Abstract: This paper studies the heat and mass transfer characteristics in a steam reforming reactor using numerical simulation and investigates the operating parameters for effective hydrogen production. ...

Abstract: The metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) was introduced as a new fuel cell design because it provides high mechanical strength and blocks gas leakage. Ordinary SOFCs should be manufactured ...

Abstract: The effects of turbocharger rotation inertia on instantaneous turbine efficiency were analyzed in a 2.0 L four-cylinder twin-scroll turbocharged gasoline direct injection (T-GDI) engine. Two turbochargers of different ...

Abstract: Desiccation of exposed clayey materials in cover layers of waste containment systems can ultimately result in the development of cracks that can promote the infiltration of rainwater and/or snowmelt, and escape of gases ...

Abstract: In order to understand the mechanism by which aqueous polymers improve the resistance of clayey barrier soils to stresses, it is important to precisely determine the quantity of polymer that is sorbed onto barrier soil ...

Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in protecting reinforced concrete (RC) columns from corrosion of steel reinforcement. Thirty small-scale RC columns and four midscale ...

Abstract: Prefabrication and just-in-time (JIT) delivery are important components of a lean supply system. Past research focuses on how much lead time is reduced and how much costs are saved, but few have studied the environmental ...

Abstract: Efforts to prevent the debonding failure mode of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems have led to the investigation of many different kinds of anchorage systems. An effective anchorage ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled steel pipes have been used as piles for supporting civil and marine structures. These piles provide good bending resistance, and can be easily spliced for long depth installation. ...
