RISComments on “Estimating Soil Water Contents from Soil Temperature Measurements by Using an Adaptive Kalman Filter”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A scheme was proposed by Zhang et al. to estimate soil water content from soil temperature measurements by using an adaptive Kalman filter. Their scheme is based on the fact that soil heat capacity and thermal conductivity ...
The Structural Optimization of Dimple in Microchannel for Heat Transfer Enhancement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dimple on the surface is widely used in electronic cooling equipment, turbine blades, and combustion chamber gaskets and so on, which is a good structure for heat transfer enhancement. In this paper, taking comprehensive ...
Adsorption of Humic Acid by Acid-Modified Granular Activated Carbon and Powder Activated Carbon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Activated carbon adsorption experiments were carried out with humic acid solutions to determine adsorption isotherms and kinetics. Four commercial coconut shell–based activated carbons were used: untreated, nitric ...
A Cold Event in Asia during January–February 2012 and Its Possible Association with Arctic Sea Ice Loss
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThrough both observational analyses and simulation experiments, this study investigates the intraseasonal evolution of atmospheric circulation anomalies associated with a persistent cold event in the Asian continent ...
Analytical Solution of Surface Layer Similarity Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent exchange between the surface and the atmosphere strongly depends on the stability of the surface layer. If surface radiometric temperature, rather than aerodynamic temperature, is used to parameterize the surface ...
On the Role of Sea Ice and Convection in a Global Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An earlier estimate regarding the possible impact of sea ice on deep-ocean water mass properties and the global thermohaline circulation in a coupled sea ice?ocean general circulation model (OGCM) is updated. Compared to ...
Analysis of Heat Transfer and Entropy Generation in a Channel Partially Filled With N-Layer Porous Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Convective heat transfer in a channel partially filled with porous medium has received a lot of attention due to its wide engineering applications. However, most researches focused on a channel partially filled with single ...
Torsional Vibration Extraction of Dual-Period Instantaneous Angular Speed Measurement of the Generalized Incremental Encoder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Torsional vibration is key information in monitoring the condition of the shaft system. Using the vector superposition principle, the relationship between the rotation motion and the torsional vibration of the shaft is ...
Airfoil Shape and Angle of Attack Optimization Based on Bézier Curve and Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil, the airfoil shape and the angle of attack (AOA) are optimized at the same time by the multi-island genetic algorithm in this paper. The goal of the optimization ...
Method Development for Estimating Sensible Heat Flux over the Tibetan Plateau from CMA Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To clarify the thermal forcing of the Tibetan Plateau, long-term coarse-temporal-resolution data from the China Meteorological Administration have been widely used to estimate surface sensible heat flux by bulk methods in ...
