Abstract: Creeping viscous flow in a nonuniform pipe is analyzed by taking the local velocity profile and pressure gradients to be those of flow in a cone-shaped region. With this approach it is not ...

Abstract: It is shown that inertial waves in the form of standing asymmetrical pressure waves can exist in an incompressible liquid in a rotating sectored cylinder in a rigid body (e.g., a top or a ...

Abstract: At IC package lead counts above 100, the limiting factor for bond densification in single layer packages with gold wire interconnections shifts from pad pitch to a combination of lead tip ...

Abstract: Tool-life tests are reported which show the relationship between the alloy composition of high-speed steel twist drills and performance. Tool-life is shown to depend primarily on the composition ...

Abstract: Several problems in analysis can arise in estimating in-situ stresses from standard hydraulic fracturing operations if the borehole is not aligned with one of the principal stress directions. ...

Abstract: There are tens of thousands of industrial manufacturing facilities operating throughout the world. Each chemical plant, petroleum refinery, pharmaceutical plant and other manufacturing facility has ...
