RISManagement of Radon in Tunnel Drilling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: According to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) report in 1982, radiation from radon contributes about 50% of all natural radiation sources to the public. The situation is ...
Thermocapillary Convection in Floating Zones
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of ongoing studies in the area of thermocapillary convection driven by a surface tension gradient parallel to the free surface in a floating zone. Here, research ...
Reynolds Number Effects on Wind-Induced Responses of a 243-m-High Solar Tower in Elastic Wind Tunnel Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of Reynolds number on the wind-induced responses of a 243-m-high solar tower are modified by increasing the surface roughness of the test model. First, a series of wind tunnel tests on eight types of circular ...
