Abstract: This paper describes a method for predicting flow behavior and performance for centrifugal fans of the squirrel-cage type. The work is directed at improving under standing of the factors affecting ...

Abstract: This paper presents data for convective heat transfer coefficients on the front surface of a free-standing array of solar collectors mounted on the flat roof of a low warehouse-type building ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of performance measurements and detailed measurements of the mean flow field at rotor inlet and rotor exit in three squirrel-cage fan configurations. The flow-field ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a detailed experimental investigation of swirling flows in a cylindrical annulus. Flows having nominal swirl angles of 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees were measured. ...

Abstract: This paper presents results for convective heat transfer coefficients on the surface of flat-plate solar collectors mounted on a single-family residential building and exposed to the wind. The ...

Abstract: Measurements of pressure distributions, profile losses, and flow deviation were carried out on a planar turbine cascade in incompressible flow to assess the effects of partial roughness coverage ...

Abstract: This paper and its companion paper present experimental results on the effects of simulated rotation on the tip leakage in a linear turbine cascade test. Part II examines the downstream flow ...

Abstract: Expressions for the logarithmic portion of the law of the wall are derived for the axial and tangential velocity components of swirling flow in annular ducts. These expressions involve new ...
