Urban Heat Islands during Heat Waves: A Comparative Study between Boston and Phoenix
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Effectiveness of Secondary Flow Produced by Vortex Generators Mounted on Both Surfaces of the Fin to Enhance Heat Transfer in a Flat Tube Bank Fin Heat Exchanger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Secondary flow is the flow in the cross section normal to the main flow. It plays an important role on the enhanced heat transfer and in the applications in other fields. Secondary flow can greatly enhance the convective ...
Investigation of the Effect of Perforated Sheath on Thermal-Flow Characteristics Over a Gas Turbine Reverse-Flow Combustor—Part 2: Computational Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of Part 2 is to employ a computational scheme to investigate the difference in flow pattern, pressure drop, and heat transfer in a gas turbine’s dump diffuser and over the outer surface of the combustor with ...
Investigation of the Effect of Perforated Sheath on Thermal-Flow Characteristics Over a Gas Turbine Reverse-Flow Combustor—Part 1: Experiment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reverse-flow combustors have been used in heavy, land-based gas turbines for many decades. A sheath is typically installed over the external walls of the combustor and transition piece to provide enhanced cooling through ...
The Reasons of Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Laminar Channel Flow With Uniform Heat Flux on the Wall Under a Pair of Longitudinal Vortex Generators Mounted on the Bottom Wall
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To find the reasons of heat transfer enhancement of a laminar convective heat transfer process in a channel at a uniform heat flux boundary when a pair of longitudinal vortex generators (VGs) is mounted on the bottom wall, ...
Experimental Characterization of Slug Flow on Solid Particle Transport in a 1 Deg Upward Inclined Pipeline
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of hydraulic and two phase (gasliquid) flows on sand dune transportation resulting from a stationary flatbed, for horizontal and 1 deg upward pipe ...
A Total Lagrangian ANCF Liquid Sloshing Approach for Multibody System Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this investigation is to develop a total Lagrangian nonincremental liquid sloshing solution procedure based on the finite element (FE) absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). The proposed liquid ...
Dynamics of Flexible Body Negotiating a Curve
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a rigid body negotiates a curve, the centrifugal force takes a simple form which is function of the body mass, forward velocity, and the radius of curvature of the curve. In this simple case of rigid body dynamics, ...
ANCF Analysis of Textile Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new flexible multibody system (MBS) approach for modeling textile systems including rolldrafting sets used in chemical textile machinery. The proposed approach can be used in the analysis of textile ...
Storm-Induced Circulation in Lunenburg Bay of Nova Scotia: Observations and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An extreme weather event (Hurricane Juan) made landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, in September 2003. The storm produced an ?70-cm storm surge and ?40 cm s?1 coastal currents in Lunenburg Bay, registered by a coastal observing ...
