Abstract: Unfired combined cycles achieve superior efficiencies at low emission levels. The potential and efficiency limits are investigated and the possibilities for enhancing efficiency are described. It ...

Abstract: It is known that in the quasi-static treatment of ideally elastoplastic solids, lack of uniqueness may occur unless associated flow rules are used. This has been illustrated by a simple example ...

Abstract: Using Galerkin’s method it is shown that in the domain of divergence, the nonconservative system of the follower-load type is always more stable than the corresponding conservative system. Hence, ...

Abstract: The formulae of classical hydrodynamics are not suitable for the calculation of load capacity and power loss of worm gear drives. Thus a theoretical basis had to be developed for the comparison ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to investigate the suppression of the fluid forces acting on a circular cylinder (hereafter called the main cylinder) by controlling the flow around it. Flow ...

Abstract: The effect of the addition of the turbulence intensity to the free stream on the characteristics of the bistable flow which takes place around two square prisms in tandem arrangement was ...

Abstract: Characteristics of errors which might occur in the straightness measurement method due to sequential-two-points were investigated. The investigation made it clear that the slight discrepancies of ...
