RISCost-Effective Marine Fender Design Using an Elastoplastic Support Element: An Investigation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This manuscript investigates the potential cost savings of installing a steel elastoplastic element in series, structurally, with a commercial rubber marine fender. Along with cost savings, the results also provide insight ...
Discussion: “Heat Transfer by a Square Array of Round Air Jets Impinging Perpendicular to a Flat Surface Including the Effect of Spent Air” (Kercher, D. M., and Tabakoff, W., 1970, ASME J. Eng. Power, 92, pp. 73–82)

Challenges for Water Management in Tucson, Arizona
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tucson, AZ is one of the nation's largest cities entirely dependent on groundwater for its water supplies. It faced a 1980 overdraft of over 60% of the area's total groundwater withdrawals. The quality of its diminishing ...
Heat Transfer and Pumping on a Rotating Disk With Freely Induced and Forced Cooling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study of the heat transfer characteristics of flows between a high speed rotating disk and a parallel stationary shroud is presented. Flow and disk heat transfer rates have ...
The Influence of Turbine Clearance Gap Leakage on Passage Velocity and Heat Transfer Near Blade Tips: Part I—Sink Flow Effects on Blade Pressure Side
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study has been conducted to investigate influences of tip leakage flow on heat transfer and flow development along the pressure side of a gas turbine blade. An analysis of the sink character ...
The Influence of Turbine Clearance Gap Leakage on Passage Velocity and Heat Transfer Near Blade Tips: Part II—Source Flow Effects on Blade Suction Sides
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study has been designed and conducted to investigate turbine blade suction side heat transfer and flow near the tip clearance gap. Modeling of the phenomena was carried out in ...
The Relationship between Total Cloud Lightning Behavior and Radar-Derived Thunderstorm Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: otal lightning detection systems have been in development since the mid-1980s and deployed in several areas around the world. Previous studies on total lightning found intra- and intercloud lightning (IC) activity tends ...
Local Heat Transfer in Internally Cooled Turbine Airfoil Leading Edge Regions: Part I—Impingement Cooling Without Film Coolant Extraction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study has been designed and performed to measure very localized internal heat transfer characteristics in large-scale models of turbine blade impingement-cooled leading edge regions. ...
Local Heat Transfer in Internally Cooled Turbine Airfoil Leading Edge Regions: Part II—Impingement Cooling With Film Coolant Extraction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study has been designed and performed to measure very localized internal heat transfer characteristics in large-scale models of turbine blade impingement-cooled leading edge regions ...
Heat Transfer and Effectiveness on Film Cooled Turbine Blade Tip Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In unshrouded axial turbine stages, a small but generally unavoidable clearance between the blade tips and the stationary outer seal allows a clearance gap leakage flow to be driven across the ...
