Sensitivity Analysis on the Effect of D32 and Dv90 on the Evaporation Efficiency of Gas Turbine Inlet Fogging for Power Augmentation
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas turbine output is strongly dependent on the ambient air temperature. This decrease usually occurs in the hot afternoon during the peak demand for power. One way to counter this drop in output is to cool the inlet air ...

Numerical Investigation of a Phase Change Material Building Integrating Solar Thermal Collector PCM-BST
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sensible thermal energy storage (TES) systems can reduce energy environmental fluctuation dependency with the nocturnal energy needs usage in maintaining the building's comfort levels. In the present paper, phase change ...
Key Parameters for the Performance of Impaction-Pin Nozzles Used in Inlet Fogging of Gas Turbine Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of inlet air fogging to gas turbine engines for power augmentation has become common practice, with more than 1000 installations worldwide, including a large number of advanced ...
Transient Mass Transport within Stokes Eddies Induced in a Junction of Orthogonal Flow Branches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The model of junction of four orthogonal channels is used to investigate mass transport within viscous eddies developing through channel networks. These viscous eddies may develop in low flow rate branches of channel ...
Evaporative Cooling of Gas Turbine Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are numerous gas turbine applications in power generation and mechanical drive service where power drop during the periods of high ambient temperature has a very detrimental effect on the production of power or process ...
Estimating Lower Tropospheric Vertical Motion from Surface Pressure and Pressure Tendency Data Alone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Existing methods for calculating synoptic and meso-alpha scale vertical motion rely on upper air sounding data which confines the calculations to restricted regions of the earth's surface and to sounding times. In this ...
Stokes Flow Within Networks of Flow Branches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stokes flow in the branches of structured looped networks with successive identical square loops and T-junction branches is studied. Analytical expressions of the flow rate in the branches are determined for network of ...
Thermal Behavior of a Building Provided With Phase-Change Materials on the Roof and Exposed to Solar Radiation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates the effectiveness of phase change materials (PCMs) for the improvement of summer thermal comfort in lightweight buildings. Experiments have been carried out using PCM in the form of DuPont Energain ...
Passive Cooling of Protruding Electronic Components by Latent Heat of Fusion Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of the present work is to study the thermal performance of a hybrid heat sink used for cooling management of protruding substrate-mounted electronic chips. The power generated in ...
