RISPyrolysis of Delonix Regia and Characterization of Its Pyrolytic Products: Effect of Pyrolysis Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pyrolysis of a rarely researched biomass feedstock, Delonix regia (DR), at different pyrolysis temperatures carried out in a tubular reactor at an atmospheric pressure of one bar. In addition to the fuel and physical ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation on Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of a Bio-Oil Model Compound in a Fluidized Bed Reactor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bio-oil produced from waste biomass by various thermochemical approaches possess several drawbacks primarily due to the presence of oxygenated compounds. These compounds render bio-oil difficult to be used as normal fuel ...
Theoretical Load-Transfer Curves along Piles Considering Soil Nonlinearity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil stress-strain behavior is highly nonlinear and considerably influences the performance of a foundation. The response of single piles under axial load can be predicted from the load-transfer, or t-z, curve. This paper ...
Spectral Finite Element for Wave Propagation in Curved Beams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, spectral finite elements (SFEs) are developed for wave propagation analysis of isotropic curved beams using three different beam models: (1) the refined thirdorder shear deformation theory (TOT), (2) the ...
Elastic‐Plastic Analysis of Footings on Anisotropic Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A constitutive model using multiple yield surfaces is developed for analyzing foundation problems on anisotropic soils. The model parameters are obtained from simple triaxial test data and a close model prediction compared ...
Analysis and Design Approach for Concrete Plugs for Underground Storage Caverns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In underground crude oil storage facilities, concrete plugs are mainly required to contain crude oil inside caverns and are designed as gas-tight to prevent movement of any oil or vapor across the tunnel, either in a ...
Nonlinear Transient Response of Laminated Composite Shells
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper first compares the writers’ results of static and dynamic analyses of plates, cylindrical and spherical shells employing four-, eight-, and nine-noded elements with different integration rules with those of ...
Detectable Rain Range of Spaceborne Ka-band Radar Estimated from TRMM Precipitation Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 14/35-GHz dual-wavelength radar is expected to be one of the next-generation spaceborne rain radars. The effect of rain attenuation at higher-frequency (35 GHz) radar with different minimum sensitivities was investigated ...
Effects of Uniform Heat Flux and Velocity-Slip Conditions at Interface on Heat Transfer Phenomena of Smooth Spheres in Newtonian Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of the uniform heat flux and a linear velocity-slip on the heat transfer phenomena of spheres in Newtonian fluids are numerically investigated using semi-implicit marker and cell (SMAC) method implemented on a ...
Laminar Mixed Convection of Non-Newtonian Nanofluids Flowing Vertically Upward Across a Confined Circular Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical results on laminar mixed convective heat transfer phenomenon between a confined circular cylinder and shear-thinning type nanofluids are presented. The cylinder is placed horizontally in a confined channel through ...
