Abstract: The adoption of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology in power generation has been limited, in no small part, by material degradation issues affecting the stack lifetime, and hence, the economic viability. A numeric study ...

Abstract: The world's driest coastal desert is in South America along the coasts of Peru and Chile. The desert's maintenance is investigated by studying the local dynamics of the low-level southerly flow along the coast. A linear ...

Abstract: This paper reports the computational results of an investigation of oil storage tanks with the shape of an open cylindrical shell under thermal loads induced by fire. Interest in this problem has arisen as a consequence ...

Abstract: Based on two-dimensional (2D) flow model simulations, the effects of the radial structure of the flow (e.g., the nonuniformity of the velocity profile) on the pipe wall shear stress,

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Morgantown, WV has developed the hybrid performance (HyPer) project in which a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) onedimensional (1D), realtime ...

Abstract: Climate change has raised consciousness of the need to use cleaner energy instead of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, a change of consciousness regarding resource use has to be achieved, which can be triggered by energy consumption ...

Abstract: Assuming 1D flow in pressurized systems, transient analyses can be performed using a number of well-established models. In the short-term timescale, practical problems are solved using either elastic or rigid models, whereas ...

Abstract: Two wind models were developed and their results were compared with data gathered during the Wangara experiment, so as to characterize their uncertainty. One of the models was adopted to ...

Abstract: When a problem of hydraulic transients with entrapped air in pipelines and/or with water‐column separation is tackled, the variation of the length of the liquid column is not usually taken into account. In this paper (due ...
