Abstract: Pumped water storage (PWS) is an advanced component of interbasin water transfer (IBWT) projects that plays a critical role in addressing streamflow variability. However, improper operating rules result in a large amount ...

Abstract: An experimental apparatus was designed and fabricated to measure the effective thermal conductivities and simulate the temperature and pressure history of reentry of a launch vehicle into a ...

Abstract: Forward contract is a useful tool for hydropower producers to hedge revenue uncertainty sourced from varied spot prices. However, few studies have been explored to jointly derive the optimal forward contract and operating ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic pressure is the major cause of vehicle hydroplaning in wet weather. By establishing a finite element model of the tire with longitudinal and transverse pattern, hydrodynamic pressure of the tire under different ...
