Absorption refrigeration systems have been proposed as a reliable alternative to
conventional vapor compression systems over the years. In the past, efforts have been made …

Parallel flow channels have been widely used in industrial applications to improve reactor
performance. Substantial experimental evidence in the literature suggests that two-phase …

The effect of surfactants on vertical gas-liquid flow is experimentally investigated in a 12.7
mm diameter tube at conditions relevant to an ammonia-water bubble absorber. The …

In this paper, in order to maximize the degree of flow rate uniformity of the two phase flow
distribution into parallel vertical channels, a number of distributor fittings have been tested …

Recently, microchannel heat sinks have been emerged as a kind of high performance
cooling scheme to meet the heat dissipation requirement of electronics packaging and …

The air handling system for large diesel/gas engines such as those used on locomotive,
marine, and power generation applications require turbochargers with a high reliability and …

Linear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller stands for the most widespread
technique in industrial applications due to its simple structure and easy tuning rules …

Reinforced polyester composites are widely used in many applications where puncture
resistance is important. This research is aimed at understanding whether exposure to …

A finite difference model of a heat exchanger (HX) considered maldistribution, axial
conduction, heat leak, and the edge effect, all of which are needed to model a high …

The aeroelastic characteristics of the slender wing with store have been studied for several
years. However, the nonlinear aeroelastic behaviors of the wing-store system have not been …
