Abstract: An analysis is presented which treats the noise generation from an axial flow fan row by given forces including the effects of a moving medium. The linearization of Euler’s equations to yield ...

Abstract: The working principle of particle-based solar receivers is to utilize the absorptivity of a dispersed particle phase in an otherwise optically transparent carrier fluid. In comparison to their traditional counterparts, ...

Abstract: Existing floating breakwaters of different types are examined and the performance of each studied. An important parameter identified with the performance characteristics of floating breakwaters is the width to wave length ratio

Abstract: A novel nonintrusive technique based on an air-coupled ultrasonic transducer was used to study the hydrodynamic behavior of falling film over metal foam layered horizontal tube. Copper foam having a porosity of 90.5%, ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic study was performed on a vapor compression refrigeration system (VCRS) with domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a refrigerant. LPG's coefficient of performance, power consumption, and refrigeration ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method for single-worker severity level prediction from already collected site images and video clips. Onsite safety observers often assess workers’ severity levels during construction activities. ...

Abstract: Current construction still suffers from significant schedule delays and budget overruns due to inefficient and retroactive project controls programs. This paper developed a visual and virtual project control system that ...

Abstract: This study investigated the potential of incorporating crushed brick powders (CBPs) and hydrated lime (HL) as additives in concrete production. Various tests were conducted on mortar, paste, and concrete samples to evaluate ...
