A mesoscopic computational model for simulation of gas flow through carbon nanotube (CNT) films is developed. The model is implemented in a parallel computational code enabling massively parallel dynamic simulations of CNT materials at length scales relevant to experimental studies. Self-diffusivity of Ar within CNT films with 9% volume fraction of the nanotubes and the effective diffusivity of...

This study investigates flow boiling of n-Perfluorohexane with saturated two-phase mixture inlet in a rectangular channel dimensions 114.6 mm heated length, 2.5 width, and 5 mm-height. The experiments were performed as part the Mission Sequence Testing Flow Boiling Condensation Experiment's (FBCE) Module (FBM) vertical upflow configuration Earth gravity using same experimental system that was l...

Three hominid molars were recovered from a depth of 7.0-7.1 meters in the Mumba Shelter at Lake Eyasi, northern Tanzania. Geological context of the finds and archaeological data indicate that people with a Middle Stone Age technology were using the Mumba locality intermittently whenever retreat of lake waters allowed access to the site. Uranium series dates suggest an age on the order of 130,00...

In present study, the two phase flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R410A, R32 and R290 in microchannels are demonstrated. The experimental data were conducted in horizontal stainless steel tubes with the inner diameter of 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm. The testing conditions were performed with the mass fluxes range from 200 to 500 kg/m2s, the heat fluxes from 10 to 20 kW/m2, the s...

Recent works using artificial neural networks based on distributed word representation greatly boost performance on various natural language processing tasks, especially the answer selection problem. Nevertheless, most of the previous works used deep learning methods (like LSTMRNN, CNN, etc.) only to capture semantic representation of each sentence separately, without considering the interdepen...
