This article aims to determine roll waves generation criteria for mudflow events. A representative system of equations to mudflows is reached through Cauchy's equations (mass and momentum conservation) with proper stress ...

Theoretical expressions of the flow rate, output pressure and thermodynamic efficiency of electrokinetic pumping of non-Newtonian fluids through cylindrical and slit microchannels are reported. Calculations are carried out ...

For the configuration optimization of plate heat exchangers (PHEs), the mathematical models for heat transfer and pressure drop must be valid for a wide range of operational conditions of all configurations of the exchanger ...

A theoretical description of the electrokinetic flow of non-Newtonian fluids through slit and cylindrical microchannels is presented. Calculations are based on constitutive models of the fluid viscosity, and take into ...

Tibial component of knee prostheses, made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), experiences a high degree of wear and may be expected to last twelve years on average. In this work, a steady state one-dimensional ...

Laminar forced convection inside tubes of various cross-section shapes is of interest in the design of a low Reynolds number heat exchanger apparatus. Heat transfer to thermally developing, hydrodynamically developed forced ...
