RISContinuous Extrusion by Viscous Drag
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A multistage continuous extrusion process based on a new concept is described and studied. The billet is driven through a series of dies by the viscous drag of a fluid flowing along its ...
Inflatable Concentrators for Solar Propulsion and Dynamic Space Power
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the development of an inflatable concentrator for solar propulsion, providing the source of heat to a hydrogen engine aboard the Solar Rocket. The latter is a device ...
A Liquid Desiccant System for Solar Cooling and Dehumidification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The growing demand for air conditioning, particularly in hot and humid climates has caused a significant increase in demand for energy resources. A promising solar technology with potential to ...
Hydrodynamic Lubrication in Rolling of Thin Strips
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The process of thin strip rolling is analyzed considering the hydrodynamic lubrication effect. Hydrodynamic lubrication prevails when a film of lubricant fully separates the rolls from the strip. ...
Analysis of a Combined Thermal-Photovoltaic Solar System Based on the Spherical Reflector/Tracking Absorber Concentrator
