Abstract: A thermal spray coating process was used to deposit dense 2 mm thick metal skins on the surfaces of square cross-section channels (300 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm) of nickel and copper ...

Abstract: This theoretical study proposes an analytical model to predict the maximum spread of single droplets on solid surfaces with zero or low Weber and Reynolds numbers. The spreading droplet is ...

Abstract: Two overlapping droplets impacting on a solid surface coalesce and recoil so that the edges of the droplets are drawn back, a phenomenon called drawback. A series of experiments were conducted ...

Abstract: A novel metal-based thermal barrier coating was tested in a spark-ignition engine. The coating was applied to the surface of aluminum plugs and exposed to in-cylinder conditions through ports ...
