Motion of a Doublet of Two Cylinders in Contact in a Narrow Channel Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The motion of two rigid circular cylinders in contact immersed in an incompressible Newtonian fluid in a channel is examined numerically in the zero Reynolds number limit, for various values ...
A New Continuous Contact Low-Noise Gear Pump
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Developed is a new low-noise gear pump which has no trapping and whose gears are in continuous one-point contact in the plane of rotation. First this paper studies a practical method to ...
Consistent Estimate of Brace Fatigue Life Using Axial Deformations Evaluated from Nodal Displacements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Characterizing the behavior and assessing the performance of concentrically braced frames depends on adequately simulating force redistributions following brace fracture. Commonly, brace models with beam-column elements ...
The Fluid Shear Stress Distribution on the Membrane of Leukocytes in the Microcirculation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent in-vivo and in-vitro evidence indicates that fluid shear stress on the membrane of leukocytes has a powerful control over several aspects of their cell function. This evidence raises a ...
Experimental Studies on Methane-Fuel Laboratory Scale Ram Combustor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The laboratory scale ram combustor test program has been investigating fundamental combustion characteristics of a ram combustor, which operates from Mach 2.5 to 5 for the super/hypersonic transport ...
2010 Chile and 2011 Tohoku Tsunami Profiles Measured by GPS Buoys and Coastal Wave and Tide Gauges in a Nationwide Ocean Wave Information Network for Ports and Harbors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces the tide data acquisition and processing procedures in the Nationwide Ocean Wave Information Network for Ports and Harbors (NOWPHAS), especially those for global positioning system (GPS) buoys that ...
Loss in Axial Compressor Bleed Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Loss in axial compressor bleed systems is quantified and the loss mechanisms are identified to determine how efficiency can be improved. For a given bleed air pressure requirement, reducing bleed system loss allows air to ...
Modeling of 2-D Leakage Jet Cavitation as a Basic Study of Tip Leakage Vortex Cavitation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As the first step of the study of cavitation in the tip leakage flow in turbomachinery, experimental and numerical investigations on characteristics of 2-D leakage jet cavitation are conducted. ...
Refueling and Infrastructure Costs of Expanding Access to E85 in Pennsylvania
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: United States federal regulations require increasing renewable fuel blending in the transportation sector, a majority of which is corn ethanol. Nationally, ethanol is blended with gasoline up to 10% (E10) for use in ...
ARKADIA—For the Innovation of Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the outline and development plan for “Advanced Reactor Knowledge- and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-aided design integration approach through the whole plant lifecycle (ARKADIA),” which the Japan Atomic ...
