The erosion prone areas on the blade surfaces of a centrifugal impeller handling granular solids have been investigated both theoretically and eperimentally.
The objective of the theoretical study is to develop software ...
The suitability of the octagonally coordinated complex, ruthenium (III) hexamine, as a soluble electron
mediator for glucose oxidase in the electrochemical capillary fill device (CFD) was investigated.
Electrochemical ...
'Low density polyethylene has been oriented into a state of
transverse isotropy by cold-drawing an originally isotropic blank in
uniaxial tension, and the non-linear creep behaviour of the material
has been completely ...
Questions are continually being asked about the direction in which land
based production in the UK is evolving. Present systems are criticised
as being damaging to the wider environment and rural communities. Of
equal ...
In the natural gas market, open access along with gas brokering and marketing
has resulted in multiple gas contracts through one physical measuring point
Accurate metering of natural gas has become more important than ...
The aim of this work is to study the unsteady response of
rotor blades of a lightly loaded single stage axial flow
compressor experiencing inlet flow distortions in forms of
circumferential pressure distortions and ...
The effect of turbulent flow-fields on a premixed flame-front has been of
considerable interest in the field of combustion research. Modern laser diagnostics
allow the measurement of important parameters such as species ...
The suspension system of a ground vehicle moving on or off road
can be improved by so called "active control" using control
strategies which require feedback of all or some of the system
states. A stochastic state ...
Boundary Layer Flows in turbomachines have been recognised to crucially
influence the stability and performance of gas turbine components particularly the
compressor since its function is to provide a pressure rise through ...
The origin of the wind-turbine is discussed and its subsequent
development reviewed.
Various types of sail wind-turbine are described and their
advantages and different types detailed. Their appropriateness for
driving ...
In the
present work a zero-dimensional model of turbulent
combustion has been developed for the spark ignition
engine. In addition to the prediction of thermodynamic
state
properties, the model includes the following ...
