Performance testing identifies many aspects of turbocharger performance. Although, when performance is less than satisfactory, test cell mapping only identifies secondary or tertiary troubles demonstrating inconsistencies with expected performance. Such tasks as seeking out and eliminating efficiency losses or increasing operational surge margin are unrealistic expectations when basing your con...

Accurate numerical simulations depend on the correct prediction of all relevant flow phenomena. For many aeronautical devices such as turbomachinery the behavior of boundary layers, wall-shear-stress and wall heat transfer are significant for the performance. Turbulence and transition influence such flow characteristics. Onset and extent of transition can therefore be of high importance for the...

Abstract This paper presents the development and applications of a fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique as countermeasure for undesired light reflections on surfaces channel walls or obstacles. The employment dye-doped tracer particle with wavelength-specific optical filter enables separation stokes-shifted emission from surfaces. Aiming at applying to engine-like turbomachine...

Gas turbine design, development, monitoring and maintenance are widely based on numerical simulations of the steady and transient engine performance. Most of the equations that are solved in the simulation programs involve the thermodynamic properties of the fluid flowing through the engine. These properties depend on temperature, pressure, humidity and fuel dosage. As the solution of chemical ...

This paper investigates particular aspects of performing multidisciplinary optimizations in different turbomachinery design steps. The differences in the optimization approaches and used methods in preliminary and final design steps are shown. An optimization environment is developed, which supports multidisciplinary turbomachinery design. The general concept and components are explained. Some ...

Heat transfer between contacting surfaces is an important factor in the thermal behaviour of engineering components in turbomachinery and various other areas of technology. Thermal contact conductance (TCC) is a parameter that quantifies this heat flow. Any theoretical prediction of TCC should take into account the effects, if any, introduced by repeated loading and unloading. This study aims t...

results under the above chromatography condition, biuret compound (peqb) and the internal standard were detected at 4.5 and 13.5 minutes, respectively. limit of quantitation of the peqb was 0.1 µg/ml. accuracy of the method over the concentration range of 0.1-100 µg/ml was between 88-109%. inter- and intraday precisions were 4-19% and 6-8%, respectively. a good relationship in the form of a pow...
