Silver nanoparticles are found to have wide applications in diverseareas like optical receptors, bio-labelling sensors, bio active materials, solar energy conversion, signal enhancers in SERS based enzymeImmunoassay [1]. Silver nano particles exhibit high antimicrobial andanti cancer activities. The fabrication of silver nanoparticles and nanostructures has aroused the interest of many researchers. Various synthesismethods have also been devel...

Accuracy is one of the fundamental characteristics and one of the most important indexes of the quality of machines and robots. It significantly defines and, in turn, depends on their structure and applications. Accuracy provision, maintenance, and enhancement are permanently hot problems in modern manufacturing and manufacturing science. In the very beginning, the accuracy was considered as a purely technological problem. Both academic and en...

This report documents results from the first phase of a study co-sponsored by theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to assess the accuracy and precisionof manual test methods adopted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fordetermining the stack concentration of selected air pollutants. The program is entitledReference Method Accuracy and Precision and is referred to by the acronym ReMAP.The Phase 1 effort addresses the ...

The Gas Pipeline Safety Research Committee (GPSRC) is one of several committees established by the ASME Center for Research and Technology Development. The scope and functions of the Research Committee are to • Conceive, plan, and sponsor research required to increase the state of knowledge and practice related to pipeline safety • Promote technology transfer • Promote research concerning gas pipeline safety issues identified by other organiza...

In this monograph, the authors report the current advancement in high frequency piezoelectric crystal micromachined ultrasound transducers and arrays and their biomedical applications. Piezoelectric ultrasound transducers operating at high frequencies (>20 MHz) are of increasing demand in recent years for medical imaging and biological particle manipulation involved therapy. The performances of transducers greatly rely on the properties of the...

This monograph presents and discusses risk importance measures as quantified by the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models of nuclear power plants (NPPs) developed according to the current standards and practices. Usually, PRA tools calculate risk importance measures related to a single "basic event" representing particular failure mode. This is, then, reflected in many current PRA applications. The monograph focuses on the concept of "com...

This Handbook of Integrated and Sustainable Buildings Equipment and Systems is a direct result of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) initiative on Integrated/Sustainable Building Equipment and Systems (ISBES) which has the objective of filling voids in the literature and motivate advances on integrated mechanical systems in buildings. The main focus of this first Volume of the Handbook is on integrated energy systems in the bu...

This comprehensive and authoritative volume will serve as a complete introduction to those new to the field, as well as an up-to-date desk reference on regulations and resources for experienced practitioners. The handbook will provide a forum building a network of consistent approaches, practices, and results. Covering both NRC and DOE approaches, this book applies not only to decommissioning existing facilities, but by crossing the traditiona...

RAMCAP stands for Risk Analysis and Management for CriticalAsset Protection. This publication provides an understanding ofthe RAMCAP PlusSM process as applied to a broad array of criticalinfrastructures, ranging from industrial facilities (e.g., water systems)to college campuses. The approach includes protection(avoiding hazardous events or their consequences), andresilience (rapid return to full function after those events thatoccur). By usin...

With both entirely newand extensively rewritten chapters, the Code expert contributors considerthe use of this publication...

This monograph summarizes the major developments on nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics over the last fifty years, primarily for the water-cooled reactors, and provides a direction for the future thermalhydraulic developments for water-cooled, including small modular reactors or SMR , and Generation IV reactors. This includes discussion on the steady-state reactor thermal hydraulics including subchannel analysis, evolution of emerge...

This book seeks to make an original contribution to the knowledge base underpinning ultrasonic metal welding (USMW), particularly for the manufacturing of lithium-ion (li-ion) battery cells, modules, and packs as used in electric vehicles. The contributors to the book represent a team of leading experts in the field. Since its commercialization in the early 1990s, the lithium-ion (li-ion) battery has seen rapid growth due to its advantages of ...

For some, the use of the term "water hammer" evokes images of broken and bent piping, multi-million dollar damages, the loss of water supplies to cities, and the deaths of individuals due to water hammer accidents. Water hammer may be defined as an extreme fluid transient, occasionally recognized by loud banging, or hammering sounds, sometimes associated with fluid transients, which are caused by flow rate changes and resultant pressure surges...
