Abstract: An investigation is conducted on the flow in a moderately wide gap between an inner rotating shaft and an outer coaxial fixed tube, with stationary end-walls, by three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) ...

Abstract: The rapid pace of technological and material advances has made it difficult to ascertain the most cost effective plan for manufacturing new products. The decision to identify the appropriate ...

Abstract: Solute transport in a multiquality water network is a complicated process, which recently gained increasing attention in view of the interest in environmental problems and the increased use of brackish water. A reduced‐scale ...

Abstract: Bridge structures are valuable national assets for transportation and economy that should be maintained properly for continuous stable operation. Corrosion is common in steel bridges; severe corrosion may result in significant ...

Abstract: A passive radio frequency identification (RFID)-based crack sensor was developed and its sensitivity to crack propagation on metallic plates has been experimentally validated. A crack propagation test method was designed ...

Abstract: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) absorption and desorption capacity of silicone rubber (SR) and silicone foam (SF) was characterized under shock loading conditions to evaluate their potential as VOCs absorbents in the ...

Abstract: In megacities and urban areas, grilling restaurants have been recognized as major sources of particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter under 2.5 μm (PM2.5). To reduce PM emissions from grilling fumes, we ...
