Abstract: During the past decades, the life cycle of a weather observation, from the initial reading and recording of the sensor data to the final dissemination and use of the data, has remained virtually unchanged. It has been a ...

Abstract: Point-of-care diagnostic devices, micrototal analysis (μTAS) systems, lab-on-a-chip development, and biomedical research rely heavily upon microfluidic management and innovative micropump design. Here, we describe the ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the design and performance of a very tall mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. Expansion of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport called for the construction of a third runway west of the two ...

Abstract: High-level dynamic testing of a prototypic insulated small bore diameter pipe system is described. The pipe system was supported by a minimum number of supports, with several combinations of ...

Abstract: Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor pipe systems typically utilize a thicker insulation package than that used on water plant pipe systems. They are supported with special insulated pipe clamps. ...

Abstract: The evaporative gas turbine (EvGT), also known as the humid air turbine (HAT) cycle, is a novel advanced gas turbine cycle that has attracted considerable interest for the last decade. This ...

Abstract: Evaporative cooling systems are commonly used in thermoelectric plants to cool the air at gas turbines inlet, improving the performance of these engines. Normally, the evaporative cooling is modeled as adiabatic saturation ...
