Abstract: An ideal open gas turbine cycle with multiple-stage intercooled compression and multiple-stage reheat expansion theoretically approaches Carnot thermal efficiency. A proposed practicable process to ...

Abstract: The three components of the Navier-Stokes equation are solved here simultaneously in their nonlinear form for axisymmetric radial inward and outward flow cases between two parallel rotating walls. ...

Abstract: The governing equations for the dynamical system of a self-acting gas-lubricated journal bearing are formulated. An approximate solution for the equilibrium position of the journal center is ...

Abstract: The theory of Part 1 is applied to a flexible rotor in which bearing forces are taken as linear functions of journal displacement. The balancing problem is viewed as the optimization (by ...

Abstract: The phenomenon of oil-film whirl in bearings subjected to steady external loads is analyzed. The journal, assumed to be a particle mass, is subjected to the action of two forces; namely, the ...

Abstract: The commonly employed “indifferent equilibrium” postulate is rejected as internally inconsistent, and the dynamics problem is solved by using a system of discrete masses with fixed unbalances ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the stability of the single mass rotor with internal friction on damped, anisotropic supports. The paper shows under what conditions the rotor stability may be improved by ...

Abstract: An analytical investigation of the effect of coupling characteristics on the response of axially coupled sets of turborotors is presented. The results of this investigation are based on transfer ...
