Influence of Combined Load on the Performance of Geosynthetics as Antireflective Cracking System in Semirigid Base Asphalt Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the antireflective cracking performance of geosynthetics under different combinations of traffic load and temperature variation (thermal load). Four ratios of traffic ...
Linear Solar Concentrator Structural Optimization Using Variable Beam Cross Sections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design and construction of solar concentrators heavily affects their optical efficiency, heat utilization, and cost. Current trough concentrators use an equivalent uniform beam with a metal grid substructure. In this ...
Experimental Study on Single-Hole Injection of Kerosene into Pressurized Quiescent Environments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experiments on kerosene spray through a single-hole nozzle are carried out under various ambient pressures ranging from 1.4 to 5.6 MPa. High-speed schlieren photography is used to capture the time-dependent images of the ...
Effect of In-Cylinder Conditions on Spray Characteristics of Diesel, Biodiesel, and Biodiesel-Ethanol Blended Fuels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The analysis result of liquid fuel combustion performance shows that the factors affecting chamber combustion are the vaporization and atomization of liquid fuel. At the same time, the combustion chamber conditions and the ...
