Abstract: The stagnation flow and heat transfer from the blunt surface of a finite circular disk subjected to a uniform stream of an incompressible fluid is revisited in this paper. A laminar boundary layer analyses were carried out ...

Abstract: Increases in travel speeds and traffic density in railway sector impose challenges on the modern disk-pad brake systems such as higher temperatures and stresses resulting in cracks/hot spots and a degraded system performance. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for a cost- and time-effective calibration procedure for five-hole probes for the transonic flow regime based on additive manufacturing and a numerical calibration routine. The computational ...

Abstract: Boiling and bubble dynamics were experimentally investigated in a HeleShaw flow cell using pure water at atmospheric pressure as the working fluid. The resulting vapor bubble shapes were recorded by means of a highspeed ...

Abstract: Convective heat transfer in rotating disk systems is of great importance in many engineering applications. Despite the high practical relevance, there have been only a small number of experimental investigations regarding ...

Abstract: An optimization study based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in combination with Stratford's analytical separation criterion was developed for the design of piecewise conical contraction zones and nozzles. The risk ...

Abstract: This article presents a combined numerical and experimental study of the high-subsonic organic vapor flow in a linear turbine cascade. The profile geometry is the well-documented LS59 highly loaded rotor blade and the ...

Abstract: The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) offers great potential for waste heat recovery and use of lowtemperature sources for power generation. However, the ORC thermal efficiency is limited by the relatively lowtemperature level, ...
