Stream Bank Erosion: In Situ Flume Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new technique for testing the erodibility of cohesive stream banks using an in situ flume is presented. The erosion rate is estimated from direct measurements of bed surface elevations by acoustic sensors. The sediment ...
Erosion of Cohesive Sediments: Resuspension, Bed Load, and Erosion Patterns from Field Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: New field data on cohesive sediment erosion is presented and discussed, with particular focus on partitioning the total erosion into resuspension and bed load. The data were obtained using a recently developed in situ flume ...
Creep Analysis of Orthotropic Rotating Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stress and strain-rate distributions in the wall of a hollow thick-walled circular cylinder, rotating about its own axis with a constant angular speed, have been obtained using Norton’s law ...
Theoretical Route toward the Estimation of Second Law Potential of an Emulsified Palm Biodiesel Run Diesel Engine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of biodiesel as an alternative to diesel is well recognized. However, having a lesser calorific value than diesel, it results in a lower power and efficiency. This can suitably be improved by emulsifying ...
Influence of Emulsified Palm Biodiesel as Pilot Fuel in a Biogas Run Dual Fuel Diesel Engine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study attempts to explore the influence of emulsified palm biodiesel as a pilot fuel in a biogas run dual fuel engine. The intention is to achieve diesel-equivalent performance from a diesel engine, together with a ...
