Electric Highway
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: book, noted energy expert Michael Webber makes the case that switching from oil to electricity for powering vehicles would cut transportation-related carbon emissions and create a pathway to quieter, zippier travel....
Climate of Optimism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Expressions of optimism in the world's ability to tackle climate change often meet disbelief. This energy expert lays out the case for why we wil succeed against climate change, and do it faster than most people anticipate.
Synthetic Flows for Engineered Systems with Nonstationary Parameters: Study of Maui’s Wailoa Ditch
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water flow through engineered channels is important for decision making given its close ties to availability for allocation. However, planners often rely on estimates for natural streamflow, then use stream-by-stream ...
An Engineering Approach to the Design of Laminarizing Nozzle Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Despite intensive research into laminarization over the past twenty years, there has resulted hitherto no prediction method suitable for ab intio engineering design applications. Following a ...
Inviscid Similarity Solutions for Slumping From a Cylindrical Tank
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
An Instrument for Skin-Friction Measurements in Thin Boundary Layers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simple instrument for skin-friction measurements in adiabatic turbulent compressible boundary-layers is described. Its small size makes its use possible in very thin boundary layers. A universal ...
Turning CO2 Capture On and Off in Response to Electric Grid Demand: A Baseline Analysis of Emissions and Economics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coal consumption accounted for 36% of America’s CO2 emissions in 2005, yet because coal is a relatively inexpensive, widely available, and politically secure fuel, its use is projected to grow ...
