Abstract: The present work advances experimental results and analytical predictions on the dynamic performance of an integral squeeze film damper (ISFD) for application in a high-speed super-critical CO2 (sCO2) expander. The test ...

Abstract: New opportunities in design surface with scientific advances: however, the rapid pace of scientific discoveries combined with the complexity of technical barriers often impedes new product development. Biobased technologies, ...

Abstract: The compressor surge is a phenomenon which has to be avoided since it implies the deterioration of performance and leads to mechanical damage to the compressor and system components. As a consequence, compression system ...

Abstract: Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles could be a more efficient alternative to steam Rankine cycles for power generation from coal. Using existing labyrinth seal technology, shaft-end-seal leakage can result in ...
