Abstract: This paper conducts experimental and analytical studies of a novel heat-transfer device, reciprocating-mechanism driven heat loop (RMDHL) that facilitates two-phase heat transfer while eliminating ...

Abstract: With a substantially increased gas inlet temperature in modern gas turbines, the cooling of turbine disks is becoming a challenging task. In order to reduce the temperature at the disk rim, ...

Abstract: An isothermal journal bearing that incorporates heat-pipe cooling technology has been developed. The heat pipe can spread frictional heat rapidly along the bearing circumference, resulting in a ...
