RISPumped Wastewater Collection Systems Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Identifying the need for intermediate and/or end pumping in real life wastewater collection systems, an optimization algorithm is developed for the design of gravity‐cum‐pumped systems with recourse to dynamic programming. ...
Forced Flow of Vapor Condensing Over a Horizontal Plate (Problem of Cess and Koh): Steady and Unsteady Solutions of the Full 2D Problem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate steady and unsteady numerical solutions of the full 2D governing equations—which model the forced film condensation flow of saturated vapor over a semi-infinite horizontal plate (the ...
Energy Separation in the Wake of a Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy separation is a spontaneous redistribution of total energy (enthalpy) in a fluid without external work or heat flow, resulting in some portion of fluid having higher total energy (enthalpy) ...
Preparation of CIGSS Thin-Film Solar Cells by Rapid Thermal Processing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rapid thermal processing (RTP) provides a way to rapidly heat substrates to an elevated temperature to perform relatively short duration processes, typically less than 2–3min long. RTP can be ...
Local Solutions in Potential Theory and Linear Elasticity Using Monte Carlo Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical method called the boundary walk method is described in this paper. The boundary walk method is a local method in the sense that it directly gives the solution at the point of ...
Modeling Coupled Hydromechanical Behavior of Landfilled Waste in Bioreactor Landfills: Numerical Formulation and Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bioreactor landfills involving leachate recirculation are emerging as the preferred option for managing municipal solid waste (MSW). Effective bioreactor landfill performance can be achieved by ensuring uniform and adequate ...
Two-Phase Modeling of Leachate Recirculation Using Vertical Wells in Bioreactor Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Leachate recirculation or liquid injection is an established practice for operating landfills as bioreactors to enhance the biodegradation of municipal solid waste (MSW). Among other subsurface liquid injection methods, ...
Modeling Coupled Hydromechanical Behavior of Landfilled Waste in Bioreactor Landfills: Numerical Formulation and Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bioreactor landfills involving leachate recirculation are emerging as the preferred option for managing municipal solid waste (MSW). Effective bioreactor landfill performance can be achieved by ensuring uniform and adequate ...
Wind Uplift Behavior of Mechanically Attached Single-Ply Roofing Systems: The Need for Correction Factors in Standardized Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the United States, currently there are three consensus test methods for determining the wind uplift capacity of mechanically-attached single-ply roofing membrane systems. Each is based upon a specific specimen size and ...
Prediction of Long-Term Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Settlement Using Constitutive Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a generalized constitutive model for municipal solid waste, based on the framework derived from critical state concepts and incorporating the effects of mechanical creep and time-dependent biodegradation, ...
