Numerical Investigation of Thermal Characteristics in a Solar Chimney Project
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to create interior multiclimate zones suitable for plant cultivation in a solar chimney project proposed for the World Horticultural Exposition 2016 in China, the numerical investigation is performed to a solar ...
Experimental Investigation on a Photovoltaic Thermal Solar System with a Linear Fresnel Lens
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article reports the experimental study on a concentrated photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) solar system. A nonimaging linear Fresnel lens was used as a solar concentrator to improve the density of solar energy on a PV/T ...
Simulation of Atmosphere Boundary Layer by Using Wedges and Rough Elements Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on the technique that using wedges and roughness elements to simulate the atmospheric boundary layer, barriers acting as vortex generators were used to effectively increase turbulence intensity on top of wind tunnel. ...
Wind Tunnel Test of Aerodynamic Optimization Measures for Flutter Stability of Super Long-span Bridge with Truss Girder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Taken a grand long-span suspension bridge with truss girder for example, the influences of various aerodynamic controlling measures such as central-slotting in bridge deck plate, apron board and pneumatic winglets on the ...
Experimental Study of a Wind Field in a Long-span Bridge Site Located in Mountainous Valley Terrain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Baling River Bridge is a long-span bridge located in a special mountainous area. The site has a very complicated wind field that is representative of many cases in west China. A terrain model that simulates the practical ...
