RISBio Inspired Segmented Flow: Effect of Particle Elongation on the Heat Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents numerical simulations of forced convection heat transfer with parachuteshaped segmented flow. The particles are encapsulated phasechange material flowing with water through a square crosssection duct ...
Effect of Diatomite and Silica Fume as Silica Sources on Compressive Strength and Shrinkage Percentage of Fly Ash–Based Geopolymer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents the effects of silica sources (diatomite and silica fume) on the
shrinkage percentage and compressive strength of fly ash–based geopolymer containing
silica sources at 0%, 5%, 15%, 15%, 20%, and ...
Bayesian Surrogate Learning for Uncertainty Analysis of Coupled Multidisciplinary Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineering systems are often composed of many subsystems that interact with each other. These subsystems, referred to as disciplines, contain many types of uncertainty and in many cases are feedback-coupled with each ...
A Data-Driven Recommendation System for Construction Safety Risk Assessment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Subjectivity and uncertainty of risk assessment (RA) procedures can be improved by replacing guesswork with data-driven approaches such as machine learning (ML). Although a plethora of ML prediction techniques have been ...
New Bio-Inspired, Multiphase Forced Convection Cooling by ABS Plastic or Encapsulated Paraffin Beads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Preliminary experimental results of forced convection by octadecane paraffin (encapsulating phase-change material (EPCM)) particles, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic particles, or by clear (of ...
Cost-Benefit Framework to Generate Wind Hazard Mitigation Recommendations for Homeowners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind hazards are responsible for the majority of hazard losses in the United States; however, little customized information is available to provide actionable information to homeowners to support individual mitigation ...
Effect of Axial Stretch on Lumen Collapse of Arteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stability of the arteries under in vivo pressure and axial tension loads is essential to normal arterial function, and lumen collapse due to buckling can hinder the blood flow. The objective of this study was to develop ...
Effect of Apex Angle, Porosity, and Permeability on Flow and Heat Transfer in Triangular Porous Ducts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of forced convection flow and heat transfer in triangular ducts containing a porous medium. The porous medium is isotropic and the flow is laminar, fully developed with constant properties. ...
Convective Heat Transfer of Al2O3 Nanofluids in Porous Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the performance of a heat sink embedded with a porous medium and nanofluids as coolants is analyzed experimentally. The nanofluid is a mixture of de-ionized water and nanoscale Al2O3 particles with three ...
Automated Detailing and Stability Analysis of Under-Construction Masonry Vaults
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a new parametric framework to analyze the constructability of masonry vaults in the early design phase. The most important part of this constructability analysis is estimating the structural stability ...
