Abstract: In recent climate sensitivity experiments with the Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3), a wide range of studies have found that the Community Land Model, version 3 (CLM3), simulates mean global evapotranspiration ...

Abstract: A model to predict the elastic material properties of reticulated porous ceramics (RPCs) based on the microstructural geometry is presented. The RPC is represented by a repeating unit structure of truncated octahedrons ...

Abstract: This work reports the elastic modulus and four-point flexural strength of a gelcast ceramic, cerium dioxide (ceria), with a microporosity of nominally 20% and a grain size of 11 μm from 23 to 1500 °C. The data augment the ...

Abstract: ontinental temperature inversions significantly influence air quality, yet little is known about their variability in frequency and intensity with time or sensitivity to dynamical changes with climate. Inversion statistics ...

Abstract: Existing analytical flow models for predicting flow rates at microscale seal displacements are limited to two separate domains. The first assumes a small channel length to height aspect ratio at relatively large seal ...

Abstract: An approach for controlling a hydrostatic dynamometer for the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of hybrid vehicles is proposed and experimentally evaluated. The hydrostatic dynamometer, which is capable of absorbing and ...

Abstract: A prototype 4 kW solar thermochemical reactor for the continuous splitting of carbon dioxide via the isothermal ceria redox cycle is demonstrated. These first tests of the new reactor showcase both the innovation of ...

Abstract: The design procedure for a 3 kWth prototype solar thermochemical reactor to implement isothermal redox cycling of ceria for CO2 splitting is presented. The reactor uses beds of mmsized porous ceria particles contained in ...
