Abstract: A numerical procedure using Newton-Raphson technique is used for finding wet bulb temperature from observed dry bulb temperature relative humidity and barometric pressure. Assuming maximum temperatures ...

Abstract: While there have been various research activities to develop the green vehicles which reduce the energy consumption such as high-speed train, tilting train, light rail transit, wireless tram, and so on, researches on the ...

Abstract: A brief literature survey of human factors engineering as applied to machine design is presented. The literature has been classified under the categories: (i) static and functional body dimensions, ...

Abstract: The workspace of a regional structure of a manipulator is bounded by a Jacobian surface (where the Jacobian is singular) or a D -surface (where one or more of the joints achieve a limit ...

Abstract: A new method, for the investigation of manipulator workspace, based on polynomial displacement equations and their discriminants is proposed in this paper. The approach followed enables one to ...

Abstract: By introducing the equivalent roughness which is defined as the distance from the wall to where the velocity gets a certain value (u/uτ ≈ 8.5) and which can be represented by a simple ...

Abstract: Pitch motion of a gravity gradient satellite in an elliptical orbit is studied. The cell mapping method is employed to find periodic solutions and analyze the global behavior of the system. Stability characteristics of the ...

Abstract: A method is proposed which can be used to couple the two phenomena of plume rise and gravitational spreading in obtaining an integrated solution to the mixing in wastewater plumes from multiple port diffusers. Explicit ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented which enables estimation of the advective transport probabilities from a coastal wastewater discharge based on information that can be obtained from current measurements. From these, shoreline ...
