RISDaily Air Temperature and Electricity Load in Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Weather has a significant impact on different sectors of the economy. One of the most sensitive is the electricity market, because power demand is linked to several weather variables, mainly the air temperature. This work ...
Behavior of Bimetallic Absorber in Parabolic Collectors During DSG to Low Powers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal and mechanical behaviors of absorbers of different material for its application in parabolic collectors during the direct steam generation, with low mass flows (90kg∕hto120kg∕h) and low ...
The Paraná River Response to El Niño 1982–83 and 1997–98 Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most severe flooding of the twentieth century in the Argentine section of the Paraná River occurred during the strong El Niño (EN) event of 1983. During the 1997?98 EN episode, discharge anomalies in the Paraná basin, ...
Processing Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties in Experimental Data From Sparse Replicate Tests of Stochastic Systems for Real-Space Model Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a practical methodology for propagating and processing uncertainties associated with random measurement and estimation errors (that vary from test-to-test) and systematic measurement and estimation ...
The Conservative Random Choice Method for the Numerical Solution of the Advection Equation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A version of the random choice method (RCM), which we call the conservative random choice method (CRCM), is introduced to solve the variable coefficient linear advection equation. CRCM is an advection scheme that does not ...
Effect of Additives on the Durability and Properties of Antireflective Films for Solar Glass Covers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Generally, single layer antireflective (AR) coatings are based on SiO2 for which the low refractive index is achieved by increasing the porosity of the films. On the other hand, the increase ...
Incorporation of Computer Simulations into Teaching Linear Scheduling Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study that incorporates computer simulations in teaching linear scheduling concepts and techniques, in a civil engineering course, “Construction Planning and Scheduling.” The effect of ...
A Numerical Model Coupling Reservoir and Horizontal Well Flow Dynamics—Applications in Well Completions, and Production Logging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A fully implicit, three-dimensional simulator with local grid refinement around the wellbore is developed to solve reservoir and horizontal well flow equations simultaneously, for single-phase ...
The Hydrologic Cycle of the La Plata Basin in South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The main components of the hydrologic cycle of the La Plata basin in southeastern South America are investigated using a combination of observations, satellite products, and National Centers for Environmental Prediction ...
On the Evaluation of Wind Power from Short Wind Records
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to estimate the meteorological mean wind power of a given site and year based upon data of only three months is presented. It is based on the minimization of the rms errors between observations and a representation ...
