Abstract: Method presented in the paper is a reconsideration of the already published equations for a quick and reliable verification of experimental results related to direct contact condensers with zero vapor outflow. Both original ...

Abstract: This is a study of anticyclonic activity over a past of southern Europe in which several anticyclogenetic areas have been noted. There is also a relationship between cyclonic and anticyclonic activity in this region. We ...

Abstract: Special emphasis is given to the fact that there exists a very close relation between cyclo- and anticyclo-genesis and the form of mountain obstacles., i.e., the properties expressed by ?2z/?x?y (the convergence and ...

Abstract: ASME B31.3, the leading process piping system design code, has included in its 2018 edition a new procedure for evaluation of high cycle fatigue in process piping systems. As stated in the Appendix W of ASME B31.3-2018, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of laboratory experiments conducted to study the spreading rates of axisymmetric intrusive gravity currents produced by a constant inflow into a stratified body of water. The experiments ...

Abstract: In the engineering practice, it is often necessary to define supporting scheme and expansion loop requirements for piping distribution systems in very early phases of a project. While placing pipe supports is a relatively ...

Abstract: Decarbonization and sustainability efforts challenge gas turbine engineers to come up with creative strategies for reduction of emissions and efficiency increase over the whole operating range. Burner staging at part loads ...

Abstract: In the engineering practice, it may often prove necessary to provide quick and relatively accurate estimates of piping routing and material requirements in very early stages of a project. In these cases, there is typically ...

Abstract: High strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic neutrality make fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) a suitable candidate in many structural applications, including rehabilitation and strengthening as well ...

Abstract: The short‐term mechanical behavior of a novel prestressing technique is described. The technique involves external bonding of pretensioned fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) composite sheets on the tension zones of structural ...
