Measured Effects of Flow Leakage on the Performance of the GT-225 Automotive Gas Turbine Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A GT-225 regenerative gas turbine engine was used to obtain engine performance data with varied rates of simulated internal leakage. Regenerator hot surface rim and crossarm seal leaks as well ...
Disaster Resilience of Critical Water Infrastructure Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Critical water infrastructure systems (e.g., drinking water treatment, transmission, and distribution; and wastewater and stormwater collection and treatment) are critical functions of a healthy society. Disaster resilience ...
Disaster Resilience of Critical Water Infrastructure Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Critical water infrastructure systems (e.g., drinking water treatment, transmission, and distribution; and wastewater and stormwater collection and treatment) are critical functions of a healthy society. Disaster ...
Environmental Impact Assessment of the Fabrication of Pipe Rehabilitation Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the consistent increase in the global population, sustainable construction has become a trend that will need to be practiced in perpetuity. The three main factors of sustainable construction that should be considered ...
Demonstration and Evaluation of Innovative Rehabilitation Technologies for Water Infrastructure Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Critical Data Needs Associated with Asbestos Cement Pipe Renewal Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asbestos cement (AC) pipe accounts for approximately 15% of the total length of water distribution system piping in North America. Pipe renewal activities are needed to maintain these pipes as they deteriorate, but concerns ...
Fully Automated Decision Support System for Assessing the Suitability of Trenchless Technologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Decisions related to the rehabilitation of wastewater and water infrastructure are increasingly more complicated as the number and complexity of technologies in the marketplace increases. Established methods, such as ...
Current and Emerging Water Main Renewal Technologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The funding needed to address aging water infrastructure ranges in the hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 25 years, and at current replacement rates, pipes are being expected to last for 200 years, although pipes ...
Impact of Hurricanes and Flooding on Buried Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The impacts of large-scale disasters such as major hurricanes can be quite apparent after the event, but the effects on buried infrastructure are less apparent at the time of the disaster and can have long-term effects on ...
Evaluation of Carbon Footprint of Pipeline Materials during Installation, Operation, and Disposal Phases
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Most of the pipelines in the US are rapidly reaching the end of their useful service life. Now they need replacing or rehabilitating. In general, selection of a pipeline installation method is solved by selecting the lowest ...
