The problem of simple mathematical models of laminar natural convective
flow within a long vertical parallel-plate channels and circular tubes kept at
uniformly heated walls is revisited to seek a clear physical understanding of heat
transfer mechanisms. A series solution method to analyze the fully developed flow
and an integral...
Significant improvements in production effectiveness have resulted from
implementing cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). Following the cell formation, an
important issue that needs to be addressed is the unequal cell (or department/facility)
layout problem, which is the sub-issue in the CF problem. The work reported in this
thesis illustrates the assignment...
The cockpit is an environment in which many important tasks simultaneously
compete for pilot attention. Cockpit Task Management (CTM) is the process by
which pilots selectively attend to flight tasks in such a way as to safely and
effectively complete a flight. CTM has been categorized as a mental function...
