Improved Modeling of Pulverized Coal Combustion in a Furnace
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comprehensive computer code is developed for the calculation of pulverized coal combustion and is evaluated against a series of IFRF experimental data. An improved stochastic model for turbulent ...
Moment Closure Model for Nitrogen Oxide Formation in Pulverized Coal Combustion Furnaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A moment closure model has been developed to model fuel-bound NO formation in a turbulent pulverized coal flame in a furnace. The effect of turbulence on combustion is accounted for by solving ...
Downscaling Global Climate Simulations to Regional Scales: Statistical Downscaling versus Dynamical Downscaling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Downscaling is a fundamental procedure in the assessment of the future climate change impact at regional and watershed scales. Hence, it is important to investigate the spatial variability of the climate conditions that ...
Upscaling of Coupled Land Surface Process Modeling for Heterogeneous Landscapes: Stochastic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Land surfaces are spatially inhomogeneous at the spatial scales of vegetation canopies to watersheds or even continents. The spatial heterogeneity strongly affects heat, momentum, and vapor exchange at the land surface. ...
Physically Based Estimation of Maximum Precipitation over American River Watershed, California
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology for maximum precipitation (MP) estimation that uses a physically based numerical atmospheric model is proposed in this paper. As a case study, the model-based 72-h MP was estimated for the American River ...
WEHY-HCM for Modeling Interactive Atmospheric-Hydrologic Processes at Watershed Scale. II: Model Application to Ungauged and Sparsely Gauged Watersheds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of the Watershed Environmental Hydrology Hydro-Climate Model (WEHY-HCM) for modeling runoff at ungauged or sparsely gauged watersheds. The WEHY-HCM employs an ...
WEHY-HCM for Modeling Interactive Atmospheric-Hydrologic Processes at Watershed Scale. I: Model Description
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Among the key problems in atmospheric and hydrologic sciences are the modeling of the interaction between the atmosphere and land surface hydrology while also quantifying the surface/subsurface hydrologic flow processes ...
Physically Based Estimation of Maximum Precipitation over Three Watersheds in Northern California: Atmospheric Boundary Condition Shifting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Maximum precipitation during a historical period is estimated by means of a physically based regional atmospheric model over three watersheds in Northern California: the American River watershed (ARW), the Yuba River ...
Physically Based Estimation of Maximum Precipitation over Three Watersheds in Northern California: Relative Humidity Maximization Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Maximum precipitation (MP) was estimated by means of a regional atmospheric model over three watersheds in northern California [(1) the American River watershed (ARW), (2) the Yuba River watershed (YRW), and (3) the Upper ...
Characterization of Chitosan Coated Magnetoelastic Materials for Use in Percutaneous Implants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are upwards of 250,000 cases of infections due to the use of percutaneous devices in the US every year, with an estimated cost of $25,000 per incident. Improving the longevity of these ...
