Survey of Thermal Energy Storage for Parabolic Trough Power Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A literature review was carried out to critically evaluate the state of the art of thermal energy storage applied to parabolic trough power plants. This survey briefly describes the work done ...
Second Law Analysis and Synthesis of Solar Collector Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The second law of thermodynamics is used to analyze the potential for exergy conservation in solar collector systems. It is shown that the amount of useful energy (exergy) delivered by solar ...
Polymeric Absorbers for Flat-Plate Collectors: Can Venting Provide Adequate Overheat Protection?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Venting and evaporative cooling are modeled as possible techniques for protecting polymer absorbers in single-glazed, flat-plate solar collectors from exceeding the material temperature limit during ...
An Experimental Investigation of the Flow Fields Within Geometrically Similar Miniature-Scale Centrifugal Pumps
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow fields within two miniature-scale centrifugal pumps are measured and analyzed to facilitate an understanding of how scaling influences performance. A full-scale pump, of impeller diameter ...
Time-Resolved Micro-Raman Thermometry for Microsystems in Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Micro-Raman thermometry has been demonstrated to be a feasible technique for obtaining surface temperatures with micron-scale spatial resolution for microelectronic and microelectromechanical systems ...
Mechanical Properties of Tendons: Changes With Sterilization and Preservation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tendon allografts are commonly used to replace damaged anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL). Some of the sterilization and preservation techniques used by tissue banks with tendon allografts are ...
Numerical Analysis of Crack Propagation in Cyclic-Loaded Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An improved theory is proposed for the crack-growth analysis of cyclic-loaded structures. The theory assumes that the crack tip stress-intensity-factor range, ΔK, is the controlling variable for ...
Mechanisms of Strain-Mediated Mesenchymal Stem Cell Apoptosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical conditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been adopted widely as a biophysical signal to aid tissue engineering applications. The replication of in vivo mechanical signaling ...
Far-Field Noise Control in Supersonic Jets From Conical and Contoured Nozzles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Plasma actuators are used to control far-field noise in Mach 1.65 jets from contoured and conical supersonic axisymmetric nozzles (henceforth, contoured and conical jets, respectively). The contoured ...
