RISDeveloping Environmental Risk Assessment Methodologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Environmental risk assessment (ERA) generally focuses on a specific human activity because each activity entails different variables and environmental indicators. Risk is inherent in environmental impact assessment (EIA) ...
Advanced Exergy Analysis of a Compression–Absorption Cascade Refrigeration System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents a theoretical thermodynamic study of a compression–absorption cascade refrigeration system using R134a and a lithium bromide–water solution as working fluids. First and second law of thermodynamics ...
Advanced Exergetic Analysis of a Double-Effect Series Flow Absorption Refrigeration System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper contains theoretical results of an advanced exergy study of a double-effect series flow absorption refrigeration cycle. Traditional second law of thermodynamics analysis was performed and revealed the absorber ...
On the Linear Control of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems Via Tangent Flatness and Active Disturbance Rejection Control: The Case of the Ball and Beam System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a systematic procedure for controller design is proposed for a class of nonlinear underactuated systems (UAS), which are nonfeedback linearizable but exhibit a controllable (flat) tangent linearization around ...
Parameter Estimation of the FitzHugh–Nagumo Neuron Model Using Integrals Over Finite Time Periods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes two methodologies for estimating the parameters of the FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neuron model. The identification procedures use only measurements of the membrane potential. The first technique is named ...
Closure to “Optimal Water Allocation in Shortage Situations as Applied to an Irrigation Community” by Javier Alarcón, Alberto Garrido, and Luis Juana
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Convection along the Coast of Northern Peru during 1983: Spatial and Temporal Variation of Clouds and Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Streamflow and historical records indicate that flooding in northern Peru was more severe during 1983 than during any year since 1891. A case study of the meteorological conditions along the northwest coast of South America ...
Optimal Water Allocation in Shortage Situations as Applied to an Irrigation Community
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work studies the most beneficial way of allocating water in an irrigation community in water shortage situations. Therefore, it proposes that the irrigation surface area be divided into homogeneous zones, each with a ...
On the Heat Balance of the Walker Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The heat budget of the Walker circulation near 10°S is studied. The primary drive for the circulation is the heating due to zonal variations in condensation. The relative heating and cooling at different longitudes is ...
Convective Heat Transfer of Laminar Swirling Pipe Flow With Viscous Dissipation Effects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The oil-water-gas separation is a critical aspect of the treatment of production flows in the oil industry. The segregation of gas bubbles and/or water droplets dispersed in viscous oil by an in-line swirling flow separator ...
