Quantifying Uncertainty in the Residence Time of the Drug and Carrier Particles in a Dry Powder Inhaler
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dry powder inhalers (DPI), used as a means for pulmonary drug delivery, typically contain a combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and significantly larger carrier particles. The microsized drug particles—which ...
High-Order Finite-Volume Transport on the Cubed Sphere: Comparison between 1D and 2D Reconstruction Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents two finite-volume (FV) schemes for solving linear transport problems on the cubed-sphere grid system. The schemes are based on the central-upwind finite-volume (CUFV) method, which is a class of Godunov-type ...
On-Sun Testing of a High-Temperature Solar Receiver’s Flux Distribution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a promising technology in transitioning to renewable energy because of its abundance in nature and thermal energy storage (TES) capability. Among the four types of available CSP technology, ...
Computational Analysis of a Pipe Flow Distributor for a Thermocline Based Thermal Energy Storage System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The overall efficiency of a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant depends on the effectiveness of thermal energy storage (TES) system (Kearney and Herrmann, 2002, “Assessment of a Molten Salt Heat Transfer Fluid,†...
Implementing Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Metrics for Characterizing Laser Propagation in Atmospheric Turbulence
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of a laser beam propagating through atmospheric turbulence are investigated using the phase screen approach. Turbulence effects are modeled by the Kolmogorov description of the energy cascade theory, and outer ...
