Abstract: A radiation and free convection shield (RFS), when used with a thermal storage wall, can enhance the thermal performance of the storage wall and provide passive thermal control. In order to ...

Abstract: Transfer lubrication is defined as lubrication provided by the continuous transfer of solid lubricant to sliding/rolling interfaces. The lubricant may either be incorporated within a self-lubricating ...

Abstract: The basic equations are derived for compressible flow in a stepped labyrinth gas seal. The flow is assumed to be completely turbulent in the circumferential direction where the friction factor ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric compression tests of solid aluminum cylinders, over a wide range of “aspect ratios” (length/diameter) and both under dry as well as lubricated conditions, suggest that the resulting ...

Abstract: The power consumption and the orthogonal strains were measured during cold rolling of thin strips of aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel and bronze, under lubricated condition and through ...

Abstract: An exact mathematical theory of supercavitating flow in cascades with arbitrary blade shapes is developed. Applying conformal mapping methods to the potential flow problem involved, a general ...
