Plasma Sprayed Y2O3 Stabilized ZrO2 Electrolyte With Improved Interlamellar Bonding for Direct Application to Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Atmospheric plasma spraying was employed to prepare anode, cathode, and Y2O3stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) electrolyte to aim at reducing manufacturing cost. YSZ electrolytes were deposited on the anode at different deposition ...
Moist Adiabats with Multiple Condensing Species: A New Theory with Application to Giant-Planet Atmospheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA new formula is derived for calculating the moist adiabatic temperature profile of an atmosphere consisting of ideal gases with multiple condensing species. This expression unifies various formulas published in ...
Intelligent Approach Based on Random Forest for Safety Risk Prediction of Deep Foundation Pit in Subway Stations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The number of safety accidents caused by excavation of deep foundation pits in subway stations has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Thus, precisely predicting the safety risks for subway deep foundation pits bears ...
Keying Behaviors of Strip Plate Anchors with Padeye Offset in Uniform Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Plate anchors have great advantages that are useful in deep or ultradeep water mooring systems. The keying behaviors have a deep effect on the embedment loss and pullout capacity of strip plate anchors. In this paper, the ...
Approximation and Inversion of a Complex Meteorological System via Local Linear Filters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dynamical models involving systems of numerous differential equations are commonly used to describe meteorological behavior. Approximations to such systems are often desired, particularly for inversion problems when the ...
Friction Property of MoS2 Coatings Deposited on the Chemical-Etched Surface of Al–Si Alloy Cylinder Liner
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To enhance the friction property of Al–Si alloy cylinder liner in running-in period, MoS2 coatings were electrodeposited on the chemical-etched surface of cylinder liner. The friction coefficient decreased by 15% comparing ...
Hybrid Dynamic Pricing Model for Transport PPP Projects during the Residual Concession Period
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Public–Private-Partnerships (PPPs) have been adopted worldwide to deliver infrastructure projects and/or provide public services. Having a reasonable concession price (operation and transfer) in place is pivotal for ...
A Generalized Variational Method and Its Applications in Design of the Single-Jack Flexible Nozzle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nozzle facilities, which can generate high Mach number flows, are the core portions of the supersonic wind tunnel. Different from traditional fixed nozzles, a flexible nozzle can deform to designed contours and supply ...
Effects of Payment for Ecosystem Services and Tourism on Conservation and Development: Trade-Off or Synergistic?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Integrated Approach to Water Allocation in River Basins
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Available water resources are decreasing in river basins around the world. Some reseachers have suggested various indicators and methods that should be used to allocate water resources. This paper attempts an integrated ...
