RISComparison of Alkaline Direct Ethanol Fuel Cells With and Without Anion Exchange Membrane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance of three alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells (ADEFCs) is investigated. All three use identical anode and cathode electrodes, but one uses an anion exchange membrane (AEM) and the other two use nonpermselective ...
Modeling and Dynamic Assignment of the Adaptive Buffer Spaces in Serial Production Lines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In production systems, the buffer capacities have usually been assumed to be fixed during normal operations. Inspired by the observations from the real industrial operations, a novel concept of Adaptive Buffer Space (ABS) ...
Turbulence and Vertical Fluxes in the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Part I: A Large-Eddy Simulation Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study seeks to quantitatively and qualitatively understand how stability affects transport in the continuously turbulent stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer, based on a suite of large-eddy simulations. The ...
Stiffness of Coupling Connection and Bearing Support for High-Speed Maglev Guideways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coupling connections and bearing supports have been widely used in high-speed maglev guideways. Accurate identification of their mechanical properties is necessary for guideway design and research. This paper presents an ...
Analysis of a Permselective Membrane Free Alkaline Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A physical model is developed to study the coupled mass and charge transport in a permselective membranefree alkaline direct ethanol fuel cell. This type of fuel cell is not only free of expensive ion exchange membranes ...
A Comparison between a Generalized Beta–Advection Model and a Classical Beta–Advection Model in Predicting and Understanding Unusual Typhoon Tracks in Eastern China Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: total of 163 tropical cyclones (TCs) occurred in the eastern China seas during 1979?2011 with four types of tracks: left turning, right turning, straight moving, and irregular. The left-turning type is unusual and hard to ...
Turbulence and Vertical Fluxes in the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Part II: A Novel Mixing-Length Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his is the second part of a study about turbulence and vertical fluxes in the stable atmospheric boundary layer. Based on a suite of large-eddy simulations in Part I where the effects of stability on the turbulent structures ...
Building Vibration Control by Active Mass Damper With Delayed Acceleration Feedback: Multi-Objective Optimal Design and Experimental Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The building structural vibration control by an active mass damper (AMD) with delayed acceleration feedback is studied. The control is designed with a multi-objective optimal approach. The stable region in a parameter space ...
Development of a Hybrid Lagrangian–Eulerian Model to Describe Spark-Ignition Processes at Engine-Like Turbulent Flow Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the engine technology moving toward more challenging (highly dilute and boosted) operation, spark-ignition processes play a key role in determining flame propagation and completeness of the combustion process. On the ...
