RISNotes on Temperature-Dependent Lidar Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temperature dependence of molecular backscatter coefficients must be taken into account when narrowband interference filters are used in lidar measurements. Thus, the spectral backscatter differential cross section of ...
Acoustic-Structural Resonances of Thin-Walled Structure—Gas Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper summarizes a theoretical study, which is a natural continuation of approximately 50 years of research in the field of acoustoelasticity. Recently, the researchers’ interest has been ...
Free Vibrations of Cylindrical Storage Tanks: Finite-Element Analysis and Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This note summarizes a theoretical and experimental study undertaken to provide a deeper understanding of the effect of different parameters on the coupled modal characteristics of circular cylindrical tanks. First, the ...
Observed Trends and Changes in Temperature Extremes over Argentina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this note, changes in temperature extremes over a 40-yr period are analyzed, based on daily minimum and maximum temperatures over Argentina. Trend analysis was performed on seasonal means, standard deviations, and ...
Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Jet Scour through Implementation of a Single Phase Eulerian Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Particle transport by fluid is probably one of the most difficult and involved subjects among fluid dynamics, with many important issues in this field still to be fully understood. The main purpose in this work was to ...
Using Neural Networks for Prediction of Properties of Polymer Concrete with Fly Ash
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of studies conducted with neural networks on determining the properties of polymer concrete with fly ash. Polymer concrete with different contents of fly ash and resin was prepared and tested ...
Design of an In Pile SCWR Fuel Qualification Test Loop
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the development of the supercritical watercooled reactor (SCWR), an inpile fuel assembly test loop has been designed within the framework of the joint Chinese–European project, called SCWRFQT (Fuel Qualification Test). ...
Federal Toll Road Concession Program in Brazil: Is It Moving in the Right Direction?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper assesses the toll road concession program started by the federal government of Brazil, from its beginning in 1996 until 2012. Brazil has one of the longest road networks, under private concessions, in the entire ...
Experiments and CFD Analyses for a New Reaction Microhydro Propeller with Five Blades
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This works aims to develop and study a new reaction microhydro tubular propeller turbine with five blades as a promising answer to solve the lack of energy in rural and remote areas. The first stage is to validate numerical ...
Energy Efficiency Improvement in K-12 Schools: A Case Study in Florida
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: K-12 schools are responsible for over 1.4% of the total annual energy consumption in the United States. In a collaboration between Florida Institute of Technology and Brevard Public Schools (BPS), three schools are identified ...
