Abstract: The world is facing an imminent energy supply crisis. In order to sustain and increase our energy supply in an environmentally conscious manner, it is necessary to advance renewable technologies. An area of recent interest ...

Abstract: The state principle is an important and fundamental thermodynamic concept. Having only recently been formally stated, however, there is still some disagreement as to the basis of the principle’s ...

Abstract: Observations of atmospheric clouds formed by hot springs and geysers were made at Yellowstone Park in the wintertime with free atmospheric temperatures warmer and colder than ?40C. Despite careful observations, no evidence ...

Abstract: In the previous paper (Part 1) ( and , 2006, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 128, pp. 142–150), the multiphase isothermal lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) model and single phase thermal LBE (TLBE) model ...

Abstract: A new and generalized lattice Boltzmann model for simulating thermal two-phase flow is described. In this model, the single component multi-phase lattice Boltzmann model proposed by Shan and ...

Abstract: The generalized Ekman equation is often used for micrometeorological applications. Use of the noniterative numerical technique of superposition reveals that the vertical variation of both the eddy diffusivity and the thermal ...

Abstract: Accurate and complete information on underground municipal utility systems becomes increasingly important and difficult to maintain as cities grow and the urban infrastructure becomes more complicated. It is desirable to ...
