Abstract: A numerical investigation is presented assessing the effects of hydrogen compositions and nonflammable diluent mixtures on the combustion and NO emission characteristics of syngas nonpremixed flames for a bluffbody burner. ...

Abstract: A bluff body burner was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to assess the effects of inlet turbulence intensity and compare the combustion characteristics with and without the bluff-body modeled in the ...

Abstract: Improving air pollution control systems is crucial for incinerators to be an option for sewage sludge disposal. Combinations of venturi and tray tower scrubbers are the most popular air pollution control system for sewage ...

Abstract: In order to capture noncooperative targets at close distance, vision-based target detection and tracking have been used as key technologies with great challenges. This paper proposes a novel triangular component detecting ...

Abstract: Flood frequency analysis (FFA) provides an important basis for determining the construction size of hydraulic facilities. The selection of a suitable distribution and parameter estimation method (D/E procedure) is of vital ...

Abstract: Full-depth lock-exchange experiments of saltwater with a lock length x0 of 40 m were conducted in a horizontal open channel in order to gain insight into the gravity currents of long lock releases. Without the effects ...

Abstract: This study aims to establish an appropriate method to calculate the bearing deformation of large-diameter bored piles in alluvial deposits with soils characterized mainly by medium-dense to dense silt, fine sand, and plastic ...

Abstract: Hydroplaning is a phenomenon that occurs when a layer of water between the tire and pavement pushes the tire upward. The tire detaches from the pavement, preventing it from providing sufficient forces and moments for the ...
