RISOn Reducing the Order of Transfer Functions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simple method of reducing the number of real negative poles of a transfer function is described in detail.
Factors Affecting Participation in Spot and Options Markets for Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, using a stylized mathematical simulation model, the participation of farmers in spot and options markets is analyzed in a two-period setting. Farmers assess the benefits from entering one of the two markets ...
Technology Adoption for Long-Term Drought Resilience
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a mathematical model of optimal management of prolonged and consecutive drought events is developed to evaluate circumstances under which the adoption of a water-efficient technology may offer long-term ...
Natural Resource Sustainability versus Livelihood Resilience: Model of Groundwater Exploitation Strategies in Developing Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper designs a stylized model representing farming in water-scarce regions of South India to address the problem of managing depleting groundwater assets facing the threat of irreversible loss. Circumstances under ...
New Forward and Inverse Solutions for Wet Fins Generalized Profiles With All Nonlinear Phenomena
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study establishes forward closed-form and inverse analyses of wet fins of various profiles involving all modes of heat transfer. Existing limitations in the literature are addressed here by choosing the appropriate ...
Experimental Study on a New Small-Scale Absorption System: Response Surface and Inverse Analyses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a new small-scale lithium bromide (LiBr)-water absorption system consisting water-cooled absorber and air-cooled condenser is experimentally studied. For compactness, the heat exchangers for evaporator, ...
Experimental Analysis of a Novel Solar Pond Driven Thermoelectric Energy System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study on a combined assembly of a solar pond and two-phase thermosyphon toward thermoelectric power generation under actual weather conditions and proposes its mandatory association ...
Performance Analysis of Evaporation and Heat Wheel-Based Building Air Conditioning Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Air conditioning in composite weather is relatively more challenging and also carries importance as it resembles conditions of hot-dry, cold, and warm-humid climates. Bifurcation of cooling and ventilation tasks happens ...
Reconfiguration of a Rolling Sphere: A Problem in Evolute-Involute Geometry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a new perspective to the problem of reconfiguration of a rolling sphere. It is shown that the motion of a rolling sphere can be characterized by evolute-involute geometry. ...
Rotating Beams and Nonrotating Beams With Shared Eigenpair
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we look for rotating beams whose eigenpair (frequency and mode-shape) is the same as that of uniform nonrotating beams for a particular mode. It is found that, for any given ...
