Seismic Performance of a Fire-Exposed Moment-Resisting Frame
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Major earthquakes in urban areas often lead to building fires. Such earthquakes frequently damage buildings’ water sprinkler systems and diminish or strain firefighting capabilities. In such scenarios, buildings get exposed ...
A Novel Hybrid Heating Method for Mechanical Testing of Miniature Specimens at Elevated Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel hybrid heating method which combines the conventional electric-resistance specimen heating with microcoil heating of specimen ends to achieve uniform heating over the gauge length is presented. Resistive heating ...
Proposed Material Properties, Allowable Stresses, and Design Curves of Diffusion Bonded Alloy 800H for the ASME Code Section III Division 5
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Increased interest in compact heat exchangers (CHXs) to serve as intermediate heat exchangers of very high temperature reactors resulted in significant research and development on their design, analysis, and construction. ...
A Practical Analysis Framework for Assessment of Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers in High-Temperature Nuclear Service
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) have high thermal efficiency because of the numerous minuscule channels. These minuscule channels result in a high thermal exchange area per unit volume, making PCHE a top contender ...
Critical Evaluation of a Novel Analysis Technique for Assessment of Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers in High-Temperature Nuclear Service
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Application of printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) to very high-temperature reactors (VHTRs) requires mechanical performance assessment methodologies. The PCHE morphology consists of thousands of millimeter-scale ...
Mechanical and Microstructural Performance Evaluation of Diffusion Bonded Alloy 800H for Very High Temperature Nuclear Service
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Very high temperature reactors (VHTRs) are planned to be operated between 550 and 950∘C and demand a thermally efficient intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) in the heat transport system (HTS). The current technological ...
