RISAnalysis and Design of the “Solar One” Thermal Storage Subsystem Heat Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the analysis and design of the five kinds of heat exchangers used in the thermal storage subsystem of the 10 MWe Solar Central Receiver Pilot Plant, now becoming more ...
Transient Thermal Waves in the General Theory of Heat Conduction With Finite Wave Speeds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The linear version of the general theory of heat conduction is employed to study the problem of a half space subjected to step time inputs of temperature. The solution is obtained by the ...
Photovoltaic Electric Power Generation from a Utility Perspective
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A substantial research and development effort is presently taking place on a worldwide basis to improve the viability of photovoltaic systems in terrestrial applications for direct conversion of ...
On the Frequency Response of Viscous Compressible Fluids as a Function of the Stokes Number
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Air, carbon dioxide, and helium test data are presented for the experimental verification of Iberall’s analysis of the dynamic pressure response of viscous compressible fluids in rigid tubes ...
Exact Transient Response of an Elastic Half Space Loaded Over a Rectangular Region of Its Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The response of an elastic half space to a normal impulsive loading over one half and also over one quarter of its bounding surface is considered. By a simple superposition the solution is ...

A Contribution to Gruebler’s Theory in the Number Synthesis of Plane Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simple algorithm is introduced to solve Gruebler’s equation for constrained kinematic chains. Use of these criteria, however, brings clearly to the fore other problems, especially for mechanisms ...
Levels of Knee Joint Research. How do We Bridge the Gap?
