Thermal Performance Comparison and Augmentation of Two Identical Box-Type Solar Cookers Operating in Tropical Climatic Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present study, experimental studies have been performed to compare the thermal performance of two geometrically identical box type solar (B-T-S) cookers. To carry out this aim, the thermal performance of BTS cooker ...
Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction of a Gravity Quay Wall and the Effect of Densification in Liquefiable Sites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The lateral spreading of backfill soil caused by displacement of gravity-type quay walls is a major concern for geotechnical engineers. This paper evaluates the efficiency of a technique for mitigation of damage to quay ...
Performance Analyses of Photovoltaic Thermal Integrated Concentrator Collector Combined With Single Effect Absorption Cooling Cycle: Constant Flow Rate Mode
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present communication, performance analyses of interconnected N number of fully covered semitransparent photovoltaic thermal integrated concentrator collectors combined with single effect vapor absorption refrigeration ...
Prediction of Potential Offsite TEDE, Excess Cancer Risk, Dominant Exposure Pathways, and Activity Concentration for Hypothetical Onsite Soil Contamination at the Proposed Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study evaluates the potential offsite radiological hazards by calculating total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) and excess cancer risk if onsite soil contamination occurs at the proposed Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant ...

Model Tests and 3D Finite Element Simulations of Uplift Resistance of Shallow Rectangular Anchor Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Anchor foundations of various embedment ratios, shapes, and sizes are frequently used in civil engineering structures to provide uplift resistance. Therefore, to achieve economic and safe design of such foundations, engineers ...
Evaluation of Shape Effects for Rectangular Anchors in Dense Sand: Model Tests and 3D Finite-Element Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, three-dimensional finite element models, incorporating an elastoplastic material model coupled with isotropic simple softening law, nonassociated flow rule, and shear-band effect, are validated for the ...
