Experimental analysis of HRSG for simulating internal flow behavior using Euler and swirl similitudes
Experimental analysis with a scale-reduction model enables data measurements and analysis of physical phenomena that could not be performed in a real model because of numerous constraining conditions and envir...

Design optimization of HRSG inlet duct geometry for improving flow uniformity using meta-heuristic algorithm
The HRSG extensively affects all performance of CCPPs. The inlet duct geometry of an HRSG is the most essential part for determining heat exchange in the main body, in terms of flow uniformity. In the present ...

Reliability analysis for the uncertainties in vehicle and high-speed railway bridge system based on an improved response surface method for nonlinear limit states
The paper deals with the reliability analysis for the high-speed railway bridge systems. Although the bridge–vehicle interactive system has much more uncertainties in the resistance and loads of trains moving ...

Analytical approach for the earthquake performance evaluation of repaired/retrofitted RC bridge piers using time-dependent element
In order to evaluate the seismic performance of damaged reinforced concrete members, particularly bridge piers, an inelastic time-dependent element is proposed. The proposed element enables increased character...
