Abstract: The active magnetic bearing (AMB) is a relatively new technology which has many advantages compared with conventional bearing design. In an AMB system, the rolling-element back-up bearings are ...

Abstract: The numerical simulations of reactive turbulent flows and heat transfer in an industrial slab reheat furnace in which the combustion air is highly preheated have been carried out. The influence ...

Abstract: A study of the effects of nitric oxide (NO) models on the prediction of NO formation in a gas-fired regenerative furnace with highly preheated air was undertaken. Three chemical kinetic processes ...

Abstract: We investigate the influence of crown on slider dynamics during the takeoff stages of disk drives using the multi-channel laser interferometer. We show that a two-dimensional analysis of slider ...
