The “We” and “Me” of Identity in Hazardous Industry Organizations: Face Work Tactics Among Practicing Engineers

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In this paper, we use Goffman's notion of “face work” to examine how pipeline engineers perform and present their working selves as competent experts. Our analysis identifies various faces and face work tactics, including a focus on professional judgment, actively selling one's expertise relative to others, protective self‐deprecatory strategies, and ...

Optimal Design of Anti-Icing Blunt Trailing-Edge Wind Wheel for H-Type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Under Operating Conditions

Journal of Solar Energy Engineering
Abstract A novel optimization method is developed for the design of an anti-icing blunt trailing-edge wind wheel of H-type vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) based on the quasi-steady-state icing. The parametric expression of the airfoil is given using the mean camber and thickness functions, the blunt trailing-edge is constructed by the ...

The Substantiation of a Wind Wheel’s Design With Gyrating Sailing Vanes at Low-Speed Conditions of Winds

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1999
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In the paper is given the substantiation of application of multistage wind engines with vertical rotation axis. For this purpose is detected the regularity of variations of instantaneous average values of areas of windward surfaces of vanes for one -, two -, three- and four-stage

Optimal design of the blunt trailing-edge wind wheel with a bionic V-riblets structure for H-type vertical axis wind turbines

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy
The unconventional V-riblets structure originated from the shark skin has excellent performance in drag-reduction, and is applied to the suction surface of the airfoil. The blade trailing-edge thickening delays the flow separation, increases the pressure difference, and reduces the roughness sensitivity, but it also causes an increase in drag.
