Configuration of Noncontact Grip System for Carrying Large Flat Sheets Using Vacuum Air Heads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper configured an improved grip system for gripping and transferring large flat sheets in a noncontact manner. The conventional method for changing the direction of large flat sheets in a conveyor system is to turn ...
Novel Spacer Design Using Topology Optimization in a Reverse Osmosis Channel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study is to design spacers using topology optimization in a twodimensional (2D) crossflow reverse osmosis (RO) membrane channel in order to improve the performance of RO processes. This study is the ...
On Estimating Wet Canopy Evaporation from Deciduous and Coniferous Forests in the Asian Monsoon Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontinuous and direct measurement of evapotranspiration (ET) by the eddy covariance (EC) technique is still a challenge under monsoon climate because of a considerable amount of missing data during the long rainy periods ...
Improvement of Hydrodynamic Performance of a Multiphase Pump Using Design of Experiment Techniques
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multiphase pumps for offshore plants must perform at high pressure because they are installed on deepsea floors to pressurize and transfer crude oil in oil wells. As the power for operating pumps should be supplied to deep ...
An Intercomparison of Two Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometers Used for Eddy Correlation Measurements of Methane Flux in a Prairie Wetland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An intercomparison was made between two tunable diode laser spectrometers used to measure methane fluxes by the eddy correlation technique at a prairie wetland site. The spectrometers were built by Unisearch Associates ...
Turbulent Flux Transfer over Bare-Soil Surfaces: Characteristics and Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterization of turbulent flux from bare-soil and undercanopy surfaces is imperative for modeling land?atmosphere interactions in arid and semiarid regions, where flux from the ground is dominant or comparable to ...
