Abstract: A theory is presented to predict deposition rates of fine particles in two-dimensional compressible boundary layer flows. The mathematical model developed accounts for diffusion due to both ...

Abstract: Experiments using cascades and small turbines have been conducted or are being considered to simulate large utility turbine operation with future coal-fired power plants. The purpose of these ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computer package developed to calculate the blade erosion rates in multistage turbines that use particle-laden hot expansion gases. This package is an extension of the ...

Abstract: As an extension to the inviscid gas flow particle trajectory model presented in earlier papers, a complementary model has been developed to establish the effect of the blade boundary layer on ...
