RISThermal Destruction of Solid Wastes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The United States generates the largest amount of solid waste per person in the world. The old practice of direct landfilling and storage is receiving greater public resistance and is attributing ...
Thermal Characteristics of Gaseous Fuel Flames Using High Temperature Air
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent advances on high temperature air combustion (HiTAC) have demonstrated significant energy savings, higher and uniform thermal field, lower pollution, and smaller size of the equipment for ...
Rational and Economical Multicomponent Seismic Design of Piping Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The seismic analysis of complex piping systems is often carried out by the response spectrum method. The maximum probable responses are calculated as the square root of the sum of the squares ...
Determination of Propane and Air Maximum Mixing Times
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The model of gaseous fuel and air mixing, developed by the authors, is applied here to calculate maximum mixing times of propane and air. The degree of mixing is determined using the mass ...
Effect of Air Preheat Temperature and Oxygen Concentration on Flame Structure and Emission
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The structure of turbulent diffusion flames with highly preheated combustion air (air preheat temperature in excess of 1150°C) has been obtained using a specially designed regenerative ...
Modal Combination in Response Spectrum Analysis of Piping Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Modal combination methods in the response spectrum analysis of piping systems have been investiaged. Two particular effects are identified, viz, (i) the residual rigid response, also known as ...
Influence of Imperfections in Working Media on Diesel Engine Indicator Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several improvements to the mathematical model for the indicator process in a diesel engine cylinder are proposed. The thermodynamic behavior of working media is described by the equation of ...
Enhancement of Methane-Air Mixing Using Shock and Expansion Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A unified model of gaseous fuel and air mixing is applied here to study the use of shock waves for enhancement of mixing between methane and air. The model uses fuel mass fraction within ...
Thermal Destruction Behavior of Plastic and Nonplastic Wastes in a Laboratory-Scale Facility
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental and theoretical studies are presented from a laboratory-scale thermal destruction facility on the destruction behavior of surrogate plastic and nonplastic solid wastes. The nonplastic ...
Testing and Modeling Two Rockfill Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modeled rockfill materials consisting of rounded and angular particles obtained from two dam sites are subjected to drained triaxial tests using large size specimens. An elastoplastic constitutive model based on the disturbed ...
