simulation of turbulence boiling, generation of vapour and predication of its behaviour are still subject to debate in the two-phase flow area and they receive a high level of worldwide attention. in this study, a new arrangement of the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow with heat and mass transfer are derived by using ensemble averaging two-fluid model and util...

The one-dimensional, cylindrical nature of single-walled carbon nanotubes SWCNTs suggests that the ideal gating geometry for nanotube field-effect transistors FETs is a surround gate SG . Using vertical SWCNTs templated in porous anodic alumina, SGs are formed using top-down processes for the dielectric/metal depositions and definition of the channel length. Surround gates allow aggressive scal...

[1] The widely used transmission-line (TL) model of lightning return stroke in a vertical channel is most rigorously represented by a vertical phased array of current sources that produce a spherical transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave in the case of return-stroke speed v equal to the speed of light c. If the radius of the lightning channel were equal to zero, the equivalent representation co...

Vertical composition of security protocols means that an ap-plication protocol (e.g., a banking service) runs over a chan-nel established by another protocol (e.g., a secure channel provided by TLS). This naturally gives rise to a compositionality question: given a secure protocol P1 that providesa certain kind of channel as a goal and another secure proto-col P2 that assumes th...

this study seeks to examine how a company can select the best intermediary for its marketing channels with minimum of criteria and time. a theoretical framework is proposed based on the most important tasks of intermediary and the criteria to measure them. there are four basic tasks and thirty criteria in three independent levels. subsequently, an exploratory case study in iranian food industry...

[1] The temporal and spatial variability of vertical salt flux in the Fraser River Estuary, British Columbia, was investigated observationally, using several different direct and indirect indicators of buoyancy flux. Data were collected from the estuary using shipboard instrumentation, primarily an acoustic Doppler current profiler and a towed conductivitytemperature-depth unit. Direct estimate...

In order to investigate the influence of the vertical variation of porosity on open-channel flow with submerged vegetation, vertical non-homogeneous stumps and stems in submerged vegetation flow are simulated with truncated cones in a laboratory flume. First, porosity is defined as a function of water depth. A new governing equation for vegetation flow is established on the basis of the poroela...

P-type and N-type multi-gate vertical thin film transistors (vertical TFTs) have been fabricated, adopting the low-temperature (T ≤ 600°C) polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) technology. Stacked heavily-doped polysilicon source and drain are electrically isolated by an insulating barrier. Multi-teeth configuration is defined by reactive ion etching leading to sidewalls formation on which undo...

Experimental study of natural convection heat transfer inside smooth and rough surfaces of vertical and inclined equilateral triangular channels of different inclination angles with a uniformly heated surface are performed. The inclination angle is changed from 15o to 90o. Smooth and rough surface of average roughness (0.02mm) are used and their effect on the heat transfer characteristics are s...
