Flow-Induced Vibrations of Mixing Vessel Internals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper draws together the results of research work undertaken at BHRA on cylinders excited to oscillate by flow within unbaffled mixing vessels. Oscillations of an anchor mixer and of dip ...
Vortex Excited Oscillations of Yawed Circular Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Yawed cylinders are cylinders inclined forward or backwards in the plane of the flowing fluid. They are used in many practical situations such as braced frame members and raked marine piles. ...
Emission Reductions Through Precombustion Chamber Design in a Natural Gas, Lean Burn Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various precombustion chamber design, operating, and control parameters on the exhaust emissions of a natural gas engine. Analysis of the results ...
Hydrodynamic Loads on Flexible Marine Structures due to Vortex Shedding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper makes a comparison of experimental measurements and a recently developed methodology for the prediction of the increase in the steady drag of a cylinder undergoing vortex-induced ...
Engine Knock Rating of Natural Gases—Methane Number
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A procedure has been developed and documented for determining the methane number of gaseous fuels. The methane number provides an indication of the knock tendency of the fuel. An experimental ...
Effects of Spark Plug Number and Location in Natural Gas Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Combustion experiments were conducted on a spark-ignited single-cylinder engine operating on natural gas. A special open chamber cylinder head was designed to accept as many as four spark plugs. ...
