A New Cloud Screening Algorithm for Ground-Based Direct-Beam Solar Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud screening of direct-beam solar radiation is an essential step for in situ calibration and atmospheric properties retrieval. The internal cloud screening module of a Langley analysis program [Langley Analyzer (LA)] ...
Improved Model of an Intermediate Point Enthalpy Control System for Enhancing Boiler Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Control quality of an once-through boiler’s water-fuel ratio (WFR) and main-steam temperature are heavily influenced by the control quality of the once-through boiler’s intermediate point enthalpy (IPE), and it is also ...
On the Complex Simulations With Dark–Bright to the Hirota–Maccari System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the coupled nonlinear Hirota–Maccari system with the help of using an analytical approach, which is the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method (ShGEEM). Complex, solitary, and singular ...
Design and Comparison of Solar Thermal Oilfield Steam Production System Plans
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parabolic trough solar concentrating technology is a new and clean way to replace the conventional fossil fuel technology to generate steam for heavy oil recovery in oilfield. A computational model was constructed with ...
MODIS Consistent Vegetation Parameter Specifications and Their Impacts on Regional Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: consistent set of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) vegetation parameters, including leaf and stem area index (LAI and SAI, respectively), land-cover category (LCC), fractional vegetation cover (FVC), ...
Kinetogami: A Reconfigurable, Combinatorial, and Printable Sheet Folding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As an ancient paper craft originating from Japan, origami has been naturally embedded and contextualized in a variety of applications in the fields of mathematics, engineering, food packaging, and biological design. The ...
Development of a Seismic Probabilistic Safety Assessment Quantification Tool
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI) has been studying seismic risk analysis for nuclear power plant for a long time, and completed seismic margin analysis for several plants. After Fukushima ...
Nonlinear Energy Sink Inspired Design for Friction-Induced Vibration Suppression of Braking Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a nonlinear energy sink (NES) is designed and applied for the suppression of the friction-induced vibration (FIV) of a braking system. The equation of motion of the braking system, as well as the NES, is ...
Numerical Analysis of Circular Graphene Bubbles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pressurized graphene bubbles have been observed in experiments, which can be used to determine the mechanical and adhesive properties of graphene. A nonlinear plate theory is adapted to describe the deformation of a graphene ...
Multiobjective Optimal Design of Vehicle Suspension Parameters Based on Reliable Gray Particle Swarm Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a multiobjective optimal design of automobile suspension systems to improve vehicle-ride comfort and reduce tire-induced dynamic excitations on road surface simultaneously. In the optimal model, spring ...
