Abstract: The unsteady heat transfer measurements about a transonic turbine blade at engine representative Mach and Reynolds numbers are presented. High density, fast-response thin film gauges are employed ...

Abstract: This paper describes experimental research aimed at developing an on-board smoke sensor for diesel engines. The sensor element was similar to a conventional spark plug. Electrical heating of the ...

Abstract: It has been demonstrated by previous researchers that an approximate value of the bulk flow velocity through the spark plug gap of a running spark ignition engine may be deduced from the ...
