Abstract: The Muskingum principle of flood routing is applicable to a single channel reach bounded by two measuring sections with no lateral inflow in the reach. The basic Muskingum model provides a forecasting form that may be used ...

Abstract: In this article, by using exergoeconomic approach, an economic evaluation of reverse Brayton cycle-based refrigerator has been performed for 10 kW range cooling capacity at 65 K. One of the typical application domains of ...

Abstract: Trends and periodicities in the annual rainfall of India were studied using data for 48 stations having record lengths of over 70 yr. Increasing or decreasing rainfall tendencies were found over large continuous areas in ...

Abstract: A model for real-time flood forecasting in river systems with large drainage areas has been developed. Flow variations between upstream and downstream stations are interlinked and are typically governed by reach properties. ...

Abstract: Applications of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in forecasting flow rates at multiple sections in a river system are presented. Model formulations are based on learning characteristics of the actual and fractional storage ...

Abstract: Depleting timber resources has generated interest in bamboo, a traditional sustainable building material of the tropics. However, dearth of strength data has been a major hindrance in its engineered application. The present ...

Abstract: A study of the breakup of planar viscous liquid sheets subjected to gas flow on both sides was conducted. A linear spatial stability analysis was used to determine the instability wave ...

Abstract: Supercritical helium owing to its singlephase characteristics and enhanced heat transfer near the pseudocritical region is envisaged as a potential coolant for superconducting magnets used in particle accelerators and ...

Abstract: The Indian economy is very closely linked with the variable performance of the summer monsoon. The incidence of dry and wet conditions over the country has been examined for the period 1871?1978 by examining the normal ...

Abstract: A long rainfall series for the contiguous Indian region for the summer monsoon season (June-September), when more than 75% of the annual rainfall occurs over large parts of the country, has been constructed by considering ...
