In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions for a pseudoparabolic equation modeling two-phase flow in a porous medium, where dynamic effects are included in the capillary pressure.

The problem of fully coupled thermoelasticity in a composite half-space is considered where the composite has variations in its physical properties in one direction only. The resulting one dimensional problem thus depends on the so called microscale of the composite. Homogenization of the fully coupled theory provides the leading order system of coupled equations (independent of the microscale)...

This study presents a thermodynamic model for determining the entrainment ratio and double choke limiting pressure of supersonic ejectors within the context of heat driven refrigeration cycles, with and without droplet injection, at the constant area section of the device. Input data include the inlet operating conditions and key geometry parameters (primary throat, mixing section and diffuser ...

Online discussion forum (ODF) has been touted to enrich the process of acquiring, sharing and exchanging knowledge among students and has increasingly being utilized to complement the conventional ways of teaching. Despite the widespread recognition of the benefits brought about by ODF, antecedent evidence indicates that the forum may not be utilized to its full potential due to lower than expe...

A. Appendix. We repeatedly use the notation for empirical measures and processes introduced in Section 2 following [2]. The fundamental idea of [2] is to view Gξj,Nj as the exchangeably weighted bootstrap empirical process corresponding to Gj,Nj ≡ √ Nj ( Pj,Nj − P0|j ) for j = 1, . . . , J . The processes Gξj,Nj converge weakly to √ pj(1− pj)Gj for independent P0|jBrownian bridge processes Gj ,...

Through the use of non-destructive optical techniques to measure the surface with high accuracy, two shearing interferometers were implemented to analyze the slope of phase objects using simultaneous phase-shifting shearing interferometry [Toto et al., 2010]. These optical configurations allow obtaining n-shearograms simultaneously to retrieve the optical phase data map with higher accuracy [Ro...

We study the consequences of antineutrino trapping in hot quark matter for quark star configurations with possible diquark condensation. Due to the conditions of charge neutrality and β-equilibrium the flavor asymmetry increases with the number density of trapped antineutrinos. Above a critical value of the antineutrino chemical potential of 30 MeV diquark condensation is inhibited at low densi...
