Abstract: Labyrinth seals are used in various kinds of turbo machines to reduce internal leakage flow. The working fluid, or the gas passing through the rotor shaft labyrinth seals, often generates ...

Abstract: Direct lubrication tilting pad journal bearings (DLTPJ bearings) have rarely been applied to large-scale rotating machinery, such as turbines or generators, whose journal diameters are more than ...

Abstract: In this paper we examine the interaction between the cavity and main flows of three different rotor cavities. For each of the three rotor cavities, the cavity inlets differ in their axial ...

Abstract: The traditional method for bearing and damper analysis usually involves a development of rather complicated numerical calculation programs that may just focus on a simplified and specific physical ...
