MAXIMIZING USE OF AIR-SIDE ECONOMIZATION, DIRECT AND INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLING FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT DATA CENTERS
(2016-05-10)
Data centers house information technology (IT) equipment such as servers and network switches which are vital for our networked modern society by providing digital data storage, data processing and connectivity. Data ...
ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER STRUCTURE FORMED DURING CORROSION OF STEEL PIPES CARRYING POTABLE WATER
(2016-05-10)
Corrosion of steel pipes carrying drinking water is a universal issue. It affects human health as the corrosion sediments in these pipes can be toxic and unfit for consumption. Further, the amassing of the corrosion products ...
THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL AND SELF-INDUCED MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CORROSION ON FEROUS AND NON-FERROUS MATERIALS
(2016-09-13)
As the US Navy continues to field ships with an increasing number
of electrical generators and loads, it is unclear how the high magnetic fields being generated throughout the ship will affect the corrosion rate of the ...
RELIABILITY CHALLENGES IN AIRSIDE ECONOMIZATION AND OIL IMMERSION COOLING
(2016-05-16)
The Datacom facility which comprises rooms or closets used for communication, computers/servers or electronic equipment requires cooling unit which consumes 31% (23% HVAC cooling + 8% HVAC fans) of overall energy. The ...
A Study of Electrical Double Layer Structure over a Corroding Steel Surface in Sea Water
(2016-05-10)
Corrosion is a natural deterioration phenomenon that throws profound adverse effects on the performance of structural steel in marine applications. Seawater consists of various corrosive components such as chlorine ions, ...
Modeling of hydrogen sulfide generation and rates of microbial induced concrete corrosion in manhole shafts
(2021-08-31)
Manhole shafts can undergo infrastructure failure due to microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC). Deterioration of the sewer systems by MICC process occurs due to the volatilization of hydrogen sulfide into the gas ...
Synthesis of nickel-titanium intermetallic surface coatings via electrolytic plasma processing
(2020-05-28)
Electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) is an environmentally friendly surface cleaning
and deposition technique. Dependant on circuit polarity, anionic or cationic species can
be deposited from an aqueous electrolyte bridge, ...
PERFORMANCE OF CRACKED REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
(2020-09-01)
Performance of reinforced concrete pipes, as a major part of the water and waste-water infrastructure, plays an important role in the resilience and sustainability of today’s modern cities. Cracks may appear in these pipes ...
An Investigation on the Corrosion Inhibition of Brazing Cu-Ag Alloy
(2020-08-25)
Adsorption and inhibition behavior of 1,2,3-benzotriazole (BTA) and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD) on brazing Cu-Ag alloy was studied in deionized water using corrosion potential measurement, potentiodynamic ...
REMAINING SERVICE LIFE ESTIMATION AND PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SEWER PIPELINE SYSTEMS
(2019-08-26)
The serviceability and structural performance of reinforced concrete pipes could deteriorate for many reasons. The loss in structural capacity and other structural operations may drastically affect the surrounding environment, ...
