Sense, Model and Identify the Load Signatures of HVAC Systems in Metro Stations

, 2013
The HVAC systems in subway stations are energy consuming giants, each of which may consume over 10, 000 Kilowatts per day for cooling and ventilation. To save energy for the HVAC systems, it is critically important to firstly know the "load signatures ...

Innovative Processing of Compacted Waste Aluminum Alloy Powders via Controlled Remelting and Solidification

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an efficient recycling route for out‐of‐spec AlSi10Mg atomized powders through compaction and arc remelting followed by suction casting. By correlating compaction load, cooling rate, and resulting microstructure, we show that intermediate pressures (50–80 kN) and rapid cooling refine dendrites, reduce porosity, and enhance ...

Study on microstructure evolution and deformation behavior of Mg– Zn base alloy pipes during hot bending

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
The strong basal fiber texture of magnesium (Mg) alloy pipes usually leads to poor secondary forming performance. In this study, Mg–2Zn-0.4Ce-0.4Mn (ZME) and Mg–2Zn-0.4Ce-0.4Mn-0.2Ca (ZMEX) pipes were prepared.

Hydraulophone design considerations : absement, displacement, and velocity-sensitive music keyboard in which each key is a water jet [PDF]

, 2006
We present a musical keyboard that is not only velocity-sensitive, but in fact responds to absement (presement), displacement (placement), velocity, acceleration, jerk, jounce, etc. (i.e. to all the derivatives, as well as the integral, of displacement).

Reduction of Oxide Inclusions During the High‐Frequency Welding of Steel via a Nonthermal Ar/H2 Plasma Jet

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...

Numerical analysis of a sling support arrangement for grp composite pressure vessels [PDF]

, 1997
A flexible sling support arrangement for horizontal glass reinforced plastic pressure vessels is examined using advanced finite element methods. A mathematical model is produced employing a suitable analysis capable of representing the non-linear ...

Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

The concept of digital twin used to investigate geometrical variations in the production of pipe spools

Advances in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, 2021
The fourth industrial revolution comprises the digital transformation of manufacturing by means of an intensive integration of advanced information and communication technologies. The possibility of creating interactive virtual replicas of the physical entities to predict and detect physical issues and optimize processes is one of the key benefits of ...
