Fixture Layout Design of Sheet Metal Parts Based on Global Optimization Algorithms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fixture layout can affect deformation and dimensional variation of sheet metal assemblies. Conventionally, the assembly dimensions are simulated with a quantity of finite element (FE) analyses, and fixture layout optimization ...
Prediction of the Onset of Flow Instability in a Single Horizontal Microtube With an Inlet Orifice
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A methodology to predict the onset of flow instability (OFI) in a single horizontal microtube with an inlet orifice is developed based on the predication of pressure drop. The predictive methodology states, for the same ...
Interface Electric Resistance of Electroosmotic Consolidation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There will be transition zones of electric current near the electrodes, if the electric conductive area of electrodes is smaller than that of soil. Electroosmosis tests show that the electric current in the transition zones ...
Experimental Investigation of Flow Boiling Instability in a Single Horizontal Microtube With and Without Inlet Restriction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study is conducted to investigate the effects of inlet restriction (orifice) on flow boiling instability in a single horizontal microtube. The test-section is composed of a ...
Effect of Inlet Restriction on Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in a Horizontal Microtube
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow boiling heat transfer in a horizontal microtube with inlet restriction (orifice) under uniform heating condition is experimentally investigated using FC72 as working fluid. A stainless steel microtube with an inner ...
Concept of Limit Soil-Retained State for Developing of Novel Filtration Criteria
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Geotextile filters have been used as substitution of granular filters for decades. Despite their technical and commercial success, the behavior of geotextile filters can be quite complex and difficult to understand, ...
Multiple Time Scale Variability of the Sea Surface Salinity Dipole Mode in the Tropical Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, multiple time scale variability of the salinity dipole mode in the tropical Indian Ocean (S-IOD) is revealed based on the 57-yr Ocean Reanalysis System 4 (ORAS4) sea surface salinity (SSS) reanalysis ...
Numerical Investigation on Heat and Mass Transfer of Volatile Flammable Gases Within the Nuclear Reactor Containment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Diffusion of volatile flammable species in the air can cause a fire risk within the nuclear reactor containment. However, computational prediction on species concentration distributions remains significantly difficult due ...
Mixing Evaluation of a Passive Scaled Up Serpentine Micromixer With Slanted Grooves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel, passive, scaledup micromixer based on fluid rotation is proposed and evaluated experimentally and numerically over Reynolds numbers ranging from 0.5 to 100. Flow visualization is employed to qualitatively assess ...
Hydraulic Behavior of Filter Protected Silt under Cyclic Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The spatial distribution of hydraulic gradients within a soil sample under cyclic flow with different frequencies was measured and compared with calculated results. The permeability within the soil before and after cyclic ...
