A New Cloud Screening Algorithm for Ground-Based Direct-Beam Solar Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud screening of direct-beam solar radiation is an essential step for in situ calibration and atmospheric properties retrieval. The internal cloud screening module of a Langley analysis program [Langley Analyzer (LA)] ...
Improved Model of an Intermediate Point Enthalpy Control System for Enhancing Boiler Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Control quality of an once-through boiler’s water-fuel ratio (WFR) and main-steam temperature are heavily influenced by the control quality of the once-through boiler’s intermediate point enthalpy (IPE), and it is also ...
On the Complex Simulations With Dark–Bright to the Hirota–Maccari System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the coupled nonlinear Hirota–Maccari system with the help of using an analytical approach, which is the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method (ShGEEM). Complex, solitary, and singular ...
Design and Comparison of Solar Thermal Oilfield Steam Production System Plans
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parabolic trough solar concentrating technology is a new and clean way to replace the conventional fossil fuel technology to generate steam for heavy oil recovery in oilfield. A computational model was constructed with ...
MODIS Consistent Vegetation Parameter Specifications and Their Impacts on Regional Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: consistent set of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) vegetation parameters, including leaf and stem area index (LAI and SAI, respectively), land-cover category (LCC), fractional vegetation cover (FVC), ...
Kinetogami: A Reconfigurable, Combinatorial, and Printable Sheet Folding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As an ancient paper craft originating from Japan, origami has been naturally embedded and contextualized in a variety of applications in the fields of mathematics, engineering, food packaging, and biological design. The ...
Development of a Seismic Probabilistic Safety Assessment Quantification Tool
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI) has been studying seismic risk analysis for nuclear power plant for a long time, and completed seismic margin analysis for several plants. After Fukushima ...
Nonlinear Energy Sink Inspired Design for Friction-Induced Vibration Suppression of Braking Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a nonlinear energy sink (NES) is designed and applied for the suppression of the friction-induced vibration (FIV) of a braking system. The equation of motion of the braking system, as well as the NES, is ...
Proposal of a Fire Loading Curve for Engineering Structures Subjected to Grassland Fires
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractWith the increasing incidence of wildland fires due to climate change, it is imperative
to strengthen engineering infrastructures in wildland–urban interface (WUI) areas
to withstand this growing threat. Current ...
Numerical Analysis of Circular Graphene Bubbles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pressurized graphene bubbles have been observed in experiments, which can be used to determine the mechanical and adhesive properties of graphene. A nonlinear plate theory is adapted to describe the deformation of a graphene ...
