Refined Process Upcrossing Rate Approach for Estimating Probabilistic Wind Load Effects with Consideration of Directionality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The process upcrossing rate approach remains one of the most popular methods for the estimation of probabilistic wind load effect with consideration of directionality. The accuracy of this approach depends on the adequacy ...
Comparison Between Thermal Conductivity Models on Heat Transfer in Power-Law Non-Newtonian Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper endeavors to complete a numerical research on forced convection steady heat transfer in power-law non-Newtonian fluids in a circle duct. Incompressible, laminar fluids are to be studied ...
Study of Aging Asphalt Recovery Using Peanut Oil Residue as a Biomass Regenerator
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The properties of reclaimed asphalt were studied using peanut oil residue (POR) as a regenerant. The preparation, chemical composition, and rheological properties of POR regenerant were studied. GC-MS and FITR studies of ...
Optimizing the Performance of a Single PEM Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional steady-state electrochemical mathematical model is developed where the mass, fluid, and thermal transport processes are considered, as well as the electrochemical reaction ...
Theoretical Study on Transient Hot-Strip Method by Numerical Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presented the effects of finite dimensions of the sample and nonzero heat capacity of the strip on thermal conductivity determination with the transient hot-strip method. Through the ...
Gaseous Conductivity Study on Silica Aerogel and Its Composite Insulation Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on gaseous conductivity of silica aerogel and composite insulation materials. First, the insulation material samples (including silica ...
