Computational Flow Analysis of Bipolar Plate for Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A trilayer fuel cell includes separate flow channels for hydrogen and oxygen. One potential alternative flow channel design is the use of a bipolar plate that connects cathode of a trilayer ...
Analytical Solutions for Heat Transfer During Cyclic Melting and Freezing of a Phase Change Material Used in Electronic or Electrical Packaging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we develop an analytical heat transfer model, which is capable of analyzing cyclic melting and solidification processes of a phase change material used in the context of electronics ...
Developing and Using a New Family of Project S-Curves Using Early and Late Shape Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effects of Partition on Thermal Comfort, Indoor Air Quality, Energy Consumption, and Perception in Air Conditioned Buildings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research is to assess effects of a partition on thermal comfort, indoor air quality (IAQ), energy consumption, and perception in an airconditioned space via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The variables ...
Uncertainty in Bond Strength of Unreinforced Fly-Ash Brick Masonry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Lateral loads such as wind and inertial forces from earthquakes are resisted by the bond strength of brick masonry structures. The consideration of uncertainty in both load and resistance capacity is vital for limit state ...
Microstructural Characterization of ITZ in Copper Slag Concrete Composite
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The use of copper slag as an alternative to natural fine aggregates in concrete construction has two advantages: effective management of hazardous waste and assistance in conserving natural resources. In order to build ...
Effect of Rub Grooves on Leakage and Windage Heating in Straight Through Labyrinth Seals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prediction of leakage flow and windage heating for labyrinth seals with honeycomb lands is critical in understanding gas turbine engine system performance and predicting its component life. There are several labyrinth seal ...
Study of Freckles Formation During Directional Solidification Under the Influence of Single Phase and Multiphase Convection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Formation of freckles during directional solidification of hypereutectic aqueous ammoniumchloride in a bottom cooled cavity is studied numerically. The system studied is thermally stable but solutally unstable, which causes ...
Numerical Investigations for Leakage and Windage Heating in Straight Through Labyrinth Seals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ability to quantify leakage flow and windage heating for labyrinth seals with honeycomb lands is critical in understanding gas turbine engine system performance and predicting its component life. Variety of labyrinth ...
Stable Nanofluids for Convective Heat Transfer Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanofluids are stable dispersions of ultrafine or nanoscale metallic, metal oxide, ceramic particles in a given base fluid. It is reported that nanofluids register an extraordinarily high level of thermal conductivity, and ...
