Abstract: A new method for modeling hot underexpanded exhaust plumes with cold model scale plumes in aerodynamic wind tunnel testing has been developed. The method is applicable to aeropropulsion testing ...

Abstract: This paper describes, in detail, the concrete operational mechanisms of the Corridor Simulation (CORSIM)–embedded signal transition algorithms. Through detailed analysis of these transition algorithms, this study found ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of the wall shear stress combined with those of the velocity profiles via the electrochemical technique and ultrasonic pulsed Doppler velocimetry are used to analyze the ...

Abstract: The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) has been used to study water stripping and water penetration in asphalts. ESEM images of an asphalt-coated aggregate showed progressive cracking, flaking, and stripping ...

Abstract: Because of the growing awareness of the importance of the traffic condition uncertainty-related studies, traffic condition uncertainty modeling is gaining increasing attention from the transportation research community. ...

Abstract: Access connections and signalized intersections within the functional area of an interchange can adversely impact safety and operations at the interchange crossroad and on the freeway, and can cause the interchange to fail ...

Abstract: This article presents the theoretical basis for modeling univariate traffic condition data streams as seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average processes. This foundation rests on the Wold decomposition theorem and ...

Abstract: It is important to understand the maximum possible thermal efficiency a device is capable of obtaining and then what of this it actually achieves. In this paper it is shown that the thermal ...

Abstract: There are at least four basic fuel cell thermodynamic features: maximum intrinsic thermal efficiency (electrical efficiency), reversible potential, and two new ones—intrinsic cooling requirement and ...
