonal annual trend of monthly mean storage in the Levantine, Aegean, and Ionian seas are shown as well as the ...

Abstract: Limaçon-to-limaçon compression-expansion machines have housings and rotors whose profiles are manufactured of limaçon curves. For these machines to perform satisfactorily, extreme care ...

Abstract: A circolimaçon positive displacement machine is driven by a limaçon mechanism, but the profiles of its rotor and housing are circular arcs. As such, its design models are different ...

Abstract: A method for predicting the punching strength of symmetric slab-column connections in flat slab structures is presented. The rational simplified model used was derived from a more complete one previously proposed by the ...

Abstract: Positive displacement expanders are quickly gaining popularity in the fields of micropower generation and refrigeration engineering. Unlike turbomachines, expanders can handle two-phase flow applications ...

Abstract: Limaçon machine, of which the relative motion between the rotor and housing follows the limaçon curve, belongs to a class of rotary positive displacement machines. The profiles of rotors and housings of those machines can ...

Abstract: A limaçon machine is a rotary positive displacement device, in which the housing and rotor are constructed of limaçon of Pascal curves. Previous works have been published to investigate the working of these machines in two ...

Abstract: This paper studies the response of ELBOW31 and ELBOW31B element types under pure bending conditions, using shell and beam element models for benchmarking. Various model lengths are evaluated, showing that a model length ...

Abstract: In this study, integrated photovoltaic thermal roofing system has been successfully built and tested to improve the photovoltaic efficiency as well as providing domestic hot water supply. The major components of the solar ...
