RISNumerical Simulation and Parametric Study of Heat Driven Self Cooling of Electronic Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A heatdriven selfcooling system could potentially utilize the heat dissipated from a device to power a thermoelectric generator (TEG) which could then provide power to run a cooling system. In this paper, numerical simulation ...
Heat and Mass Transfer Correlations for Staggered Nanoporous Membrane Tubes in Flue Gas Crossflow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of transport membrane condenser (TMC) technology to recover heat and mass from the flue gas has been increasing recently. The heat and mass transfer from the TMC tube bundle have been studied experimentally and ...
Computational Simulation and Analysis of Major Control Parameters of Time-Dependent Photovoltaic/Thermal Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to improve the transient performance of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collectors, this paper first developed and validated an improved computational thermal model to investigate the effects of the major control ...
Multi-Objective Optimization of Heat Exchanger Design by Entropy Generation Minimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present work, a multi-objective optimization of heat exchanger thermal design in the framework of the entropy generation minimization is presented. The objectives are to minimize the ...
Single- and Dual-Phase-Lagging Heat Conduction Models in Moving Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Motivated by the recent work of and , (“ Heat Conduction Paradox Involving Second-Sound Propagation in Moving Media,” 2005, Phys. Rev. Lett., 94, p. 154301), we examine the original single- ...
Solidification and Stabilization of Sewage Sludge and MSWI Bottom Ash for Beneficial Use as Construction Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the feasibility of converting municipal sewage sludge and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash to a construction material for the dikes of a sludge-only containment. The sewage sludge ...
Permeation of Petroleum-Based Hydrocarbons through PVC Pipe Joints with Rieber Gasket Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is significant concern in water utilities regarding the permeation of petroleum-based hydrocarbons from contaminated sites through potable drinking-water pipes made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Previous studies have ...
Link Restriction: Methods of Testing and Avoiding Braess Paradox in Networks Considering Traffic Demands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Braess paradox is a well-known paradox in transportation researches. In urban cities, there are many different kinds of complex road networks. Unavoidably, some of them fall into the Braess paradox and it is hardly realized. ...
Treatment of Mixture of Sewage and Partially Treated Swine Wastewater by a Combination of UASB and Constructed Wetlands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A system with a combination of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and constructed wetlands (CWs) has not yet been applied to river water polluted by both sewage and swine wastewater. In this study, a pilot ...
Microscopic Visualization Technique to Predict the Permeation of Organic Solvents through PVC Pipes in Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Organic contaminants may permeate through plastic pipes in water distribution systems and adversely affect the quality of drinking water. In this study, we developed a microscopic visualization technique to investigate the ...
