Abstract: The paper considers heat transfer characteristics of thin film flow over a hot horizontal flat plate resulting from a cold vertical jet of liquid falling onto the surface. A numerical solution ...

Abstract: The static thermoelastic mixed boundary value problem is studied, the one modeling a heat source and a heat sink acting in an infinite plane that contains a partially debonded rigid elliptic inclusion. By employing the ...

Abstract: The diffusion hole constructed on a slot-type cross section has the potential to obtain high film cooling performance. However, the end shape of the cross section can greatly affect film cooling characteristics. This study ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical investigation of the film-cooling performance of a kind of diffusion hole with a fusiform cross section. Relative to the rectangular diffusion hole, the up- and/or downstream wall of the ...

Abstract: It is well known that fire-induced spalling usually occurs to high-strength and ultra-high performance concretes. However, experiments have shown that thermal spalling can also occur to normal strength concrete (NSC) and ...

Abstract: The exhaust system in condensing steam turbines is used to recover leaving kinetic energy of the last stage turbine, while guiding the flow from turbine to condenser. The flows in the exhaust ...

Abstract: Three-point bending tests of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plated notched concrete beams have great potential to become a standard test method for evaluating the shear bond performance of FRP-to-concrete interfaces. This ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed flow and heat transfer characteristic analysis on gas turbine first-stage turbine under hot streak inlet conditions. Two kinds of inlet total temperature conditions ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the rectangular diffusion hole. The effects of rectangular aspect ratio and lateral diffusion angle on film-cooling effectiveness were studied at a low-speed flat-plate ...
