Abstract: The continuing requirement for performance improvement of higher thrust turbofans is met by increased bypass ratios. The trend toward higher bypass ratios and relatively large-diameter low-pressure-ratio ...

Abstract: Turbomachines are subject to an excessive rate of erosion when operated in dusty environments or exposed to combustion gases of newly developed synthetic fuels or heavy oils. The surface quality ...

Abstract: This study presents an investigation concerning the conversion of solar radiation into heat, cold, and electricity on the facades of virtual buildings located in four different cities that correspond to different climatic ...
