Abstract: A consistent technique is derived for generating floor response spectra for equipment in nuclear reactor systems using response spectral analysis. The use of this technique eliminates the requirement ...

Abstract: For constrained-layer damping a simple differential equation for nonsymmetric sandwich plates or beams made of isotropic and homogeneous layers is deduced. The natural boundary conditions associated ...

Abstract: The theory of enhanced oil recovery by surfactant flooding (micellarpolymer and “low-tension” floods) is based on three premises: that the chemical slug is 1) less mobile than the crude oil, ...

Abstract: An alternative, improved method to determine mechanical properties from indentation testing is presented. This method can determine the elastic modulus, yield strength and equi-biaxial residual ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of a new power cycle, a so called evaporative biomass air turbine (EvGT-BAT) cycle with gasification for topping combustion. The process integrates an ...

Abstract: This paper is a presentation of a systematic study on externally fired gas turbine cogeneration fueled by biomass. The gas turbine is coupled in series with a biomass combustion furnace in ...

Abstract: The pulp and paper industry handles large amounts of energy and today produces the steam needed for the process and some of the required electricity. Several studies have shown that black ...
