Abstract: Internal flow of pure vapor experiencing film condensation on the walls of a straight horizontal duct is studied. The commonly occurring annular case of turbulent (or laminar) vapor flow in ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of the behavior of brick masonry under cyclic biaxial compressive loading is presented. The experimental investigation involved biaxial tests on 45 half‐scale brick masonry specimens. Three ...

Abstract: Accurate steady and unsteady numerical solutions of the full two-dimensional (2D) governing equations for the Nusselt problem (film condensation of quiescent saturated vapor on a vertical wall) ...

Abstract: The momentum-flux development from three-dimensional free jets has been investigated. The analysis is presented for free jets from circular, triangular, rectangular and elliptical orifices. The ...

Abstract: A generalized approach is proposed to determine the envelope, common‐point, and stability‐point curves for brick masonry in cyclic, biaxial compression. The approach uses a family of interaction curves to predict the peak ...

Abstract: Reloading and unloading stress‐strain curves of brick masonry tested under uniaxial cyclic compressive loadings perpendicular and parallel to the bed joint are discussed. A simple mathematical model is proposed to predict ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to study the behavior of brick masonry under cyclic compressive loading. The envelope stress‐strain curve, the common point curve, and the stability point curve were established for ...

Abstract: The turbulent entrainment mechanism of a swirling plume surrounded by a potential vortex and a swirling jet and a wake in a uniform stream has been discussed. With the assumption of the ...

Abstract: Estimation of thermal resistivity of soils is normally done in the laboratory with the help of a laboratory thermal probe. However, as naturally occurring soils consist of various size fractions, ranging from clay to gravel, ...
