Hydraulic And Thermal Performances Of A High Temperature Ceramic Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger (Pfhe), Vijaisri Nagarajan, Yitung Chen, Qiuwang Wang, Ting Ma
Hydraulic And Thermal Performances Of A High Temperature Ceramic Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger (Pfhe), Vijaisri Nagarajan, Yitung Chen, Qiuwang Wang, Ting Ma
College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs
- Numerical analysis was carried for novel configuration of high temperature PFHE
- Fluid flow and heat transfer properties were studied for various fin configurations
- Ripsaw fin design with thickness of 0.05 mm gives maximum heat transfer with less pressure drop and friction factor
- Validation and parametric study were carried out for all fin configurations
Vulnerability Of Progressive Collapse In Reinforced Concrete Flat-Plate Buildings, Jinrong Liu
Vulnerability Of Progressive Collapse In Reinforced Concrete Flat-Plate Buildings, Jinrong Liu
College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs
- Progressive collapse is the spread of initial local failure, causing partial or
even total collapse of a building. - Flat plate structure is widely used for office and residential buildings.
- There is a large inventory of older flat plate building without continuous slab bottom reinforcement through columns.
- Limited knowledge exists regarding the risk of disproportionate collapse in
older flat-plates under sudden column removal during abnormal events. - Reliable mechanical model is needed for structural evaluation.
