RISDynamic Modeling of a Monopropellant-Based Chemofluidic Actuation System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a dynamic model of a monopropellant-based chemofluidic power supply and actuation system. The proposed power supply and actuation system, as presented in prior works, is ...
Clear-Water Scour below Underwater Pipelines under Steady Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experiments on clear-water scour below underwater pipelines (initially laid on the sediment bed) in uniform and nonuniform sediments under steady flow were conducted. Equilibrium scour profiles were modeled by a cubic ...
Using the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer as a Mixture Performance Test to Select Appropriate Binder Grades for Airport Pavements
Publisher:
Abstract: In this study, the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) was investigated for its ability to detect asphalt paving mixtures designed for airfields that may be prone to rutting. The objective of this study is to evaluate acceptance ...
Structural Response of LVR Flexible Pavements at Mn/Road Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pavement surface deflection basins provide valuable information for the structural evaluation of flexible pavements. Surface deflection measurements are rapid, inexpensive, and nondestructive and are used frequently as an ...
Prediction of Safe Bearing Capacity of Noncohesive Soil in Arid Zone Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Estimation of safe bearing capacity (SBC) of noncohesive soil based on Indian Standard Code requires a lot of field work, viz, conducting direct shear tests to determine cohesion and angle of internal friction, performing ...
A Novel Adiabatic Pipe Flow Equation for Ideal Gases
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compressible flow involves variation in the density with changes in pressure and temperature along the pipe length. This article revisits the conventional adiabatic pipe flow equation and finds ...
Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer and Friction Characteristics of Arc Shaped Roughness Elements Having Central Gaps on the Absorber Plate of Solar Air Heater
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal performance of solar air heater does not take into account the energy loss due to friction for propelling air through the duct. In this work, an experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effect ...

Efficiency Improvement of a Photovoltaic Module Using Front Surface Cooling Method in Summer and Winter Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) cells exhibit long-term degradation, when its temperature exceeds a certain limit. On the other hand, decreasing the temperature results in lower PV cell efficiency. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate ...
Rutting Predictions in Flexible Airfield Pavements Using a Newly Modified Drucker–Prager Combined Hardening Model with Progressively Evolving Yield Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Granular materials subjected to compressive cyclic loading of constant amplitude when modeled using an isotropic hardening, elastoplastic Drucker-Prager (DP) model do not accumulate significant plastic strain beyond the ...
