RISA Fundamental Equation for Exergy Balance on Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the exergy balance equation on a solar collector which acts as the fundamental and principal expression for the solar thermal design. The equation fully explains the exergy ...
Effects of Mountain Uplift on East Asian Summer Climate Investigated by a Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To study the effects of progressive mountain uplift on East Asian summer climate, a series of coupled general circulation model (CGCM) experiments were performed. Eight different mountain heights were used: 0% (no mountain), ...
The Cumulus Parameterization Problem: Past, Present, and Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A review of the cumulus parameterization problem is presented with an emphasis on its conceptual aspects covering the history of the underlying ideas, major problems existing at present, and possible directions and approaches ...
Optical Cascade Heat-Collection for Effective Solar Energy Gain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optical cascade heat collection of solar energy has proved effective for gaining thermal energy in the medium temperature region (80∼150° C). The cascade system consists of two separate ...
Baroclinic Instability in Vertically Discrete Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two vertically discrete systems, one based on the ?Charney-Phillips grid? and the other on the ?Lorenz grid,? are compared in view of the quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation and baroclinic instability. It is ...
The Macroscopic Entrainment Processes of Simulated Cumulus Ensemble. Part I: Entrainment Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterization of cumulus convection requires a model that describes the statistical properties of a cumulus ensemble under given large-scale conditions. Such a model is called a cloud model for cumulus parameterization ...
The Macroscopic Entrainment Processes of Simulated Cumulus Ensemble. Part II: Testing the Entraining-Plume Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: According to Part I of this paper, it seems that ignoring the contribution from descendent cloud air in a cloud model for cumulus parameterization (CMCP), such as the spectral cumulus ensemble model in the Arakawa?Schubert ...
Large Deformation of Inelastic Large Space Frame. I: Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A member model divided into subelements along the member axis with end fibers is developed for material and geometrical nonlinear analysis of a space frame structure. The fiber stress-strain relationship is an extended ...
Empirical Determination of the Basic Modes of Cumulus Heating and Drying Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The constraint on the coupled vertical profiles of cumulus heating and drying, which can be used as a partial closure in cumulus parameterization, is examined using observational data from convectively active regions in ...
Large Deformation of Inelastic Large Space Frame. II: Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Material and geometric nonlinear analysis of the tested models for a large space frame is presented based on the 1D finite-element method. The analytical results have been confirmed to agree sufficiently with the experimental ...
