RISPerformance and Water Consumption of the Solar Steam Injection Gas Turbine Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar heat at moderate temperatures around 200 آ°C can be utilized for augmentation of conventional steaminjection gas turbine power plants. Solar concentrating collectors for such an application can be simpler and less ...
Seasonal and Spatial Variability of Near-Inertial Kinetic Energy from Historical Moored Velocity Records
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temporal and spatial patterns of near-inertial kinetic energy (KEmoor) are investigated in a database of 2480 globally distributed, moored current-meter records (deployed on 690 separate moorings) and compared with the ...
Gross-Error Detection in GNSS Networks Using Spanning Trees
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many methods and techniques have been developed to detect gross errors in geodetic measurements, but none seems to have prevailed. Statistical tests and robust methods are the most common approaches for detecting outliers ...

Modeling Satisfaction with the Walking Environment: The Case of an Urban University Neighborhood in a Developing Country
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This case study investigates the level of satisfaction of students at the American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, with the walking environment of the university’s surroundings. The analysis is conducted by developing ...
Mesoscale Measures of Nonaffine Deformation in Dense Granular Assemblies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We probe the origins of nonaffine deformation in discrete element simulations of densely packed granular systems under biaxial compression, using a new local measure of nonaffine micropolar deformation. This measure ...
Study of the Apsidal Precession of the Physical Symmetrical Pendulum
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We study the apsidal precession of a physical symmetrical pendulum (PSP) (Allais’ precession) as a generalization of the precession corresponding to the ideal spherical pendulum (ISP) (Airy’s precession). Based on the ...
Micrometeorological Modeling of Radiative and Convective Effects with a Building-Resolving Code
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n many micrometeorological studies with computational fluid dynamics, building-resolving models usually assume a neutral atmosphere. Nevertheless, urban radiative transfers play an important role because of their influence ...
Modeling Techniques of Best Management Practices: Rain Barrels and Rain Gardens Using EPA SWMM-5
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well established that the excess storm-water runoff volume from impervious areas can lead to impairments and water pollution originating from the sewer system overflow and combined sewer systems overflow. This ...
Nonlinear Behavior of Helmholtz Resonator With a Compliant Wall for Low-Frequency, Broadband Noise Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Low-frequency sound attenuation is often pursued using Helmholtz resonators (HRs). The introduction of a compliant wall around the acoustic cavity results in a two degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) system capable of more broadband ...
