Abstract: To improve energy efficiency and reduce water consumption simultaneously in lignite-fired power plants, an improved lignite predrying system integrated with heat and water recovery from wet flue gas is proposed in this ...

Abstract: Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data provide a rather precise depiction of the real three-dimensional (3D) road environment and have been used by some researchers to produce more precise available sight distance (ASD) ...

Abstract: A novel hypersonic aerodynamic configuration of the high-pressure–capturing wing (HCW) based on the lifting body is proposed, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to carefully analyze longitudinal and lateral ...

Abstract: The analytical behavior of concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) piers under cyclic lateral loading is reported in this paper. A finite-element analysis (FEA) model is developed to investigate the cyclic ...

Abstract: Periodic measurements of sight distance on as-built roads and subsequent removal of sight obstructions are important for guaranteeing highway safety. In this paper, an accurate and efficient framework is proposed for ...
