RISEnergy Tax and Choice of House Construction Techniques in India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Energy conservation is an important issue in building design. Therefore, it is logical to apply the principle of energy costing to building projects and to look for ways to minimize the total energy consumed during the ...
Regional Qualitative and Quantitative Aspects of Houses in Tokyo Metropolitan Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In Japan, the number of houses available exceeds the demand in all prefectures. Improving housing quality has gained importance over building new dwelling stock. The thrust of housing policies and programs in Japan is to ...
Sustainable Practices to Meet Shelter Needs in India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adequate shelter for all is one of the most pressing challenges faced by developing countries. Based on its census of 1991, India had a shortage of 18.5 million houses in 1991, and this number would have swollen since then. ...
Improvement of the RELAP5-3D Condensation Heat Transfer Model in the Presence of Noncondensable Gases
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Condensation of steam on the primary side of steam generator in a pressurized water reactor is one of the means of removing decay heat during accident scenarios such as a small break loss of coolant accident. With the ...
Stationary Shoulder Friction Stir Assisted Scribe Technique for Dissimilar Joining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We report on implementation of a stationary shoulder in dissimilar joints of Al-steel and Al-carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) using friction stir assisted scribe technology (FaST). Viable joint strength similar to ...
Evaluating the Suitability of Clayey and Siliceous Limestone for the Synthesis of High-Ye’elimite Calcium Sulfoaluminate-Belite Cement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractCalcium sulfoaluminate-belite (CSAB) cement has gained interest as an alternative
low-CO2 cement to conventional portland cement (PC) for various applications, offering beneficial
properties such as reduced setting ...
Characteristics of the Heat Flux in the Unstable Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he behavior of the heat flux H with respect to the stability parameter (=z/L, where z is the height above the ground, and L is the Obukhov length) in the unstable atmospheric surface layer is analyzed within the framework ...
Characteristics of the Drag Coefficient over a Tropical Environment in Convective Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he turbulent data over a tropical region are utilized to analyze the observational behavior of the drag coefficient with respect to wind speed U and the stability parameter in convective conditions. The drag coefficient ...
Structural Fiber Composite Materials for Cold Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber composites are an attractive class of materials for construction in the remote and desolate terrains of cold regions and the Arctic. Data on the cold weather performance of these materials is sparse. High residual ...
Thermal Modeling, Experimental Validation, and Comparative Analysis of Modified Solar Stills
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present work, an effort is carried out to enhance the distillate yield of a single-slope basin-type solar still by increasing the heat input through its transparent walls and providing hanging wicks to increase the ...
