RISGreen Mountains and White Plains: The Effect of Northern Hemisphere Ice Sheets on the Global Energy Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe changes in the global energy budget in response to imposing an ice sheet?s topography, albedo, or topography and albedo combined are examined. The albedo of the ice sheet (here called a ?White Plain?) causes ...
Motivations of Program Partners for Environmental Sustainability and Persistence of Benefits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is becoming more common for sustainability-related engineering classes to engage in various forms of service and project learning activities that provide assistance to partners. However, few efforts have examined the ...
Stability Characteristics of an Actively Valved Resonant Pulse Combustor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Resonant pulse combustors, one of the deflagration-based pressure gain combustion devices, can significantly increase thermal efficiency in gas turbine engines. This experimental study investigates the stability characteristics ...
ENSO in the Mid-Holocene according to CSM and HadCM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he offline linearized ocean?atmosphere model (LOAM), which was developed to quantify the impact of the climatological mean state on the variability of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is used to illuminate why ENSO ...
Effects of Fuel Quantity on Soot Formation Process for Biomass-Based Renewable Diesel Fuel Combustion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soot formation process was investigated for biomass-based renewable diesel fuel, such as biomass to liquid (BTL), and conventional diesel combustion under varied fuel quantities injected into a constant volume combustion ...
The Process and Methods Used to Evaluate Prototype Operational Hydrometeorological Workstations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In support of the National Weather Service (NWS) modernization, the Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) has been developing prototype hydrometeorological workstations for many years. The FSL Evaluation Team (E-Team) has ...
The Mechanisms that Determine the Response of the Northern Hemisphere’s Stationary Waves to North American Ice Sheets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractStationary waves describe the persistent meanders in the west?east flow of the extratropical atmosphere. Here, changes in stationary waves caused by ice sheets over North America are examined and the underlying ...
Design Optimization and Performance Analysis of a Multi-Kilowatt Thermoacoustic Electric Generator Using DeltaEC Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Waste heat recovery from power plants and industries requires a new type of electricity generator and related technological developments. The current research work is aimed at the design of a multi-kilowatt thermoacoustic ...
The Effect of Ultrapolish on a Transonic Axial Rotor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Backtoback testing was done using NASA fan rotor 67 in the Glenn Research Center W8 Axial Compressor Test Facility. The rotor was baseline tested with a normal industrial rootmeansquare (RMS) surface finish of 0.5 خ¼m to ...
Heavy Fuel Oil Combustion Characteristics Evaluation in Various Swirling Flow Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is an economical fuel alternative for power generation as its low production cost and high energy density. However, its incomplete combustion induced by the presence of long-chain petroleum molecules ...
