Abstract: Mixtures containing steam, water, and solids develop when processing ore slurries at elevated temperature and pressure. Based on homogeneous one-dimensional three-phase flow theory equations are ...

Abstract: The subject under investigation is very important to the gas turbine industry, and the derivation of a correlation for the oil chamber wall heat transfer coefficient is long past overdue. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental implementation of a gradient-based nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm to the swing-up control of a rotary inverted pendulum. The key attribute ...

Abstract: The performance of low-conductivity unglazed, transpired solar collectors was determined numerically and experimentally. The numerical work consisted of modeling flow conditions, plate geometries, ...

Abstract: The influence of faults in the variable geometry (variable stator vanes) system of a multistage axial compressor on the performance of an industrial gas turbine is investigated. An experimental ...

Abstract: This paper documents the pioneering work of Dr. Max Bentele during his long and distinguished career in Germany, the UK, and the United States. His early work on turbojets at the Heinkel-Hirth ...

Abstract: The inlet fogging of gas turbine engines for power augmentation has seen increasing application over the past decade. This paper provides the results of extensive experimental and theoretical ...

Abstract: When a hot end blade for a gas turbine is designed, several failure criteria must be considered to insure reliability. The criteria include (but are not limited to) creep rupture, low-cycle ...

Abstract: Recent measurements and modeling of primary exhaust particulate matter (PM) emissions from both gasoline and diesel-powered motor vehicles suggest that many vehicles produce PM at rates substantially ...
