Abstract: Accurate determination of acousto-elastic natural frequencies in centrifugal compressors is important in order to avoid resonance events that may lead to machine failure. Compressors operating with CO2 at high pressures, ...

Abstract: Present research deals with multiphysics, pore-scale simulation of Li–O2 battery using multirelaxation time lattice Boltzmann method. A novel technique is utilized to generate an idealized electrode–electrolyte porous media ...

Abstract: Evaluation of pavement deflection bowl using nondestructive testing (NDT) is an ideal method for assessing the structural capacity of individual layers of a pavement system. However, the cost of modern NDT equipment and ...

Abstract: Textured functional surfaces are finding applications in the fields of bioengineering, surface energy, hydrodynamics, lubrication, and optics. Electrical discharge machining (EDM), which is normally used to generate smoother ...

Abstract: Wave breaking is one of the major concerns for offshore structures installed in shallow waters. Impulsive breaking wave forces sometimes govern the design of such structures, particularly in areas with a sloping sea bottom. ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to analyze the synchronization phenomena in a coupled friction-induced oscillator consisting of two cantilever beams with tip-masses subjected to base excitations. The coupling is ...

Abstract: Emulsion-Treated Base (ETB) is one of the most preferred base layer stabilization methods in which dense graded aggregates are treated with a slow setting bituminous emulsion. To reduce the cost of ETB and minimize the ...

Abstract: Thermal management of machinery spaces of marine vessels using a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is needed to maintain the temperature within the tolerable limit for efficient combustion in internal ...

Abstract: The porosity of the cathode in a lithium–oxygen battery is a crucial parameter that influences oxygen transport and active surface area availability. This study explores various cathode models with different initial porosity ...

Abstract: A good understanding of the general circulation features of the oceans, particularly of the coastal waters, and ability to predict the key oceanographic parameters with good accuracy and sufficient lead time are necessary ...
