Turbocharging is an important way to raise engine power density, save energy and reduce emission. Because turbocharger is driven by exhaust gas, energy utilization rate is a key factor for turbocharged engine performance. As a part transferring heat to mechanical energy, turbine efficiency decides exhaust gas energy utilization. Becaus...
Wall thinning is the reduction in pipe thickness as time passes, and can strain pipes in nuclear or thermoelectric power plants. Wall thinning can be classified into three types: flow-accelerated corrosion, cavitation erosion, and solid particle erosion. This article presents a study on solid particle erosion, which frequently causes d...
To solve the problem of excessive design parameters of flow channel during the comprehensive optimization of the axial-flow blower\"s total pressure efficiency and flux, a progressive optimization design method which is based on the importance of structural parameters is proposed. The accurate numerical simulation model of flow channel...
In the present study, influences of impeller splitter blades on the performance of a centrifugal pump when handling viscous fluids have been investigated numerically and experimentally. In order to approach this aim, various splitter blades have been inserted on the impellers that pump viscous fluids ranging from 1 cSt to 500 cSt and t...
