Abstract: AbstractIn this study, an analytical solution for the steady-state fractional advection?diffusion equation was obtained to simulate the atmospheric dispersion of pollutants in a vertically inhomogeneous planetary boundary ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the simulation of a complete mechanical model of a turbomolecular pump rotor, including rotor and blades flexibility, suspended by controlled active magnetic bearings. The mechanical model is composed ...

Abstract: An experimental machine using elastomer rod has been developed for the forming of tee-junction on metal tubes. This was achieved by applying loading-unloading cycles to the tube and the elastomer ...

Abstract: A mathematical scheme is developed to simulate the vertical turbulent dispersion of air pollution that is absorbed or deposited to the ground. The scheme is an exact analytical solution of the atmospheric diffusion equation, ...

Abstract: Accounting for the current knowledge of the convective boundary layer structure and characteristics, a new formulation for the eddy diffusivities to be used in atmospheric dispersion models has been derived. That is, ...

Abstract: An experimental passive methane oxidation biocover (PMOB) was constructed within the existing final cover of the St-Nicéphore landfill. Its substrate consisted of a 0.80-m-thick mixture of sand and compost. The goal of ...

Abstract: The web benchmarking systems broadly used in the construction industry (CI) are designed to provide results based on key performance indicators (KPIs). No insights concerning organization overall performance and improvements ...
