GRRIEn Analysis: A Data Science Cheat Sheet for Earth Scientists Learning from Global Earth Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Optimization of Pt–Ni Alloy Catalysts Synthesized by Potentiostatic Electrodeposition for Cathode in PEMFC
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The development of highly active and low-cost catalysts is a challenge for the application and large-scale commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this study, a series of Pt–Ni alloy catalysts ...
A Novel Tunable Stiffness Mechanism Using Filament Jamming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The jamming mechanism is a crucial method to tune the stiffness of soft-bodied machines to adapt to their surroundings. However, it is difficult for the present jamming structures to integrate them into systems with ...
Design, Performance Analysis, and Experiments of a Soft Robot for Rescue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the narrow and irregular environment of the ruins, the existing rescue robots are struggling to achieve their performance. Inspired by the process of termite predation by giant anteaters, we propose a soft rescue robot ...
Effect of Fin Structure on the Condensation of R-134a, R-1234ze(E), and R-1233zd(E) Outside the Titanium Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to test the effect of fin structure on the condensing heat transfer of refrigerants outside the low thermal conductivity tubes, condensation of R-134a, R-1234ze(E), and R-1233zd(E) on two enhanced titanium tubes ...
Is the North Pacific Victoria Mode a Predictor of Winter Rainfall over South China?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the connection between the North Pacific Victoria mode (VM) during the boreal spring [February–April (FMA)] and the following boreal winter [January–March (JFM)] rainfall over South China (SC). The ...
K-Edge Measurement Technology Simulation Model Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The K-edge technique is a nondestructive analysis (NDA) method that provides key data for nuclear material accountancy, mainly for the measurement of U and Pu concentrations in spent fuel reprocessing processes, with an ...
Performance of Deep Beams with Topologically Optimized Reinforcements: Experimental Verification and Comparison
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conventionally designed reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams often fail in a nonductile shear failure mode. A deep beam may embrace significant ductility through a careful layout optimization of the reinforcements, but this ...
Nucleate Pool Boiling Heat Transfer of R134a and R134a-PVE Lubricant Mixtures on Smooth and Five Enhanced Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pool boiling heat transfer coefficients of R134a with different lubricant mass fractions for one smooth tube and five enhanced tubes were tested at a saturation temperature of 6°C. The ...
Condensation of R134a and R22 in Shell and Tube Condensers Mounted With High-Density Low-Fin Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, the condensation of refrigerants on a single, high-density, low-fin tube and full-sized shell and tube condensers were investigated experimentally. The low-fin tube had an external fin density of 56 fins per ...
