Abstract: Experimental results are presented for the flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid, with full admission, between closely spaced corotating disks. The radial pressure distribution is shown to ...

Abstract: Our engineering societies' codes of ethics call for a commitment to public service. Holding public office is an excellent way to fulfill our obligation, and several ways to become involved are available. Engineers possess ...

Abstract: A factorial experiment was designed for evaluating the performance of a ceramic bonded solid film lubricant consisting of PbS/B2 O3 in a 6:1 weight ratio. The effects of three factors, each ...

Abstract: Research on tornadoes over the last 20 years has been conducted by a combination of universities, research institutions, federal agencies, and more recently by private meteorological companies. Recent advances in scientific ...

Abstract: The fatigue resistance of different bearing materials is usually given an “order of merit” in terms of specific load on the bearing. The bearing material cannot directly sense the applied ...

Abstract: An externally pressurized gas journal bearing which achieves its load carrying capability by utilizing flow throttling dams parallel to the direction of rotation is discussed in this paper. Test ...

Abstract: The heat transfer associated with various radiation shield designs has been investigated. Mathematical models were used to characterize the thermal performance of a vertical heated plate, with ...
