Abstract: The accurate characterization of compressor rotordynamic coefficients during the design phase reduces the risk of subsynchronous vibration problems occurring in the field. Although rotordynamists extensively investigate ...

Abstract: Alternative materials such as geopolymers appear to have potential advantages compared to Portland cement. However, the application of geopolymers for all sections of the well is still a major challenge due to the difference ...

Abstract: Models of the enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) in super-hot igneous rocks have demonstrated significantly higher heat transfer rates and power production compared to conventional geothermal systems. On the other hand, ...

Abstract: Counterbalanced, center control, high-lift trucks with a sit-down, non-elevating operator position are required to have a restraint system. The restraint system is intended to restrain the operator in the normal operating ...

Abstract: Physical modeling of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is challenging due to the complexities associated with the simultaneous application of two different scaling laws, governing the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic ...

Abstract: Mechanical characterization of the ex vivo tricuspid valve (TV) continues to provide key insights into native valve function and the development of valvular diseases. However, experimental methods to characterize TV ...

Abstract: Three-bladed Darrieus-type vertical axis water turbine is a promising solution for producing electricity with minimal impact on the environment. Although considered a viable option, straight-bladed Darriues-type turbines ...

Abstract: Protective biology and engineering are an integrated discipline aiming to understand the naturally occurring protective mechanisms established through an evolution in response to environmental insults and genetic defects ...

Abstract: We describe a roadmap using three sets of technologies to enable base-load nuclear reactors to replace all fossil fuels in a low-carbon world. The technologies integrate nuclear, wind, solar, hydroelectricity and biomass ...

Abstract: The current manual process for property deed recording lacks automation, efficiency, and transparency. Real estate transactions require disjointed efforts from multiple parties, and they only become legally binding once ...
