Biodiesel Development and Characterization for Use as a Fuel in Compression Ignition Engines Tập 123 Số 2 - Trang 440-447 - 2001
Avinash Kumar Ágarwal, L.M. Das
Neat vegetable oils pose some problems when subjected to prolonged usage in CI engine. These problems are attributed to high viscosity, low volatility and polyunsaturated character of the neat vegetable oils. These problems are reduced to minimum by subjecting the vegetable oils to the process of transesterification. Various properties of the biodiesel thus developed are evaluated and comp...... hiện toàn bộ
Heat Transfer Enhancement in Channels With Turbulence Promoters Tập 107 Số 3 - Trang 628-635 - 1985
J. C. Han, J. S. Park, Chengwang Lei
Repeated rib roughness elements have been used in advanced turbine cooling designs to enhance the internal heat transfer. Often the ribs are perpendicular to the main flow direction so that they have an angle of attack of 90 deg. The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect of rib angle of attack on the pressure drop and the average heat transfer coefficients in the full...... hiện toàn bộ
Fuel-Cooled Thermal Management for Advanced Aeroengines Tập 126 Số 2 - Trang 284-293 - 2004
He Huang, L. J. Spadaccini, David R. Sobel
Fuel-cooled thermal management, including endothermic cracking and reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, is an enabling technology for advanced aero engines and offers potential for cycle improvements and pollutant emissions control in gas turbine engine applications. The successful implementation of this technology is, however, predicated on the use of conventional multicomponent hydrocarbon fu...... hiện toàn bộ
Hydrocarbon Fuel Cooling Technologies for Advanced Propulsion Tập 119 Số 2 - Trang 344-351 - 1997
David R. Sobel, L. J. Spadaccini
Storable hydrocarbon fuels that undergo endothermic reaction provide an attractive heat sink for future high-speed aircraft. An investigation was conducted to explore the endothermic potential of practical fuels, with inexpensive and readily available catalysts, under operating conditions simulative of high-speed flight applications. High heat sink capacities and desirable reaction product...... hiện toàn bộ
Laminar Flame Speed and Ignition Delay Time Data for the Kinetic Modeling of Hydrogen and Syngas Fuel Blends Tập 135 Số 2 - 2013
Michael Krejci, Olivier Mathieu, Andrew Vissotski, Sankaranarayanan Ravi, Travis Sikes, Eric L. Petersen, Alan Kérmonès, Wayne K. Metcalfe, Henry J. Curran
Laminar flame speeds and ignition delay times have been measured for hydrogen and various compositions of H2/CO (syngas) at elevated pressures and elevated temperatures. Two constant-volume cylindrical vessels were used to visualize the spherical growth of the flame through the use of a schlieren optical setup to measure the laminar flame speed of the mixture. Hydrogen experiments were per...... hiện toàn bộ
Bayesian Network Approach for Gas Path Fault Diagnosis Tập 128 Số 1 - Trang 64-72 - 2006
C. Romessis, K. Mathioudakis
A method for solving the gas path analysis problem of jet engine diagnostics based on a probabilistic approach is presented. The method is materialized through the use of a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN). Building a BBN for gas turbine performance fault diagnosis requires information of a stochastic nature expressing the probability of whether a series of events occurred or not. This inform...... hiện toàn bộ
A New Bump-Type Foil Bearing Structure Analytical Model Tập 129 Số 4 - Trang 1047-1057 - 2007
Sébastien Le Lez, Mihaï Arghir, J. Frêne
A gas bearing of bump foil type comprises an underlying structure made of one or several strips of corrugated sheet metal covered by a top foil surface. The fluid film pressure needs to be coupled with the behavior of the structure for obtaining the whole bearing characteristics. Unlike in classical elasto-aerodynamic models, a foil bearing (FB) structure has a very particular behavior due...... hiện toàn bộ
Measurement of Structural Stiffness and Damping Coefficients in a Metal Mesh Foil Bearing Tập 132 Số 3 - 2010
Luis San Andrés, Thomas Abraham Chirathadam, Tae‐Ho Kim
Engineered metal mesh foil bearings (MMFBs) are a promising low cost bearing technology for oil-free microturbomachinery. In a MMFB, a ring shaped metal mesh provides a soft elastic support to a smooth arcuate foil wrapped around a rotating shaft. This paper details the construction of a MMFB and the static and dynamic load tests conducted on the bearing for estimation of its structural st...... hiện toàn bộ
Overall Effectiveness of a Blade Endwall With Jet Impingement and Film Cooling Tập 136 Số 3 - 2014
Amy Mensch, Karen A. Thole
Ever-increasing thermal loads on gas turbine components require improved cooling schemes to extend component life. Engine designers often rely on multiple thermal protection techniques, including internal cooling and external film cooling. A conjugate heat transfer model for the endwall of a seven-blade cascade was developed to examine the impact of both convective cooling and solid conduc...... hiện toàn bộ
Options in Gas Turbine Power Augmentation Using Inlet Air Chilling Tập 113 Số 2 - Trang 203-211 - 1991
Igor S. Ondryas, Dwayne A. Wilson, Marvin Kawamoto, Gary L. Haub
Gas turbine power augmentation in a cogeneration plant using inlet air chilling is investigated. Options include absorption chillers, mechanical (electric driven) chillers, thermal energy storage. Motive energy for the chillers is steam from the gas turbine exhaust or electrical energy for mechanical chillers. Chilled water distribution in the inlet air system is described. The overall eco...... hiện toàn bộ
