We present experiments on a monolayer of air-fluidized beads in which a jamming transition is approached by increasing pressure, increasing packing fraction, and decreasing kinetic energy. This is accomplished, along with a noninvasive measurement of pressure, by tilting the system and examining behavior versus depth. We construct an equation of state and analyze relaxation time versus effectiv...

creating a clear purposeful image of a city in the minds of its stakeholders –especially its residents- could attract more investors, tourists and immigrants. urban management has received a remarkable attention in recent years. one of the most interesting topics in urban management is the concept of identity and especially image. as well as organizations and persons we can depict images for ci...

a numerical model is developed to simulate the transport phenomena in the flow channel between parallel plates with porous and non-porous (or impermeable) walls. the continuity and momentum equations were solved first, assuming the wall reynolds number in the range of with the suction or injection of air at a speed equal to the uniform inlet velocity. the results show that at constant inlet and...

    Given the need to increase the efficiency of heat transfer in thermal systems, especially systems using nanofluids in microscale and nanoscale heat transfer equipment ideas to improve their performance is very good.In present study, the flow and heat transfer of Water-Cu nanofluid in micro-tube with slip regime with constant wall heat flux numerically simulated with low Reynolds numbers. Sl...
