RISCost Comparison of Highway Rest Area Operations: In-House Workforce versus Outsourcing Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: State departments of transportation (DOTs) typically use one of three approaches to operate highway rest areas (RAs): in-house workforce, method-based contracting (MBC), and performance-based contracting (PBC). State DOTs ...

Pyrolysis of Delonix Regia and Characterization of Its Pyrolytic Products: Effect of Pyrolysis Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pyrolysis of a rarely researched biomass feedstock, Delonix regia (DR), at different pyrolysis temperatures carried out in a tubular reactor at an atmospheric pressure of one bar. In addition to the fuel and physical ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation on Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of a Bio-Oil Model Compound in a Fluidized Bed Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bio-oil produced from waste biomass by various thermochemical approaches possess several drawbacks primarily due to the presence of oxygenated compounds. These compounds render bio-oil difficult to be used as normal fuel ...

Progressive Die Strip Layout Optimization for Minimum Unbalanced Moments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Progressive die stamping is a forming process that uses a series of stamping stations to perform simultaneous operations as the sheet is transported incrementally through the die. Designing of ...
Analytical Investigation of Non-Fourier Bioheat Transfer in the Axisymmetric Living Tissue Exposed to Pulsed Laser Heating Using Finite Integral Transform Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article proposes the closed-form solution of the generalized non-Fourier model-based bioheat transfer equation (BHTE) in Cylindrical coordinates to understand the thermal behavior of living tissue heated by a pulsed ...
Framework to Implement Performance-Based Contracting for Chip-Seal Road Maintenance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The road maintenance workload for transportation agencies increases every year. To maintain roads effectively, one contracting method state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) use to outsource is performance-based contracting ...
