A Simple Accurate Formula for Calculating Saturation Vapor Pressure of Water and Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIt is necessary to calculate the saturation vapor pressure of water and of ice for some purposes in many disciplines. A number of formulas are available for this calculation. These formulas either are tedious or ...
Buoyancy Effects on Thermal Behavior of a Flat-Plate Solar Collector
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Theoretical and experimental investigations of the flow and temperature distribution in a 12.53m2 solar collector panel with an absorber consisting of two vertical manifolds interconnected by 16 ...
Advanced Robust Optimization With Interval Uncertainty Using a Single Looped Structure and Sequential Quadratic Programming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Uncertainty is inevitable and has to be taken into consideration in engineering optimization; otherwise, the obtained optimal solution may become infeasible or its performance can degrade significantly. Robust optimization ...
Comparative Modeling Study of Reinforced Beam on Elastic Foundation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, governing ordinary differential equations are derived for a reinforced Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation. An analytical solution is obtained for a point load on an infinite Timoshenko beam on elastic ...
Stabilization of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer and the Muted Global Hydrological Cycle Response to Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Both the global precipitation and evaporation in global warming simulations increase at 1%?3% K?1, much smaller than the rate suggested from the Clausius?Clapeyron (C?C) relation (6%?6.5% K?1). However, the reduction of ...
Discussion of Boundary Conditions of Transpiration Cooling Problems Using Analytical Solution of LTNE Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To compare five kinds of different boundary conditions (BCs), an analytical solution of a steady and one-dimensional problem of transpiration cooling described by a local thermal nonequilibrium ...
Technical Innovations of the Aizhai Bridge in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The recently completed Aizhai Bridge in the west of Hunan Province in China is a long-span suspension bridge across a deep canyon. In view of the particular problems posed by the surrounding landscape and geologic conditions, ...
Fundamental Issues of Elastic Viscoplastic Modeling of the Time-Dependent Stress–Strain Behavior of Geomaterials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a number of fundamental concepts are presented and explained. These include (1) differences among an instant compression line, a normal consolidation line, and a true instant compression line; (2) the ...
Closed-Form Solution for Reinforced Timoshenko Beam on Elastic Foundation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper suggests a method for obtaining closed-form solutions for a reinforced Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation subjected to any pressure loading. A particular solution is obtained for uniform pressure loading ...
