Covering the energy demand by using environmentally friendly resources is a major challenge of the present. Gas turbines take a central role in accomplishing this objective, as they allow for bridging periods of a deficit in available renewable energy sources. The application of…
Steam turbines are an integral part of power generating systems. The durability and reliability of steam turbines depend heavily on the integrity of their blades. In the last stages of a steam turbine, steam condenses and produces droplets. The effect of these droplets on the ef…
Enerji endüstrisi, ekonomik ve sosyal meslek perspektiflerinden, ürün, hizmet ve mal sağlayıcılarından en önemli alanlardan biridir. Bu endüstri, daha iyi yaşam koşullarının sağlanması için tüm insan faaliyetlerine önemli ölçüde katkıda bulunduğu için, nüfusun ve ulusal ekonomin…
The age of Earth's inner core is one of the fundamental unanswered questions in deep Earth science. The timing of inner core nucleation is a hugely significant event in Earth’s evolution and has been the subject of intense debate. Some of the most recent theoretical estimates fo…
Extreme heat is one of the most important pathways illustrating the connection between climate and human health, including in temperate areas such as the Pacific Northwest. Moreover, climate change is expected to exacerbate this important public health issue. This research has t…
Terrestrial vegetation plays a key role in land surface-atmosphere interactions as the primary link for moisture (evapotranspiration) and energy (latent) exchange. Consequently, the regional to global effects of historical and expected land use/cover changes (LUCCs) due to both …
Basin and Petroleum System Modeling (BPSM) is coupled-physics approach that tracks over the course of basin history, the evolution of basin geometry, compaction, pressure, fluid flow, temperature, and chemical transformation of organic matter to quantitatively predict petroleum …
Environmental temperatures are among the most significant factors affecting the ecology, behaviour, and evolution of organisms across all levels of biological organization. As such, understanding the impacts that natural thermal regimes have on organisms is central to the study …
Attempts to design public markets in Oman failed to capture the social and cultural essence of historical markets in the region. The versatility of use and utilization of site resources in public markets diminished due to focusing primarily on the commercial aspect and the utili…
Throwing Shade introduces a series of public cooling landscapes designed to offer relief both daily and in emergencies. Through considering networks of infrastructure and public acupuncture, the design proposes heat escapes situated within, and with the capacity to be leveraged …
Wheel tread damage leading to high magnitudes of vertical wheel–rail contact forces is a major cause of train delays in the Swedish railway network, in particular during the coldest months of the year. According to regulations, vehicles generating contact forces exceeding the li…
