Abstract: Abstract. Liquid film atomization from trailing edges is found in numerous applications. These include air blast atomization in prefilming type fuel injectors and shedding from airfoils. This study investigates the effect ...

Abstract: Abstract. This research examines the influence of nonequilibrium steam, causing thermodynamic losses due to supercooling and condensation, the major source of wetness losses in low-pressure steam turbines. The nonequilibrium ...

Abstract: This study focused on the expansion rate of steam; the effect on efficiency was investigated experimentally and numerically by varying the expansion rate of steam in the stage, where condensation occurs by varying the ...

Abstract: In this work, the dynamics of a liquid film on the surface of NACA 0012 airfoil placed in a high-speed air flow is investigated. The findings complement previous results obtained on time averaged ligament behavior and ...

Abstract: The breakup of liquid films in highspeed flows is found in many applications. These include prefilming air blast atomization found in fuel injectors and shedding of droplet off of airfoils. In this work, a test rig has ...
