10.1 Introduction Heating is the first word in the acronym HVAC. It is the most impor-tant part because without heating mankind would have difficulty in surviving. Proper design of the heating system is even more critical than that of vent...
Abstract Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons and reinforcing bars (rebars) have been developed for use with concrete. FRP products are non-corrosive and lightweight when compared to traditional steel members. The current test program invo...
Abstract The design of gas liquid processes requires a detailed knowledge of bubble size distributions, since they determine the mass transfer. In this contribution the influence of operating conditions and physical properties of gas and li...
With society focusing more and more on environmental issues, the recycling of materials of all types has become an important concern. As a result of previous processing and usage, the properties of recycled materials are often significantly...
ALL-AIR SYSTEMS AN ALL-AIR SYSTEM provides complete sensible and latent cooling, preheating, and humidification capacity in the air sup-plied by the system. No additional cooling or humidification is required at the zone, except in the case...
Abstract This invention discloses one continuous high concentrated hydraulic slushier, which is characterized by the following: the said tank chamber, slushier rotor down part are set with paper pastry filter device to isolate tank inside ch...
Abstract Esterification of adipic acid and oleyl alcohol in a solvent-free system featuring a stirred tank reactor containing commercially immobilized Candida antarcticalipase B was performed. The process was carried out using an artificial...
Abstract A twisted tape is inserted into a double pipe u-tube heat exchanger with a view to generate swirl flow, thereby enhancing the heat transfer rate of the fluids flowing in it. Experimental investigations of heat transfer enhancement a...
Abstract The paper presents a wear model for worm gears that takes into account the pressure and film thickness generated in the elastohydrodynamic oil film that separates the tooth components. Wear is calculated based on the well known Arch...
ings subjected to lateral loads, and that they may require specific design treatment following the accepted design philosophy of the strong-column weak-beam. In earthquake-prone regions, the joints must be designed to allow the dissipation...
