Abstract: In this study, the fluid (air) temperature field and the convective heat flux distribution on the rotor disk surface were measured and computed in a model rotor–stator disk cavity. Both ...

Abstract: A computational model of a combined cycle power generation unit is developed and applied to one operated by a local utility company. The objective is to predict the performance of this unit ...

Abstract: A computational model of a hybrid pressurized solid oxide fuel cell (PSOFC) generator/gas turbine power plant is developed using classical thermodynamic analysis in conjunction with electromechanical, ...

Abstract: Computational simulations of flow and heat transfer in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of vertical- and horizontal-tube designs are reported. The main objective of the work was to obtain ...

Abstract: A computational model of a power plant steam condenser which incorporates the effects of air in-leakage and removal on the performance of the condenser is reported. The condenser interior space ...

Abstract: Directional sensitivities of alumina and quartz-coated cylindrical hot-film velocity sensors with ls /ds ratios near 20 were investigated in air and liquid Refrigerant-113 flows. The well-known ...

Abstract: It has been suggested by researchers that ingestion, through rim seals, of mainstream gas into axial-flow turbine disk cavities is a consequence of the prevailing unsteady three-dimensional flow ...

Abstract: Experiments were carried out in a model air turbine stage to study the influence of rotor-stator rim cavity configuration on the ingestion of mainstream gas into the cavity. The three rim ...
