Abstract: The design of latent-heat storage devices requires the knowledge of the cycle time (the total melt-down time of the Phase Change Material (PCM)), and the variation of the Nusselt number along ...

Abstract: A comparison is made of the experimental and theoretical values of bending moment, shear force, deflection, and pressure for a reinforced concrete box culvert measuring 1,200 by 1,200 mm (inside dimensions) by 9-m long and ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete walls are the primary lateral load-resisting systems in numerous multistory buildings and nuclear structures located in seismically active regions. Hence, hysteresis behavior prediction of structural ...

Abstract: Commonality or the use of same components (parts, assemblies, or subsystems) among multiple products can reduce component inventory and simplify processes and logistics while accommodating variations in product demand. ...

Abstract: The steam consumption in a turbine within an operating pressure range determines the effectiveness of thermal energy conversion to electric power generation in a turbo-alternator. The low pressure (LP) stage of the steam ...

Abstract: The northeast monsoon (NEM) brings the bulk of annual rainfall to southeastern peninsular India, Sri Lanka, and the neighboring Southeast Asian countries. This October?December monsoon is referred to as the winter monsoon ...

Abstract: The impact of earthquake-induced landslides is a global concern, particularly in the Himalayas and its nearby region, leading to substantial socioeconomic losses. High seismicity along with intense rainfall and steep slopes ...

Abstract: Modern low-emission combustion systems with improved fuel-air mixing are more prone to combustion instabilities and, therefore, use advanced control methods to balance minimum NOx emissions and the presence of thermoacoustic ...
