RISExploring the Use of Fe2.5Ni2.5Sn3 as a Monolithic Catalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction Under Alkaline Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Enabling a hydrogen fuel-based economy is reliant on the discovery of materials that catalyze the electrolysis of water which requires low-cost catalytic electrodes to improve the kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction. ...
Land Surface Heterogeneity Signature in Tornado Climatology? An Illustrative Analysis over Indiana, 1950–2012
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and surface heterogeneity affects mesoscale interactions, including the evolution of severe convection. However, its contribution to tornadogenesis is not well known. Indiana is selected as an example to present an assessment ...
Climate Variability and the U.S. Corn Belt: ENSO and AO Episode-Dependent Hydroclimatic Feedbacks to Corn Production at Regional and Local Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: l Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO) climatology (1980?2010) is developed and analyzed across the U.S. Corn Belt using state climate division weather and historic corn yield data using analysis ...
A Hydroclimatological Assessment of Regional Drought Vulnerability: A Case Study of Indiana Droughts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: haracterizing and developing drought climatology continues to be a challenging problem. As decision makers seek guidance on water management strategies, there is a need for assessing the performance of drought indices. ...
Thermal Modeling, Experimental Validation, and Comparative Analysis of Modified Solar Stills
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present work, an effort is carried out to enhance the distillate yield of a single-slope basin-type solar still by increasing the heat input through its transparent walls and providing hanging wicks to increase the ...
A Method for Estimating Planetary Boundary Layer Heights and Its Application over the ARM Southern Great Plains Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new objective method to determine the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is presented here. PBL heights are computed using the statistical variance and kurtosis of dewpoint and virtual potential temperature ...
Detailed Hydrodynamic Study for Performance Optimization of a Combined Lift and Drag-Based Modified Savonius Water Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A combined lift and drag (CLD) Savonius water turbine is an advanced form of Savonius water turbine that has higher efficiency than the latter. However, its detailed hydrodynamic performance optimization is still unexplored, ...
Upper-Bound Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Rested on Unsaturated Sands and Subjected to Eccentric and Inclined Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article deals with the load-bearing capacity of strip foundations resting on unsaturated sands and subjected to eccentric and inclined loading. The numerical simulations are performed by modifying the conventional ...
Thermomechanical Properties of Cycled Ceramic/Glass Composite Seals for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present research focuses on a novel ceramic/glass composite seal. These seals first underwent a curing cycle. The cycled seal was then characterized with a laser dilatometer to identify the glass transition, softening ...
Integrating Compact Thermal Models in CFD Simulations of Electronic Packages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compact thermal models (CTMs) are simplified multi-nodal thermal resistor network representations of the detailed material and geometric structure of the electronic package. CTMs predict the thermal ...
