Abstract: Elbows, attached to component nozzles or adjacent piping, experience a stiffening effect due to the restraint of ovalization provided by the nozzle or pipe. Using the thin-shell, finite difference ...

Abstract: Geometric irregularities, such as ovality, in thin-walled elbows are known to give additional stresses under internal pressure loading. This paper presents results of detailed analyses, using the ...

Abstract: An experiment was performed to study air∕water slug frequency in a horizontal clear pipe by means of visual inspection and differential pressure measurement in the range of 0–1∕s. Results showed ...

Abstract: This case study paper presents an innovative fast-track approach applied to a heavily trafficked urban freeway reconstruction project in Southern California. Badly deteriorated truck lanes in both directions along a

Abstract: The flow of a constant property fluid through a sinusoidal groove has been analyzed. A numerical solution of the conservation of mass and momentum equations for fully developed flow is presented. ...

Abstract: A set of experiments was performed to study flow pattern suppression in horizontal air-water pipe flow by means of surfactant additive. Results suggest that addition of the surfactant to the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mobile workstation chariot (MWC) that enables first responders and civil engineers to undertake initial disaster reconnaissance and damage assessment operations by quickly traversing hazardous terrain ...

Abstract: The distribution of natural organic carbon was investigated at a chloroethene-contaminated site where complete reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to vinyl chloride and ethene was observed. In this study, ...
