Development of Air-atomizing Mist Nozzles and Mist Cooling System for Continuous Casting

Sprinkler and mist irrigation for cooling lettuce:effectiveness and economic cosideration

Clogging in Continuous Casting Nozzles

Nozzle clogging is a serious productivity and quality problem in continuous casting. This work reviews the causes, effects, and solutions to clogging in continuous casting nozzles. The results of a one-dimensional, steady state analysis of the heat loss from the molten steel stream through the nozzle wall are discussed. The analyses show that steel may freeze within the clog matrix for a relati...

Calibration of CFD Model for Mist/Steam Impinging Jets Cooling

In the heavy-frame advanced turbine systems, steam is used as a coolant for turbine blade cooling. The concept of injecting mist into the impinging jets of steam was experimentally proved as an effective way of significantly enhancing the cooling effectiveness in the laboratory under low pressure and temperature conditions. However, whether mist/steam cooling is applicable under actual gas turb...

An Experimental Study of Mist / Air Film Cooling On a Flat Plate With Application to Gas

Film cooling is a cooling technique widely used in highperformance gas turbines to protect the turbine airfoils from being damaged by hot flue gases. Motivated by the need to further improve film cooling in terms of both cooling effectiveness and coolant coverage area, the mist/air film cooling scheme is investigated through experiments in this study. A small amount of tiny water droplets (7% w...
