Abstract: A novel after-burner used for the heat-up and normal operating conditions of a metal-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, is designed and experimentally studied in this paper. The burner construction and ...

Abstract: The compressor disk cavity is a critical component of the secondary air system, and its design significantly influences the overall performance of an aero-engine. A static testing technique for dynamic torque measurement ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new symplectic method for obtaining the natural frequencies and modes of beams resting on elastic foundations. A generalized Hamiltonian functional is first derived via the Lagrange multiplier method, ...

Abstract: A novel afterburner used for the heatup and normal operating conditions of a metalsupported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, is designed and experimentally studied in this paper. The burner construction and the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new efficient reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) method is proposed for structures, in which the double-loop optimization is equivalently decoupled into a sequential process based on a performance ...

Abstract: In this work, the particles of two seaweeds, Enteromorpha clathrata (E. clathrata) (EN) and Sargassum natans (S. natans), were combusted in a fluidized bed. It was found that while combustion of EN particles was stable, ...

Abstract: A low-frequency continuous torsional motion technique (CTMT) is presented to efficiently extract the aerostatic force coefficients (AFCs) of bridge decks. In contrast to the conventional numerical simulations at a series ...

Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a clean and efficient energy utilization technology. Partial oxidation reforming (POX) can be used to simplify the SOFC system structure, but its lower hydrogen production rate deteriorates ...

Abstract: The layout planning of construction temporary facilities (CTFs) is a specific construction site layout problem. Despite considerable research undertaken to determine satisfactory layouts of CTFs for their significance on ...
