Removal of Phosphorus, BOD, and Pharmaceuticals by Rapid Rate Sand Filtration and Ultrafiltration Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Asymmetric Cavitation Bubble Collapse
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical results describing the asymmetric collapse of vapor bubbles in an incompressible liquid for various cases of axial symmetry involving boundary conditions which prevent the maintenance ...
Gas Turbine Acoustic Enclosure Design by the Statistical Energy Analysis Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Acoustic enclosure design is a complex problem that involves the interaction of multiple components. Yet the present conventional approach uses a two-dimensional closed-form solution to evaluate ...
Discussion: “Cavitation Erosion Studies With Venturi and Rotating Disk in Water” (Syamala Rao, B. C., Lakshmana Rao, N. S., and Seetharamiah, K., 1970, ASME J. Basic Eng., 92, pp. 563–573)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Cavitation Bubble Collapse Observations in a Venturi
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bubbles collapsing in water in a cavitating venturi are photographically observed. The large pressure gradient in the venturi causes the bubbles to collapse by flattening in the direction of ...
Discussion: “The Natural Frequencies of Two Spherical Bubbles Oscillating in Water” (Shima, A., 1971, ASME J. Basic Eng., 93, pp. 426–431)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Hurricane Events, Population Displacement, and Sheltering Provision in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Displacement has traditionally been conceptualized as a phenomenon that results from conflict or other disruptions in developing or unstable countries. Hurricane Katrina shattered this notion and highlighted the various ...
Evaluation of Maintenance Intervals for Spring-Operated Relief Valves Using a Risk-Based Inspection Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Savannah River Site (SRS) spring-operated relief valve (SORV) maintenance intervals were evaluated using the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) inspection updating approach in API RP 581 for ...
Using Empirical Data to Quantify Port Resilience: Hurricane Matthew and the Southeastern Seaboard
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The economic significance of the U.S. Marine Transportation System (MTS) generates a need to understand the resilience of the MTS. Resilience is defined herein as a system’s ability maintain a given critical function through ...
