Heat Transfer Analysis in a Rotating Cavity With Axial Through-Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents local Nusselt numbers computed from experimental measurements of surface temperature of compressor disks in a multiple rotating cavity test rig with axial throughflow. A validated two-dimensional (2D) ...
Retrieving Cloud Characteristics from Ground-Based Daytime Color All-Sky Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A discussion is presented of daytime sky imaging and techniques that may be applied to the analysis of full-color sky images to infer cloud macrophysical properties. Descriptions of two different types of sky-imaging systems ...
The ARM Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Using a Blackbody to Calculate Net Longwave Responsivity of Shortwave Solar Pyranometers to Correct for Their Thermal Offset Error during Outdoor Calibration Using the Component Sum Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thermopile pyranometers? thermal offset has been recognized since the pyranometer?s inception. This offset is often overlooked or ignored because its magnitude is small compared to the overall solar signal at higher ...
Conjugate Heat Transfer Predictions for Subcooled Boiling Flow in a Horizontal Channel Using a Volume-of-Fluid Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accuracy of computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based heat transfer predictions have been examined of relevance to liquid cooling of IC engines at high engine loads where some nucleate boiling occurs. Predictions based ...
Control of Spray Evaporative Cooling in Automotive Internal Combustion Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel approach is proposed for precise control of two-phase spray evaporative cooling for thermal management of road vehicle internal combustion (IC) engines. A reduced-order plant model is first constructed by combining ...
Cloud Coverage Based on All-Sky Imaging and Its Impact on Surface Solar Irradiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Lauder, Central Otago, New Zealand, two all-sky imaging systems have been in operation for more than 1 yr, measuring the total, opaque, and thin cloud fraction, as well as indicating whether the sun is obscured by clouds. ...
Reconciling Ground-Based and Space-Based Estimates of the Frequency of Occurrence and Radiative Effect of Clouds around Darwin, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objective of this paper is to investigate whether estimates of the cloud frequency of occurrence and associated cloud radiative forcing as derived from ground-based and satellite active remote sensing and radiative ...
ARM Research In The Equatorial Western Pacific: A Decade And Counting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cal western Pacific (TWP) is an important climatic region. Strong solar heating, warm sea surface temperatures, and the annual progression of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) across this region generate abundant ...
Ground-Based Remote Sensor Observations during PROBE in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From 6 January to 28 February 1993, the second phase of the Pilot Radiation Observation Experiment (PROBE) was conducted in Kavieng, Papua New Guinea. Routine data taken during PROBE included radiosondes released every 6 ...
