Abstract: This article conducts optimization and sensitivity analysis for the cold-end system of a nuclear power plant (NPP) with a sea water circulating system, using the minimum annual cost method by dynamic economical analysis. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel boundary control method is investigated to suppress the vertical vibration of a very large floating structure (VLFS) with regular waves. The VLFS can be described as a distributed parameter system ...

Abstract: Frequency domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) imaging is used to create quantitative maps of both inplane thermal conductance and crossplane thermal boundary conductance (TBC) for graphene multilayers encased between titanium ...

Abstract: Frequency domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) imaging is used to create quantitative thermal conductivity maps of porous Aluminum Nitride (AlN) particles embedded in epoxy. The AlNepoxy composite is polished and coated with a ...

Abstract: Frequency domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) is used to create quantitative maps of thermal conductivity and thickness for a thinning gallium nitride (GaN) film on silicon carbide (SiC). GaN was grown by molecular beam epitaxy ...

Abstract: The mobility system is an important part of the Mars rover and is one of the key subsystems for the Mars exploration mission. In this paper, the durability performance of China’s Mars rover was tested and analyzed on the ...

Abstract: Stone arch bridges are symbols of a shared civil engineering heritage worldwide, but they suffer from damage caused by various natural disasters that have occurred during their long service. The basis of ancient bridge ...

Abstract: AbstractNitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas and also an ozone-depleting substance that has both natural and anthropogenic sources. Large estimation uncertainty remains on the magnitude and spatiotemporal ...
