Numerical Simulation of Bubble Cluster Induced Flow by Three Dimensional Vortex in Cell Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The behavior of air bubble clusters rising in water and the induced flow field are numerically studied using a threedimensional twoway coupling algorithm based on a vortexincell (VIC) method. In this method, vortex elements ...
Investigation of the Vibration Features and Dynamic Load Sharing Characteristics of Concentric Face Gear Torque Split Transmission
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A concentric face gear torque split system used in the helicopter main transmission to transfer more power and reduce the structure weight is introduced. A mathematical model is proposed to analyze the vibration characteristics ...
Experimental Investigation of the Evolution and Head On Collision of Elliptic Vortex Rings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The headon collision process of elliptic vortex rings was experimentally investigated using flowvisualization technique as well as particle image velocimetry (PIV). Elliptic vortex rings were generated by the movement of ...
Effect of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metallic Species on Gas Evolution and Energy Efficiency Evolution in Pyrolysis and CO2-Assisted Gasification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the same moles of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species were introduced into pine wood to investigate their effects on biomass pyrolysis and carbon dioxide-assisted gasification. First, thermogravimetric ...
Torrefaction Temperature Effects on Grindability of Wheat Straw Using TG-FTIR Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Torrefaction used for the pretreatment of biomass can enhance grindability along with a significant reduction of energy consumption required for pulverization to aid in large-scale utilization of biomass energy. In this ...
Syngas Characteristics From Catalytic Gasification of Polystyrene and Pinewood in CO2 Atmosphere
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Syngas production from catalytic gasification of polystyrene and pinewood in CO2 atmosphere was investigated over Ni-Mg/Al2O3 catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor at 900 °C. A quasi in situ method was adopted for catalytic ...
