A large amount of accurate river cross-section data is indispensable for predicting river stages. However, the measured river cross-section data are usually sparse in the transverse direction at each cross-section as well as in the longitudinal direction along the river channel. This study presents three algorithms to resample the river cross-section data points in both the transverse and longi...

Recently, gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire field effect transistors (NWFETs) have attracted increasing attention due to their superior gate control and short channel effect immunity [1-4]. However, confined by the limitation of manufacturing process, the different aspect ratio (AR) results in different shapes of channel cross section, such as ellipse-shaped or rectangular-shaped instead of the id...

In this study, a periodic zigzag channel with rectangular cross-section has been used in order to obtain a high-efficiency system for cooling a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. An appropriate function of fuel cells and enhancement of their lifetime require uniform temperature conditions of around 80°C. On the other hand, due to volume and weight constraints, a low-density compact heat exchanger i...

Abstract In this paper, several analytical models are presented for the optimal design of a trapezoidal composite channel cross-section. The objective function is cost per unit length channel, which includes excavation and lining costs. To define system, variables including depth, width, side slopes, freeboard, roughness coefficients were used. constraints include Manning’s equation, flow veloc...
