Abstract: Many components in high-temperature plant experience steady mechanical loads combined with cyclic thermal loads due to routine shutdowns. Less frequent but more severe thermal loads due to unplanned ...

Abstract: Computer calculations, incorporating analysis of elastic, plastic and creep effects, are performed on a Bree plate subjected to steady mechanical load and cyclic thermal downshocks on one surface. ...

Abstract: Previously reported computations are extended to analyze a Bree plate subjected to steady mechanical load and cyclic thermal downshocks on both surfaces. It is shown that two critical plate ...

Abstract: The study presented here consists of rainfall‐runoff events produced with a large rainfall simulator. Three test plots were 2.44 m wide, with lengths of 6.1 m, 13.72 m, and 24.38 m, and a slope of 2%. The soil on the plots ...

Abstract: This investigation consisted of an experimental study of the natural convection heat transfer from a square, horizontally oriented electronic component board mounted in a low-aspect-ratio enclosure ...

Abstract: Monthly streamflow forecasting during spring-summer runoff season using snow telemetry (SNOTEL) precipitation and snow water equivalent (SWE) as predictors in the Rio Grande Headwaters Basin in Colorado was investigated. ...

Abstract: The application of partial least-squares regression (PLSR) in seasonal streamflow forecasting was investigated using snow water equivalent, precipitation, temperature from automatic Snow Telemetry sites, and previous flow ...

Abstract: This study used artificial neural networks (ANNs) computing technique for infilling missing daily saltcedar evapotranspiration (ET) as measured by the eddy-covariance method. The study site was at Bosque del Apache National ...
