Evapotranspiration is a complex and non-linear phenomenon that depends on the interaction of several climatic parameters. As an alternative to traditional techniques, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are highly appropriate ...

The gas-cooler heat exchanger is a characteristic device of the refrigeration plants that use CO2 as the working fluid in transcritical conditions. The proper gas-cooler sizing, allows getting the maximum effectiveness in ...

This paper presents the results of an innovative use of the Delphi technique to obtain quantitative information for the evaluation of the Official Adjustment Rules for Damage Assessment in agricultural insurance. An efficient ...

The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in columns has become more frequent since a substantial reduction of the cross-section is obtained, meaning that slenderness increases for the same axial load and length, producing ...

Heat transfer in wall-flow monoliths has gained in interest because of the widespread adoption of these systems by automotive industry to fulfil soot emission regulations and the importance of heat exchange on the regeneration ...

[EN] The usage of three way junctions to merge fluid streams is widely extended. For certain applications, such as refrigeration systems or internal combustion engines, the mixing of humid gaseous flow leads to bulk condensation, ...

[EN] The mixing of gaseous streams at different humidity and temperature conditions may generate bulk con- densation, which is a particular thermodynamic process that usually implies a great computational effort. A model ...
