Modeling and Analysis of an Efficient Porous Media for a Solar Porous Absorber With a Variable Pore Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical mathematical model that considers the continuous linear porosity or pore diameter distribution is established to develop a novel porous absorber with variable pore structure, which will result in a thermopressure ...
An Impedance Based Approach for Rods With Shear Type Damping Layer Treatment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An impedancebased approach for analyzing an axial rod with sheartype damping layer treatment is proposed. The rod and sheartype damping layer are regarded as two subsystems and both impedances are calculated analytically. ...
Mathematical Description of the Shape of Plane Hexagonal Snow Crystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple mathematical expressions are presented for describing the shapes of some plane hexagonal snow crystals. These expressions provide convenient means for cloud physical calculations and can also serve as a method for ...
Acceleration to Terminal Velocity of Cloud and Raindrops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical method is given which allows computing the acceleration to terminal velocity of cloud and raindrops at various levels in the atmosphere. For drops of equivalent radius 800 ?m ≤ a0 ≤ 3500 ?m our theoretical ...
An Experimental Determination of the Efficiency with Which Aerosol Particles are Collected by Water Drops in Subsaturated Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments have been carried out to determine the efficiency with which aerosol particles of 0.25 ?m radius are collected due to Brownian diffusion, and due to hydrodynamic, phoretic and electrical effects by water drops ...
Analysis and Design of Wire Transport System in Microwire Electronic Discharge Machining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A dynamic model for analyzing the wire transport system of micro wEDM (wire electronic discharge machining) is proposed. Based on the model, two mechanisms are proposed to stabilize the wire tension. The first mechanism ...
A Theoretical Determination of the Efficiency with which Aerosol Particles are Collected by Simple Ice Crystal Plates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two theoretical models are presented which allow computing the efficiency with which aerosol particles of radius 0.001 ≤ r ≤ 10 ?m are collected by simple ice crystal plates of radius 50 ≤ ac ≤ 640 ?m, in air of various ...
Electrostatic, Thermal and Vapor Density Fields Surrounding Stationary Columnar Ice Crystals
