RISOptimal Solar Field Design of Stationary Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The optimal design of stationary photovoltaic and thermal collectors in a solar field, taking into account shading and masking effects, may be based on several criteria: maximum incident energy ...
Stability of the Damped Mathieu Equation With Time Delay
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the space of the system parameters, the stability charts are determined for the delayed and damped Mathieu equation defined as ẍ(t)+κẋ(t)+(δ+ε cos t)x(t)=bx(t−2π). This stability chart makes ...
Aerodynamic Torque of a Butterfly Valve—Influence of an Elbow on the Time-Mean and Instantaneous Aerodynamic Torque
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many technological devices use butterfly valves to control the flow of the process or as safety unit. The principal advantages of this type of valve are their simplicity, their low cost, their ...
A Real Parameter Continuation Method for Complete Solution of Forward Position Analysis of the General Stewart

On the Criterion for the Determination Transition Onset and Breakdown to Turbulence in Wall-Bounded Flows1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Starting from the basic conservation laws of fluid flow, we investigated transition and breakdown to turbulence of a laminar flat plate boundary layer exposed to small, statistically stationary, ...
Study of Surface Residual Stress by Three-Dimensional Displacement Data at a Single Point in Hole Drilling Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method combining moiré interferometry, Twyman–Green interferometry, and blind hole drilling method is proposed for simple and accurate determination of residual stress. The relationship between ...
Influence of Surface Roughness on Shear Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The local planar flow of incompressible fluid past an obstacle of semi-circular cross section is considered, the obstacle being mounted on a long flat surface. The far-field motion is one of ...
Measurement of In-Plane Residual Stresses Varying With Depth by the Interferometric Strain/Slope Rosette and Incremental Hole-Drilling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new experimental method utilizing the Interferometric Strain/Slope Rosette (ISSR) and incremental hole-drilling is applied to measure in-plane residual stresses which vary with depth. For each ...
Axisymmetric Stagnation-Point Flow and Heat Transfer of a Viscous Fluid on a Moving Cylinder With Time-Dependent Axial Velocity and Uniform Transpiration
