Nanofilled EPDM composite for aerospace applications

O-rings are designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface. The joint may be static, or (in a few circumstances) may have relative motion betw...

Aerodynamic study of a small horizontal-axis wind turbine

The wind energy is deemed as one of the most durable energetic variants of the future because the wind resources are immense. Furthermore, one predicts that the small wind turbine will play a vital role in the urban envi...

A 2D description of the single crystal thin plate growth from the melt by micro- pulling- down method. Part 2

This paper is the second part of a 2D description of a single crystal thin plate growth by micro-pulling–down (μ-PD) method. This part concerns the following aspects: temperature distribution and melt flow in the melt–cr...

Turbulent Boundary Layer at Large Re

The fluids as deformable bodies without own shape, when starting from rest, experience interactions between the flowing fluid and the physical surfaces marking the bounds of flow. These interactions are a kind of impact...
