RISComparative Analysis of Effect of Diesel and N-Butanol Blend Properties on Combustion Process and Hydrocarbon Emission at Various Oxygen-Intake Concentrations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effects of the cetane number (CN) and latent heat of vaporization (LHV) of diesel/n-butanol fuel on the hydrocarbon (HC) emission and combustion process at various oxygen intake concentrations (Coxy) were studied in a ...
Optimized Placement of Piezoelectric Actuator for Multichannel Adaptive Vibration Control of a Stiffened Plate
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The optimization of piezoelectric actuator placement has been widely investigated in connection with active vibration control. In this paper, a modified optimization criterion considering the control spillover effect is ...
Aeroelastic Tailoring of a Composite Forward-Swept Wing Using a Novel Hybrid Pattern Search Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aeroelastic tailoring of a composite forward-swept wing model is investigated to achieve a minimum structure weight with increasing divergence speed and flutter speed. A novel hybrid pattern search method is proposed to ...
Market-Based Optimal Control of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Fleets and Economic Analysis

Effects of Combustion Parameters on Emissions of Diesel, Diesel/n-Butanol, and Diesel/n-Butanol/2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate Fuels at Different Intake-Oxygen Concentrations in a Diesel Engine
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper tested one cylinder of a modified light-duty 4-cylinder diesel engine to study the coupling effect of 1.8-bar pressure and oxygen concentration (Coxy) on the combustion process of diesel (B00), diesel/n-butanol ...
Interactions between Building Integrated Photovoltaics and Microclimate in Urban Environments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: BIPV (building integrated photovoltaics) has progressed in the past years and become an element to be considered in city planning. BIPV has significant influence on microclimate in urban ...
Three-Dimensional Structure and Interannual Variability of the Kuroshio Loop Current in the Northeastern South China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on long-term mooring-array and satellite observations, three-dimensional structure and interannual variability of the Kuroshio Loop Current (KLC) in the northeastern South China Sea (SCS) were investigated. The 3-yr ...
