RISExplosion Differentiation Using Light Emissions—Nuclear Reactor, Steam, Water Hammer, Hydrogen, Piper Alpha, and Hydro-Volcanic Explosions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Light emissions during chemical reactions provide insights into various scenarios to better understand explosions and water hammers. For example, hydrogen burning and explosions emit blue light, organic carbon combustion ...
Water Relief Through Safety or Relief Valves is not Just a Leak
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two Nuclear Safety Advisory Letters (NSALs), advise operators of PWRs that they may assume, in accident analyses, that certain safety and relief valves can open, relieve water, and then reseat properly. The NSALs claim ...
Research on Electromagnetic Interference Protection of Nuclear Power Unit Equipment Under the Application of New Wireless Technology in Smart Nuclear Power
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intelligence is the trend of industrial development in today’s world, which will inevitably affect the nuclear power field, thus promoting nuclear power industry from digital to intelligent forward. 5G and Wi-Fi6, as a new ...
Validation Study of a Computer-Aided Design Augmentation Tool for Cost Estimation1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While fundamentals of DFMA (design for manufacturing and assembly) are widely accepted and used in the engineering community, many CAD environments lack tools that address manufacturing concerns by providing rapid feedback ...
Investigation of the Interfacial Adhesion Strength of Parts Additively Manufactured on Fabrics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research first presents a method of peel testing developed by the researchers to characterize the strength of the interface between fabric and additively manufactured material. Experimentation is next presented that ...
Multi-Objective Optimization and Tradespace Analysis of a Mechanical Clock Movement Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pendulum clocks were the prevalent time keeping standard for centuries to regulate commerce and public activities. These mechanical movements were the most accurate timekeepers globally until replaced by electric clocks. ...
A Comparison of Industrial-Scale Radiometer Heat Flux Measurements Between Pulverized-Coal and Coal/Biomass Co-Firing Combustion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work evaluates and compares radiative heat transfer measurements conducted at the 471−MWE Hunter Power Plant Unit 3 utility boiler in Utah, United States, during standard operation with coal and also co-firing with ...
Part Change Management: A Case Study on Automotive Engineering and Production; Domestic and International Perspectives
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to interest in aspects such as process, strategies, and tools of engineering changes expressed in a literature review, a case study was done on a major automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to assess the ...
Laser Forming of Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Small-scale flexible (or compliant) mechanisms are valuable in replacing rigid components while retaining comparable motion and behavior. However, fabricating such mechanisms on this scale (from 0.01 to 10 cm) proves ...
Insight Into Recompression Brayton Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recompression cycles have the potential to offer high performance when design parameters such as feasibility, performance, and compactness are considered. These cycles have recently gained attention especially in nuclear ...
