Abstract: Abstract. This study presents an analytical solution for one-dimensional transient heat conduction in multilayer slabs with linearly varying thermal conductivity and diffusivity within each layer. The multilayer system is ...

Abstract: The gas turbine engine's extreme conditions need a robust design to produce efficient energy and for reliable operation. Flow and thermal analysis are essential for complex aerodynamic and thermodynamic interaction during ...

Abstract: After the Fukushima nuclear accident, nuclear policy has become uncertain in Japan, and alternatively, variable renewable (VR) energy, such as wind and photovoltaic (PV), is highlighted for addressing climate change and ...

Abstract: Corrosion affects the sustainability of steel structures, especially those with improper maintenance and those exposed directly to the atmosphere and seashore environments. Corrosion-related accidents have been reported ...

Abstract: The importance of gas turbine blades is to convert the thermal energy into shaft work output, which makes the turbine blades as one of the critical components of the gas turbines. Besides the mechanical stresses caused by ...

Abstract: The higher firing temperature reflects the higher efficiency of the gas turbine. However, using higher temperatures is limited as it may cause a rupture, bending, or failure of the turbine blades. Hence, the development ...

Abstract: This study aims to better understand the aluminum oxide agglomerates breakup mechanism, consequently determining the best solution for the solid rocket motor (SRM) nozzle erosion problem. Two-phase air-water flow experimental ...

Abstract: Erosion prediction of the solid propellent nozzle is vital for its design process. This erosion is caused by the impingement of agglomerated aluminum/aluminum oxide particles on the nozzle walls. Thus, a multi-phase numerical ...

Abstract: Investigating the mechanical erosion of the solid rocket motor convergent-divergent (C-D) nozzle is essential to overcome its development barriers. Consequently, the break-up mechanism of the aluminum oxide agglomerates ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed investigation into enhancing the energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems, emphasizing power flow analysis and experimental validation. ...
