Porous ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a candidate group of materials for transpiration cooling hypersonic vehicles due to their exceptionally high melting point, typically above 3000 K. Their operating temperature permits higher amount radiative than that achievable with conventional materials, which reduces the required coolant mass flow rate cool surface. This work experimentally...

This research investigates the effectiveness of a spanwise array synthetic jet actuator (SJA) for control boundary layer separation over circular “hump” model. The influence geometrical and operational parameters – including position, velocity ratio (i.e., peak exit actuators to freestream cross flow, VR) actuation waveform on flow are investigated using hot-wire anemometry (HWA) particle image...

In this research, the behavior and characteristics of the wake of flow in an elliptic cylinder with zero angle of attack in the presence of a tripping wire were investigated experimentally. For this purpose, the used an Aluminum cylinder with an elliptical cross section of the major and minor axis of 42.4 mm and 21.2 mm, respectively, and of the height of 390 mm. The cylinder model was examined...

The present work has developed a methodology based on thermography and sonic anemometry for studying the microclimate in Mediterranean greenhouses equipped with air heaters and polyethylene distribution ducts to distribute the warm air. Sonic anemometry allows us to identify the airflow pattern generated by the heaters and to analyze the temperature distribution inside the greenhouse, while the...

Abstract The removal of droplets on surfaces by an (air-) flow is relevant, e.g., for cleaning processes or to prevent corrosion damage electronic devices. Still the condition droplet movement not fully understood. Droplets start move downstream at a critical velocity v crit . For increasing velocity, this process related strong oscillation droplet. This supposed be key mechanism onset in conju...

the proper and quantitative recognition of the scale of turbulence in regard to issues such as sediment transport is of major importance. different experimental techniques can be used to determining the scale of turbulence, but the accuracy of these techniques is open to question. in this paper, after a review of the taylor method, the restrictions and advantages of velocity measurement techniq...

Hot-wire anemometric measurements of non-isothermal flows require the use of thermal compensation or correction circuitry. One possible solution is a two-state hot-wire anemometer that uses the cyclically changing heating level of a single sensor. The area in which flow velocity and fluid temperature can be measured is limited by the dimensions of the sensor's active element. The system is desi...

There is a growing interest in atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metals for ultra-large-scale integrated circuit (ULSIC) manufacturing. Radical-enhanced ALD (REALD) utilizing plasma (PEALD) has been proposed to grow a number of metals [1]. In our work, we investigate an alternative approach to REALD without plasma, i.e. replacing plasma by a hot (up to 2000 oC) tungsten (W) wire. In this so-call...

This paper describes the main principles of constructing innovative MEMS flow meters for gaseous working fluids. MEMS flow meter contains hot-wire thermoanemometrisc sensor which response to the temperature change caused by convective working fluid heat transfer from a hot-wire. The advantages of using hot-wire thermoanemometric sensors were analyzed. The main emphasis of this work is on speed,...

in this paper, considering the importance of incoming flow turbulence intensity into combustion chamber, tripping wire effect on the flow wake has been experimentally investigated within a linear compressor cascade. to do this, two wires were implemented along each blade and their effects on average velocity, turbulence intensity and vortices frequencies at reynolds number 45500 were accurately...
