Abstract: Characteristics of sitespecific solar irradiation is required to optimize a solar energy system. If no tracking system is used, the amount of electricity or heat produced by solar energy depends on the total solar radiation ...

Abstract: Due to the very high speeds on railways and motorways, the relationship between the horizontal and vertical geometry of roads with respect to the road dynamics has become very important. In recent publications, new transition ...

Abstract: This study argues that businesses, as principal units of both the economy and the urban environment, show different performances in the postdisaster period that in turn affect the community-level recovery. To this end, the ...

Abstract: Precise leveling has been used for the determination of accurate heights for many years. The application of this technique is difficult, time consuming, and expensive, especially in rough terrain. These difficulties have ...

Abstract: In this study, experimental and numerical analyses of natural convection in a quadrantal cavity heated and cooled on adjacent walls have been made to examine heat and fluid flow. Experimental ...

Abstract: In this study, fully developed mixed convective heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid in a vertical microannulus between two concentric microtubes is analytically investigated by taking the velocity ...

Abstract: This work addresses the issue of fitting a geometrical shape to the Hierapolis theater near the city of Denizli, Turkey. The aim of the study was to determine the geometrical shape of the theater that would best fit the ...

Abstract: The source/sink terms in groundwater flow are singularities that require special treatment in the numerical solution of a mathematical model. Except for the case of a point source, these singularities are not consistently ...
