RISNSF-Water Quality Index: Does It Represent the Experts’ Opinion?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the last four decades, a number of environmental indices including water quality indices and air pollution indices have been formulated and used. Usually, the indices are formulated based either on studies conducted ...
Selection of the Appropriate Aggregation Function for Calculating Leachate Pollution Index
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A technique to quantify the leachate pollution potential of landfills on a comparative scale using an index known as the Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) has been developed and reported elsewhere. The LPI is a quantitative ...
Errors Involved in the Estimation of Leachate Pollution Index
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An environmental index known as the leachate pollution index (LPI) to quantify and compare the leachate contamination potential of municipal landfills in a given geographical area was developed and reported elsewhere. The ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Thermal Performance of an Air-Cooled Battery Module Under High Ambient Temperature Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are widely used in electric vehicles due to their high energy and power density. The operating temperature has a significant impact on the thermal performance and longevity of LiBs. The thermal ...
Influence of Swirl and Primary Zone Airflow Rate on the Emissions and Performance of a Liquid-Fueled Gas Turbine Combustor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the influence of swirl number (S) and primary zone airflow rate on the temperature, emission indices of the pollutants, and combustion efficiency in an atmospheric ...
Influence of Differential ITZ Thickness around the Aggregate on Properties of Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in concrete is a layer of highly porous cement paste along the aggregate boundary and has a significant influence on the properties of concrete. Existing studies consider uniform ...
Lateral Response of a Piled Raft under Combined Vertical and Lateral Loading in Cohesionless Medium in 1<i>g</i> Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Piled raft foundations are subjected to simultaneous vertical and lateral loads in onshore, nearshore, and marine environment conditions. A limited understanding of the performance of piled rafts in these combined loading ...
Experimental Study on Performance of a Solar Thermal-Driven Vapor Absorption System Integrated With Hot Thermal Energy Storage for Milk Chilling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar thermal-driven vapor absorption system has proven to be a feasible and viable cooling source. However, most reported installations for milk chilling applications are equipped with an auxiliary heater that consumes ...
Impact of Climate Change on Multihazard Performance of River-Crossing Bridges: Risk, Resilience, and Adaptation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Enhanced flood hazard due to global warming and climate change imposes an additional threat to safety and serviceability of river crossing bridges. This study proposes an integrated approach to assess how climate change ...
Tribological Influences of CuO Into 3Y-TZP Ceramic Composite in Conformal Contact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the friction and wear phenomena of 3 mol % yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) ceramics with the inclusion of copper oxide (CuO) in large area conformal contact ...
