Abstract: Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of using small exit vanes on the characteristics of an otherwise vaneless radial diffuser of outer radius and width-to-inlet radius ratios ...

Abstract: Experimental investigation of the dynamic response of a centrifugal blower to periodic flow rate modulations was carried out at different blower operating conditions. For modulation frequencies ...

Abstract: A practical technique is investigated for the determination of dynamic stresses in pipelines through the use of finite element method (FEM) and field measurement vibrations at selected points. ...

Abstract: The mechanism of blade excitation during the operation of a high-mass-flow, high-pressure-ratio centrifugal compressor has been investigated. This was carried out in the compressor operating range ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of self-excited flow oscillations in a high-performance centrifugal compressor system with a straight channel radial vaned diffuser. ...
