Modeling Volatile Organics in the Delaware Estuary
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study is conducted to test whether calibrated tidal transport models linked to chemical process submodels can be applied to aquatic pollution problems using literature values for chemical properties. The chemical transport ...
Compression Behavior of Concrete Masonry Prisms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical investigation using a three‐dimensional finite element model was conducted to study the complex behavior of hollow block prisms under axial compression. Detailed stress distributions in different directions ...
Predicted and Measured Pressure Drop in Parallel Plate Rotary Regenerators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow in the passages of parallel plate rotary heat exchangers or regenerators is laminar and fully developed. Laminar flow theory should allow an accurate prediction of heat and mass ...
A Comparison of Volume of Fluid and Euler–Euler Approaches in Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Two-Phase Flows With a Sharp Interface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In aero-engines, it is important to predict the behavior of shear flows in the different parts such as bearing chambers or gearboxes. In bearing chambers, the thickness distribution of wavy films is well studied as two-phase ...
Utility Combustion Turbine Evaluation of Coal Liquid Fuels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comprehensive field test was performed to evaluate the suitability of H-Coal middle distillate and full-range Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) coal-derived liquids (CDLs) as utility combustion turbine ...
Formation and Control of Oxides of Nitrogen Emissions From Gas Turbine Combustion Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results of an investigation into the levels of oxides of nitrogen in Westinghouse gas turbine exhausts are presented. Various methods of controlling the amounts of these emissions were considered. ...
Field Evaluation of Cross-Frame and Girder Live-Load Response in Skewed Steel I-Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A better understanding of the relationships among girder stresses, cross-frame design, and skew angle of two steel I-girder bridges, which have moderate and high levels of skew and differing cross-frame designs, was revealed ...
Field Evaluation of Cross-Frame and Girder Live-Load Response in Skewed Steel I-Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A better understanding of the relationships among girder stresses, cross-frame design, and skew angle of two steel I-girder bridges, which have moderate and high levels of skew and differing cross-frame designs, was revealed ...
Comparison of the Monod and Droop Methods for Dynamic Water Quality Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Monod method is widely used to model nutrient limitation and primary productivity in water bodies. It offers a straightforward approach to simulate the main processes governing eutrophication and it allows the proper ...
Marketing Function in U.K. Construction Contracting and Professional Firms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The failure of construction firms to adopt modern management systems has been remarked on by many authors. The marketing function has come in for particular criticism. This inadequate attention to marketing is also manifested ...
