Abstract: A theoretical study on the maximum evaporation rate obtainable in a smallscale indirect solar dryer is presented, considering evaporation of free water. A mathematical model of the evolution of the temperature and the ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the strongly nonstationary squeeze of an oil film at the interface between the chain pin and pulley in chain belt continuously variable transmission. We concentrate on ...

Abstract: The bending of a receiver tube in two-phase flow under stratified conditions when water is first introduced to the hot steel receiver of a 14.5-m long parabolic trough concentrator is presented ...

Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) has experienced a breakthrough in many areas of application thanks to cheaper hardware and a strong industry commitment. In the field of management of urban facilities, this technology allows virtual ...

Abstract: Managing the design process of teams has been shown to considerably improve problem-solving behaviors and resulting final outcomes. Automating this activity presents significant opportunities in delivering interventions ...

Abstract: A numerical study of compressible jet flows is carried out using Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulence models such as kة› and kد‰SST. An experimental investigation is performed concurrently using highspeed ...

Abstract: A low-cost vibration-monitoring system was developed and installed on an urban steel-plated stress-ribbon footbridge. The system continuously measures the acceleration [using 18 triaxial microelectromechanical system (MEMS) ...
