Abstract: The impingement cooling for a modern gas turbine component, either a combustor liner or a high-pressure turbine blade, is often not as efficient as required due to strong cross-flow effect and coolant maldistribution. This ...

Abstract: Using data observed at Dunhuang, in the Gansu, in the arid region of northwest China in the summer, the characteristics of the soil water content, temperature, and atmospheric humidity were analyzed. It was found that the ...

Abstract: Cross flow and coolant maldistribution are the common design challenges for impingement cooling in modern gas turbine. This paper reports a novel multi-stage impingement cooling scheme for combustor liner. The design concept ...

Abstract: To find the reasons of heat transfer enhancement of a laminar convective heat transfer process in a channel at a uniform heat flux boundary when a pair of longitudinal vortex generators (VGs) is mounted on the bottom wall, ...

Abstract: Based on damage records released by the Department of Civil Affairs of China, direct economic losses and casualties associated with tropical cyclones that made landfall over China during 1983?2006 are examined. In an average ...

Abstract: According to the tubing string failure statistics in the oilfield, fatigue crack of tubing joint thread in high temperature high pressure (HTHP) ultradeep gas wells remains a problem because it can cause tubing strength ...

Abstract: The first-stage absorber, which is often used to purify crude oil or highly acidic natural gas, is the core equipment of petrochemical enterprises. Uniaxial strength is checked considering axial stress, hoop stress, and ...

Abstract: Abstract The caving zone is an artificially created porous medium, and its behavior is closely linked to the parameters of the surrounding rock. Accurately predicting the properties of this porous medium in the caving zone ...

Abstract: Abstract The high degree of jointing in natural rock masses has a significant impact on their mechanical behavior. The joints are subjected to frequent loading and unloading during excavation. Therefore, this paper researches ...

Abstract: Supersonic blowdown wind tunnels provide controlled test environments for aerodynamic research on scaled models. During the experiments, the stagnation pressure in the test section is required to remain constant. Due to ...
