Abstract: Radiation heat transfer in a model combustor with interior and exterior conjugate heat transfers has been numerically studied. The previous investigations on turbulence, combustion, and scalar ...

Abstract: Reliable NOx modeling depends on the accurate prediction of both velocity and temperature fields. The velocity and temperature fields of a propane diffusion flame combustor, with interior and ...

Abstract: To understand the physics of volcanic ash impact on gas turbine hot-components and develop much-needed tools for engine design and fleet management, the behaviors of volcanic ash in a gas turbine combustor and nozzle guide ...

Abstract: The load transferring mechanism was investigated and then used to establish the load transferring equation. A calculation method for the vertical load transferring characteristic of the rock socketed pile was proposed to ...

Abstract: Energy efficiency improvement and timely preventive maintenance (PM) are critical in manufacturing industry due to the rising energy cost, environmental concerns, and increasing requirements on system reliability. By ...

Abstract: Needle insertion is a widely used medical procedure in various minimally invasive surgeries. The estimation of the coupled needle deflection and tissue deformation during the needle insertion procedure is crucial to the ...

Abstract: In endoscopic liver vascular insertion surgeries, during the process of angiographic operation, the success of vascular staining depends on precise needle insertion control which heavily relies on experienced surgeons. ...

Abstract: Needle–tissue interactive force is vital for developing a virtual simulation and planning system (SPS) and optimizing needle control strategy, wherein the friction coefficient is an important parameter but difficult to ...
