Abstract: The present paper concerns itself with the effects of total pressure (and thus velocity) distortion on performance characteristics and surge margin of centrifugal compressors. Both radial and ...

Abstract: The discharge coefficients for two inlet nozzles with different contraction shapes were studied experimentally together with the behavior of the boundary layer on the nozzle wall. For the inlet ...

Abstract: A method was developed to measure tool temperature distribution within the tool by means of fine powders that have a constant melting point. The method involves observation of the boundary ...

Abstract: To minimize surgical stresses including blood loss and operation time to the patients during hepatic resection, we studied the feasibility of a combination of a partial liver freezing technique ...

Abstract: The safe disposal of radioactive nuclear waste is currently an urgent and challenging issue. Many countries, including the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Germany, Canada, Belgium, France, and Japan, have ...
