RISEnhancing NWP-Based Reference Evapotranspiration Forecasts: Role of ETo Approaches and Temperature Postprocessing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) forecasts are essential for estimating irrigation water demand and agricultural water management. However, studies have not examined numerical weather prediction (NWP)–based ETo forecast ...
Application of an Expert System to the Design of Furnace of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of a boiler using a new technology, i.e., circulating fluidized bed combustion, requires a considerable amount of expertise, which is a combination of experience, knowledge of the ...
Cities as the Engine of Growth: Evidence from India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper estimates their contributions to total gross state domestic product in an attempt to revisit the issue of cities as the engine of growth. Because direct evidence on this aspect is missing, this paper uses the ...
Prediction of Inelastic Mechanisms Leading to Seismic Failure of Interior Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Inelastic mechanisms leading to failure in interior reinforced concrete beam–column (RCBC) connections, designed on the concept of strong column–weak beam philosophy, primarily result from failure of the joint region and ...
Identifying and Classifying Highway Bottlenecks Based on Spatial and Temporal Variation of Speed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel approach to identify bottlenecks on highways using probe data collected by commercial global positioning system (GPS) fleet management devices installed in trucks. Further, the bottlenecks ...
Comprehensive Drought Assessment Tool for Coastal Areas, Bays, and Estuaries: Development of a Coastal Drought Index
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The interface of freshwater and saltwater plays an important role in the economic and social dynamics along the coast and estuaries. Droughts in coastal areas have ecological impacts and affect socioeconomic dynamics and ...
Analytical Study on Intricacies of Axial Conduction in Microchannel Heat Sinks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microchannel heat sinks are potential devices that remove heat flux from high power density miniaturized electronic components. While the large surface-area-to-volume ratio and high heat transfer coefficient are the key ...
City Size Effect on Migration and Poverty: Study of Million-Plus Cities in India
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: City size plays an important role in the context of growing urbanization in developing countries, such as India. In the backdrop of this fact certain questions are pertinent: whether economic activities are concentrated ...
Thermohydraulic Behavior of Minichannel Surface Simulated With Gaussian Function and Actual Roughness Data Generated Using Three-Dimensional Optical Surface Profilometer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of surface roughness on the thermohydraulics in minichannels has been studied numerically. Fluid flow (at low Reynolds number) through a typical three-dimensional (3D) channel subjected to constant heat flux (at ...
Behavior of RC Buildings Located on Hill Slopes under Earthquake Shaking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buildings on hill slopes have suffered significant damage from past earthquakes due to poor design and construction practices. Therefore, Indian building code restricts the natural period of building on slopes based on ...
