RISNumerical Investigation of Equivalence Ratio Effects on a Converted Diesel Engine Using Natural Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a diesel tractor engine is numerically modeled to run entirely on natural gas by installing a natural gas fuel injector on the intake manifold and assembling a spark plug in lieu of a diesel injector. In the ...
Three-Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation and Mesh Size Effect of the Conversion of a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine to Spark-Ignition Natural Gas Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With developing in computer technology, three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) internal combustion (IC) engine simulations, which generally use reduced chemical kinetic mechanisms and simplified combustion ...
Green Building Certification Process of Existing Buildings in Developing Countries: Cases from Turkey
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainability has become a major concern for the construction industry. There has been a growing emphasis on green buildings in the last decade. Renovation is critical in terms of improving the energy efficiency of the ...
Structural Analyses and Assessment of Historical Kamanlı Mosque in Izmir, Turkey
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers

Oscillatory Flow Induced Developing Convection in a Shallow Enclosure: Effect of Sinusoidal Bottom Wall Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence of hydrodynamically developing nonzero mean acoustic streaming motion on transient convective heat transfer in an air-filled rectangular enclosure is studied numerically. The enclosure is two-dimensional with ...
Minor Axis Moment-Thrust Response Behavior in Steel I-Shaped Members
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most current design specifications employed throughout the world prescribe the use of so-called interaction equations for the case of beam–columns. Most often these interaction equations are optimized for use with the case ...
