in this work, three-dimensional turbulent forced convection flow through a b-type section pipe, which porous material inserted at the bottom wall, is investigated numerically. the b-type section pipe are used in cooling systems, such as cars’ radiators. the main purpose of this research is to enhance heat transfer and to reduce the scales of such systems. the governing equations are formulated ...

We study the incentives of two competing firms — the building block of any supply chain with downstream competition — to exchange private demand signals when demand is uncertain. The novelty and fundamental contribution of our paper lies in its consideration of ex–post or strategic information sharing, where the decision to share or to conceal a private demand signal is made after observing the...

In the present study, the mechanical behavior of AA5052 aluminum alloy during cold deformation and subsequent isothermal annealing in a temperature range of 225-300oC was investigated using the uniaxial tensile test data. It is found that by increasing the annealing time and temperature the material yield strength is decreased. The microstructural investigations of the annealed samples show tha...

Nowadays, electricity is one of the most significant infrastructures required for economic development of countries. Hence, predicting electricity demand is very important especially in industry as a major electricity-consuming sector. The majority of studies under the subject of electricity demand have been performed by econometrics and it is not possible to investigate the effect of different...

In this supplementary document, we first present additional experiments to show the convergence of training in Section 1.1 and compare the performance of exact matching against a frequently used approximate nearest neighbour search library in Section 1.2. We then show the speed-ups we gain by the strided implementation of the patch-based dilated convolutions in Section 2.1. We compare the runti...

1. Introduction The automotive industry is one of the most automated manufacturing industries worldwide nevertheless there is still a lot of potential for further improvements. On the given example of an existing production plant at DaimlerChrysler AG a new holonic concept has been developed by HMS partners breaking up rigid transfer line structures and introducing new concepts of flexible reso...

Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is a process for the production of excellent surface qualities of inner profiles that are difficult to access and outside edges, as well as for deburring and edge rounding. The grinding medium used in AFM consists of a polymer fluid, the so-called base, in which the abrasive grains are bound. The grinding medium is pressed along the contours at a defined pressure a...
