Abstract: There are two different but well known theories for calculating loss in the mixing process of the nonuniform flow discharged from the impeller, into the vaneless diffuser. One is by Dean and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for predicting the discharge coeffcient for a venturi flowmeter with a short laying length where the static pressure is not uniform at the throat due to streamline ...

Abstract: Recently collected hydrographic data show that each of the four water mass zones previously identified in Drake Passage is characterized by a distinctly different vertical profile of Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Stratification ...

Abstract: This study introduces a track-following controller design to measure the rotor dynamics (RD) coefficient of the annular seal using active magnetic bearings. The annular seal is implemented contiguously to prevent leakage ...

Abstract: The difference in dynamic behavior of the rotor-bearing system supported by the bearing model that considers both lateral and angular whirling motions of the journal (model A), and the model that considers only lateral ...

Abstract: Abstract. Tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs) have high vibration stability and are widely used in high-speed turbomachinery. In recent years, direct-lubricated TPJBs have been used to reduce bearing losses and bearing ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional numerical experiments have been conducted to investigate the viscous and porous inertia effects on the pressure drop in a non-Newtonian fluid flow through a porous medium. A ...

Abstract: In order to clarify the grinding mechanism of polymer matrix composites, special test specimens were provided. The test specimen is such one that glass yarns are unidirectionally embedded at ...

Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to understand the interfacial deformation between pad and wire and the effect of the pad thickness, the pad hardness, and the tool shape on the interfacial ...
