Abstract: There is immense scope for the development of heat engines that can directly convert solar and biochemical renewable sources of thermal energy to high-grade energy. Regenerative Stirling cycle ...

Abstract: Successful NOx measurements at the end of the primary zone of a small tubular combustor of conventional gas turbine design, employing acoustically controlled primary zone air-jet mixing processes, ...

Abstract: The mixing of an acoustically pulsed air jet with a confined hot crossflow has been assessed by temperature profile measurements. These novel experiments were designed to examine the effects ...

Abstract: A small combustor of normal design employing acoustic control of the dilution-air flows has been successfully tested up to “half-load” conditions. It has been shown that this technique can be ...

Abstract: Novel direct measurements of the entrainment coefficient in the initial zone of a pulsating air jet have been successfully accomplished. A series of pulsating air jets flowing from different ...

Abstract: Direct measurements of entrainment by acoustically pulsed axisymmetric air jets flowing into surrounding air have been made for a range of orifice sizes, Strouhal numbers, and excitation powers. ...

Abstract: A fast and storage‐efficient algorithm for the computation of the static response of determinate trusses to nodal loading is proposed. In terms of the number of bars in the truss,
