RISModeling the Influence of Drying Conditions on the Stress Buildup During Drying of Paperboard
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper concerns the drying process in the manufacturing of paperboard. Of particular interest are the effects of through-thickness property variation in paperboard during drying. In addition, ...
A Note on the Influence of Spatially Varying Diffusivities on the Evolution of Buoyancy with a Nonlinear Equation of State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he oceanic buoyancy sinks from thermobaricity and cabbeling are quantified using hydrography and parameterized diffusive fluxes of heat and salt. A novelty in this study is that the effect of spatially varying diffusivities ...
Ground Temperature in Porous Pavement during Freezing and Thawing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Porous pavements are widely used for local disposal of storm water. This paper presents the results of a full-scale study of ground temperatures in porous pavement during periods with prolonged freezing conditions and ...
Model for Decay of Random Waves in Surf Zone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for the decay of random waves in the surf zone that requires transformation of only one representative wave height [root-mean square (RMS)] without making any assumption about the shape of the probability-density ...
Model of Beach Profile Change under Random Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical model is developed to calculate the average net cross-shore transport rate and beach profile evolution under random waves. Cross-shore transport formulas for random waves are derived by superimposing the transport ...
Modeling a Hydrothermal System with Hydro- and Snow Reservoirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic model for analyzing the effects of variable precipitation on the Nordic power system. The model is formulated as a multistage stochastic linear program and solved by the ReSa sampling based ...
Hybrid Dish/Stirling Systems: Combustor and Heat Pipe Receiver Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A hybrid sodium heat pipe receiver has been developed within the project HYHPIRE, funded 50% by the European Commission. The hybrid receiver was designed for the SBP/LCS 10-kWel dish/Stirling ...
Acoustic Modeling of Charge Air Coolers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The necessity of reducing CO2 emissions has lead to an increased number of passenger cars that utilize turbocharging to maintain performance when the internal combustion (IC) engines are downsized. Charge air coolers (CACs) ...
Partition Walls and Their Restraining Effect on Warp in Built-In Wall Studs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The focus is on understanding the behavior of walls with regard to the propensity of studs to warp at different moisture content. Experimental tests on whole wall structures were conducted. The walls were built up using ...
The Buoyancy Budget with a Nonlinear Equation of State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he nonlinear equation of state of seawater introduces a sink or source of buoyancy when water parcels of unequal salinities and temperatures are mixed. This article contains quantitative estimates of these nonlinear effects ...
