Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEAT INTENSITY OF URBAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN HOT HUMID CLIMATE REGIONBeta Paramita, Hiroatsu FukudaLarge numbers of inhabitants in a dense area require land coverage for sheltering purposes. The anthropogenic heat emission potentially reduces ventilation of urban areas and significantly brings changes in air temperature. This study is aimed at finding the correlations between urban form and the alteration of urban microclimate in different land-uses. This study has been carried out in Bandung, Indonesia, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlobal Solar Radiation Studies Due to Sunshine Hours and Other Meteorological ParametersMfon David Umoh, Sunday O. Udo, Ye-Obong N. UdoakahMultiple linear regression models were developed to estimate the monthly daily Sunshine Hours using four parameters during a period of eleven years (1997-2007) for locations in South Eastern Nigeria. These locations include Uyo (Latitude 5°18'53.7"N), Calabar (Latitude 5°16'07.6"N), Port Harcourt (Latitude 4°56'26.2"N), Warri (Latitude 5°34'21.0"N), Enugu (Latitude 6°27'42.42"N), Owerri (Latitude 5°38'05.1"N). The parameters include Relative Humidity, Maximum and Minimum temperatures, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison and Analysis of Vertical Coherence in the Shallow Water of Two ocean regionV. G. Sivakumar, V. Rajendran, R. SaranyaNoise characteristics at shallow water is highly variable due to wave guide nature of the shallow water environment, reflection of noise from the bottom surface; due to biological activities and also due the sound speed in shallow water vary substantially. Thus noise field characterization is complex in shallow water. The ambient noise data was collected in the shallow water of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Jun 2013 · 6,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of Closed Loop LCL-T Resonant DC-to-DC Converter Using Low Cost Embedded ControllerM. Annamalai, M. Vijaya KumarThe aim of this study is to simulate and implement open loop and closed loop controlled DC-DC converter for stand-alone wind energy system. Wind turbines, however, are not always very efficient in the wind speeds that are most common to a region. Typically, wind energy systems are designed to be highly efficient in high wind speed and have a cut-off … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 6 Feb 2013 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Load Effects on Manufactured Home FoundationsRamesh K. Dhungana, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie H. FiniProblem statement: Manufactured homes are susceptible to hurricane damage. Each year, significant losses, in terms of fatalities and property damage, are reported. There is always a prevalent concern about lateral load resistance capacity of tie-down system of manufactured homes when subjected to windstorms. This study is performed to determine the effects of hurricane wind on manufactured homes’ foundations. Approach: A … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Analysis in 6 MW Wind Turbine Using Static Synchronous CompensatorR. Valarmathi, A. ChilambuchelvanProblem statement: An inherent problem with wind turbine power generation systems is the low power quality due to intermittent power generation in these systems. This not only affects the power generation but also the grid it is connected to. Approach: In this study a configuration consisting of a 6MW Wind Farm based on conventional Fixed Speed Induction Generator is analyzed. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Nov 2011 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnnual Concentration Report and Emission Sources Analysis of the Air Pollutants Measured by the Air Quality Monitoring StationP Khaenamkaew, S. Raksawong, K. Wongsorntam et al.Problem statement: Air Quality Monitoring (AQM) station at Kasetsart University, Si Racha Campus, Thailand, was routinely monitor the annual concentrations and analysis the emission sources of the air pollutants in the area since 2007. The level of concentration CO, SO2, NOx and O3 were measured. PM10 concentration was measured by mean of TOEM method. The PM10 and TSP (manifold) filters … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 1 Oct 2011 · 6,733 accessesView PDFCite
