Performance Evaluation of Neonatal Anti-Pressure Ulcer Bed Using a Novel Force-Sensing Array
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pressure ulcer (PU) is a serious issue among newborns, particularly those who are premature and have medical conditions that require hospitalization. Existing conventional beds require modifications that can reduce the ...
Variations in Streamflow Response to Large Hurricane-Season Storms in a Southeastern U.S. Watershed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loods caused by hurricane storms are responsible for tremendous economic and property losses in the United States. To minimize flood damages associated with large hurricane-season storms, it is important to be able to ...
Assessment of the Timing of Daily Peak Streamflow during the Melt Season in a Snow-Dominated Watershed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: revious studies have shown that gauge-observed daily streamflow peak times (DPTs) during spring snowmelt can exhibit distinct temporal shifts through the season. These shifts have been attributed to three processes: 1) ...
Experimental Demonstration of AHWR Safety During Prolonged Station Black Out
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fukushima accident has raised a strong concern and apprehension about the safety of a nuclear reactor failing to remove the decay heat following an extreme event. After Fukushima accident, the reactor designers worldwide ...
Experimental Demonstration of Decay Heat Removal by Submerged Feeders in a Full-Scale Test Facility of a Natural Circulation Boiling Water Reactor
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Removal of decay heat with nonavailability of active systems is a safety issue especially during station blackout (SBO) in a light water reactor. Passive systems are being incorporated in the new designs of nuclear reactors ...
Experimental Demonstration of Safety During Extended Station Blackout in an Integral Test Loop of a Natural Circulation Boiling Water Reactor
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Decay heat removal for prolonged period of station blackout (SBO) is a safety concern of the nuclear reactors. Aftermath of Fukushima, safety evaluation (performance under severe conditions: stress test) of the reactors ...
Experimental Demonstration of Safety of AHWR during Stagnation Channel Break Condition in an Integral Test Loop
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Comparative Studies of Microstructural, Mechanical, and Tribological Behavior of A319 Alloy Cast in Solid Waste Mold and Conventional Sand Mold
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the potential of utilizing industrial solid waste (blast furnace slag, ferrochrome slag, and red mud) as mold materials to improve the solidification rate and wear resistance of A319 alloy. Unlike ...
Experimental Performance Investigation of Double-Slope Solar Still With Splitter Plate and Hollow Circular Fins
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work aims to experimentally study the output production and cost analysis of conventional double-slope solar still (CSS), double-slope solar still with hollow circular fins (SSHCF), and double-slope solar still ...
