One-Dimensional Pollutant’s Advective-Diffusive Transport from a Varying Pulse-Type Point Source through a Medium of Linear Heterogeneity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analytical solutions of one-dimensional (1D) advection-diffusion equations (ADE) are obtained subject to an initially pollutant-free domain and varying pulse-type input conditions. The medium is considered heterogeneous ...
Design and Development of a Sheet Metal Plastic Backed Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The high costs associated with fuel cell manufacturing have precluded its production on a large scale. The major emphasis of the present wok is to bring down the overall cost of an independent ...
Gas Holdup in Bubble Column Bioreactor Degrading Phenol
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Phenol is a harmful substance found in the wastewaters from certain chemical industries. In the present study phenol present in synthetic wastewater has been biodegraded in a bubble column bioreactor using Pseudomonas ...
Analytical Solution of Advection-Dispersion Equation with Spatially Dependent Dispersivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the dispersion theory of solute transport in groundwater flow, the dispersion coefficient is regarded as proportional to the nth power of groundwater velocity, where n varies from 1 to 2. The present study derives an ...
Solute Transport along Temporally and Spatially Dependent Flows through Horizontal Semi-Infinite Media: Dispersion Proportional to Square of Velocity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: According to the hydrodynamic dispersion theories, the dispersion parameter is proportional to a power
Experimental Study of Thermal Performance of Nanofluid-Filled and Nanoparticles-Coated Mesh Wick Heat Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The enhancements in thermal performance of mesh wick heat pipe (HP) using TiO2/H2O nanofluid (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol %) as working fluid for different (50, 100, and 150 W) power input were investigated. Results showed maximum ...
Cyclic Evaluation of Severely Damaged RC Frames Repaired and Strengthened through FRP-Wrapped Coupler-Box Confinement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study is focused on the retrofitting solution and its verification through experimental investigation for the two most common catastrophic modes of failure in reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings, namely, ...
Synthesis and Characterization of the Paraffin/Expanded Perlite Loaded With Graphene Nanoparticles as a Thermal Energy Storage Material in Buildings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various properties of the paraffin have made them compatible to be incorporated in the building materials for improving the latent heat storage capacity of the building envelope. However, the poor thermal conductivity of ...
A Three-Dimensional Non-Newtonian Magnetic Fluid Flow Induced Due to Stretching of the Flat Surface With Chemical Reaction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) flow of non-Newtonian liquid is studied in this analysis. Also, this paper is mainly focused on an incompressible magnetic liquid with low Curie temperature and moderate saturation magnetization. An ...
