Making the Split Decision
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mid-careers engineers often reach a crossroad, needing to decide between continuing down the technical career pathway and pursuing a master’s in business administration, or MBA, and becoming a manager. What the path they ...
The Return of Manned Missions
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The United States space program has been without a launch vehicle for human spaceflight since 2011. That was when the space shuttle Atlantis returned on its final flight. Since then, NASA has relied on the Russian Soyuz ...
10 Influential Women in Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are many influential women—educators, innovators, leaders—who are not only breaking the stereotype but are also role models and mentors for the next generation of female engineers. This article spotlights 10 women ...
Printing for Protection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: After seeing a number of projects trying to help frontline workers, Josef Průša decided to produce face shields with both 3D printed and laser-cut plastic components.
Health Risk Assessment and Characterization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon from the Hydrosphere
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The prime purpose of this study was to determine the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the water zone. A total of 15 PAHs were measured in 22 surface water samples and 22 sediment samples. The samples were ...
Performance and Cost Modeling of Ultrafiltration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Models describing permeate flux, rejection, and cost are coupled to evaluate the performance and cost of ultrafiltration as a function of raw-water quality. The model for permeate flux extends a previous model for colloidal ...
Design, Evaluation and Performance Analysis of Staged Low Emission Combustors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The most uncertain and challenging part in the design of a gas turbine has long been the combustion chamber. There has been a large number of experimentations in industry and universities alike to better understand the ...
Optimization of Aero Gas Turbine Maintenance Using Advanced Simulation and Diagnostic Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engine maintenance costs are a major contributor to the direct operating costs of aircraft. Therefore, the minimization of engine maintenance costs per flighthour is a key aspect for airlines to operate successfully under ...
Validation and Assessment of a Hybrid VOF-Lagrangian Numerical Methodology for Turbulent Liquid Fuel Jets in High-Speed Crossflow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For gas turbine combustors, injecting liquid fuel in crossflow can achieve superior mixing characteristics to improve performance and reduce emissions. Robust numerical design tools are needed to accelerate the development ...
Closure to “Discussion of ‘The Effect of Some Gaseous Environments on the Creep of a Stainless Steel’” (Le May, I., Truss, K. J., and Sethi, P. S., 1969, ASME J. Basic Eng., 91, pp. 575–580)
