Centrifugal Fan Performance With Inlet Clearance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a systematic study of the influence of the inlet clearance gap on the performance of a centrifugal fan. Overall fan performance in terms of volume flow rate, pressure ...
Axial Fan Performance With Blade-Base Clearance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study to evaluate the influence of increasing the clearance between blade and hub on a controllable pitch axial fan (CPAF) is presented. Fan performance was measured over a range of increasing ...
Axial and Bending Behavior of Composite Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes an experimental program on walls formed from two skins of profiled steel sheeting and an in-fill of concrete. Twenty full-scale tests are reported, which include samples where both axial forces and ...
An Evaluation of the Jenike Bunker Design Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow blockage in steelworks bunkers is a major source of trouble. The correct design of bunkers to ensure flow would result in reduced capital and operating costs. The Jenike method of bunker ...
Land Use and Urban Planning in Paradises: Waikiki
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the current political, economic, legal and social influences on urban planning in one of the world's most intensely developed tourist destination areas—Waikiki. It briefly describes existing land uses ...
Hawaii: Growth, Government, and Economy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rapid growth of tourism and the decline of an agriculturally oriented economy in Hawaii have generated many political, social, and economic problems of significant interest to civil engineers—principally in the areas of ...

Analytical Dynamic Modeling of Line-Focus Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar thermal electric power and industrial process heat systems may require a constant outlet temperature from the collector field. This constant temperature is most efficiently maintained by ...
Selection of a Working Fluid for an Organic Rankine Cycle Coupled to a Salt-Gradient Solar Pond by Direct-Contact Heat Exchange
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analysis was conducted of power production by an organic Rankine cycle engine coupled to a solar pond with direct-contact heat exchange. Use of a direct-contact boiler reduced the projected ...
