چکیده
The process of freezing of water and blockage of pipes are summarized. Current research on freezing and its applications are briefly reviewed. Design concepts are introduced for doing work by utilizing pressures caused by ice blockage. Several conceptual designs are presented for experimental setups for the isostatic pressurization of thin walled tubes. Potential practical uses of pressures generated by freezing of water and blockage are mentioned. These include the burst testing of tubes made of composite materials, compaction of powders, as well as the plastic deformation of thin tubes.

Numerical Analysis of Melting Process of Compounds Containing Nanoparticles for the Development of Phase Change Process
In this work, the melting process of compounds containing nanoparticles of NePCM in a square hole with different angles affected by two pairs of well-spring heat source on horizontal walls was numerically investigated. Four different configurations of elements were employed to investigate the effect of changes in the position of elements on the horizontal walls of the well-spring landscape on t...
متن کاملImprovement of thermal performance of a solar chimney based on a passive solar heating system with phase-change materials
Passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. Therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. Phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the nig...

متن کاملTBM Tunneling Construction Time with Respect to Learning Phase Period and Normal Phase Period
In every tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling project, there is an initial low production phase so-called the Learning Phase Period (LPP), in which low utilization is experienced and the operational parameters are adjusted to match the working conditions. LPP can be crucial in scheduling and evaluating the final project time and cost, especially for short tunnels for which it may constitute a ...
