Abstract: Operation parameter influences on the behavior of the gaseous bubble in the lubricant for a groove textured journal bearing are studied under the consideration of the thermal effect of the bearing–shaft system. The influence ...

Abstract: Effects of groove textures on the performances for gaseous bubbles in the lubricant used for a textured journal bearing is studied under the consideration of thermal effect of lubricant. The Reynolds, energy, and ...

Abstract: The considerably low female student enrollments in construction management (CM) undergraduate degree programs have continued to draw attention from academia. With a cohort of local and international female students in a ...

Abstract: Laser bending of silicon sheet is a process to form threedimensional microstructural silicon elements in an ambient environment. This study aims to investigate the process mechanism with the aid of both experimental and ...

Abstract: The unsteady flow phenomenon (identified as rotating instability) in the last stage of a lowpressure model steam turbine operated at very low mass flow conditions is numerically studied. This kind of instability has been ...

Abstract: The maximum entropy distribution is proposed to fit the long term and extreme distribution of significant wave heights from which return value estimates are derived. The maximum entropy distribution is applied to data from ...

Abstract: A new stabilized finite element formulation for solving radiative transfer equation is presented. It owns the salient feature of leastsquares finite element method (LSFEM), i.e., free of the tuning parameter that appears ...

Abstract: An experimental study was performed to measure surface Nusselt number and film cooling effectiveness on a film cooled first stage nozzle guide vane (NGV) at high freestream turbulence, using a transient thin film gauge ...

Abstract: In modern gas turbine engines, the blade tips and neartip regions are exposed to high thermal loads caused by the tip leakage flow. The rotor blades are therefore carefully designed to achieve optimum work extraction at ...

Abstract: Detailed heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and film cooling effectiveness (Eta) distribution on a squealertipped first stage rotor blade were measured using an infrared technique. The blade tip design, obtained from the Solar ...
