RISConsolidation of Saturated Kaolin Subjected to Intermittent Thermal Loading with Temperature Gradient
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper explores the influence of two thermal loading protocols on the evolutions of stress state and soil consolidation characteristics during subsequent mechanical loading. We employed a specially designed thermal ...
Thermal Conductivity of Sand with Fines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThrough a series of more than 100 laboratory-controlled tests that employed a specially
designed soil thermal conductivity measurement apparatus, this work quantifies the
variations in thermal conductivity k for ...
Physicochemical Characterization and Pyrolysis Kinetic Study of Sugarcane Bagasse Using Thermogravimetric Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties and pyrolysis kinetics of sugarcane bagasse (SB). The physiochemical properties of SB were determined to examine its potential for pyrolysis. ...
Modeling and Identification of Real-Time Processes Based on Nonzero Setpoint Autotuning Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents a real-time system modeling and identification scheme for estimation of plant model parameters using a single asymmetrical relay test. A modified set of analytical expressions for unknown plant models ...
Bioremoval of Fluoride from Synthetic Water Using Gram-Negative Bacteria <i>Shewanella putrefaciens</i>
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the present investigation, a defluoridation study was carried out using the bacteria Shewanella putrefaciens in the bulk phase as well as immobilized phase in a batch reactor. Growth of the bacterial cells and their ...
Formation and Characterization of Tribofilms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fundamentals of tribofilm formation and their properties were studied. In order to understand the effects of lubricants on tribofilms, four base oils were investigated. Lubricants include castor ...
