Abstract: A multi-objective optimization of a coupled casing treatment (CCT) for an axial transonic compressor is performed in this study. The coupled casing treatment is the basis axial slots with a circumferential groove located ...

Abstract: Painful herniated discs are treated surgically by removing extruded nucleus pulposus (NP) material (nucleotomy). NP removal through enzymatic digestion is also commonly performed to initiate degenerative changes to study ...

Abstract: In a quiescent environment on an f plane, the internal dynamic processes of a tropical cyclone (TC) can generate axially asymmetric circulations (asymmetries) in its inner-core region. The present study investigates how ...

Abstract: In this paper, due to its advantages of high accuracy and moderate computational cost, detached eddy simulation (DES) is adopted to observe detail flow characteristics of a kind of vertical axial wind turbine equipped with ...

Abstract: The rotating distortion generated by upstream wakes or low speed flow cells is a kind of phenomenon in the inlet of middle and rear stages of an axial compressor. Highly complex inflow can obviously affect the performance ...

Abstract: This study investigates the thermal performance of a parallel strip fin heat sink (PSFHS) under various heat flux conditions at a flowrate of 100 ml/min, including uniform heat flux and nonuniform heat flux. The heat sink ...

Abstract: In this paper, with the help of partial similarity principle, aerodynamic performance of a centrifugal compressor in a turbocharger unit is analyzed and improved based on a low-speed large-scaled model. In order to achieve ...

Abstract: In this work, a new micro-electrode bubble generator is presented that employs a micro-electrode installed inside a small nozzle enabling the production of bubbles with controllable size and frequency. This bubble generator ...

Abstract: AbstractWarm-mix technology for asphalt pavement is a component of sustainable social development. The low-temperature performance of a styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) asphalt binder modified with a warm-mix agent was ...

Abstract: AbstractIn recent years, superhigh tension bolts (SHTB) with ultimate strengths exceeding 1,400 MPa have been increasingly utilized in steel structures due to their significant economic and environmental advantages. ...
