Abstract: An assessment of the cavitation erosion risk by using a contemporary unsteady Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes (URANS) method in conjunction with a newly developed postprocessing procedure is made for an NACA0015 hydrofoil ...

Abstract: In order to give more sights into the melting (and solidification) heat transfer processes of nano-enhanced phase change material (NePCM) with invisible phase interfaces, a novel indirect method for tracking the phase ...

Abstract: The constrained melting of nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM) in a horizontal cylindrical capsule was investigated via the utilization of thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) technique for tracking the invisible ...

Abstract: The spray characteristics of a liquid sheet contribute much to the investigation of atomization efficiency. Considering the jet contracting effect of elliptical jets, an improved model of elliptical power-law fluid jets ...

Abstract: Toward accelerated latent heat storage, the unconstrained melting heat transfer in spherical capsules was revisited experimentally in the presence of nano-enhanced phase-change materials (NePCMs), with an emphasis on the ...

Abstract: Stainless steel is used in many applications because of its excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Material fatigue is a major problem in steel structures and can cause catastrophic damage resulting in ...

Abstract: Martensitic grade stainless-steel is generally used to manufacture steam turbine blades in power plants. The material degradation of those turbine blades, due to fatigue, will induce unexpected equipment damage. Fatigue ...
