RISA Comparative Investigation of Two Types of MHPA Flat-Plate Solar Air Collector Based on Exergy Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a comparative investigation of two types of microheat pipe array (MHPA) flat-plate solar air collectors (FPSAC) based on exergy analysis has been conducted. The thermal performance of MHPA-type solar air ...
Simulation of the Tropical Pacific Climate with a Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model. Part II: Interannual Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two multiyear simulations with a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (GCM)-totaling 45 years-are used to investigate interannual variability at the equator. The model consists of the UCLA global atmospheric ...
Vortex-Induced Vibration Performance and Suppression Mechanism for a Long Suspension Bridge with Wide Twin-Box Girder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) behavior of a twin-box girder bridge by means of aerodynamic sectional wind tunnel test and particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements. The effect of grid plates ...
Simulation of the Tropical Pacific Climate with a Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model. Part I: The Seasonal Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multiyear simulation with a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (GCM) is presented. The model consists of the UCLA global atmospheric GCM coupled to the GFDL oceanic GCM; the latter is dynamically active ...
Duration and Cost Variability of Construction Activities: An Empirical Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The unique nature of construction projects can mean that construction activities often suffer from duration and cost variability. Because this variability is unplanned, it can present a problem when attempting to complete ...
