High-pressure turbine rim seal design for increased efficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In high-pressure turbines, compressor air is used to purge the disc space in an effort to protect the blade roots and the turbine disc from overheating and failure.

Effect of Ingress on Flow and Heat Transfer Upstream and Downstream of a Rotating Turbine Disc

open access: yesAerospace, 2019
Ingress is the penetration of a hot mainstream gas in a turbine annulus through the rim seal into the wheel-space between the rotating turbine disc (the rotor) and the adjacent stationary casing (the stator).

Flow mechanisms in axial turbine rim sealing [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2018
This paper presents a review of research on turbine rim sealing with emphasis placed on the underlying flow physics and modelling capability. Rim seal flows play a crucial role in controlling engine disc temperatures but represent a loss from the main engine power cycle and are associated with spoiling losses in the turbine. Elementary models that rely

Influence of Fat Oil Binding Capacity on Shelf‐Life and Consumer Acceptance of a Chocolate‐Based Model System

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In chocolate‐coated products, oil migration can lead to chocolate softening and discoloration, filling hardening, and reduced consumer acceptance. This study examined three fats (soy‐, palm‐, and palm‐kernel (PK) based), crystallized under different conditions (cooling rate and high intensity ultrasound (HIU)) with differing oil binding ...

Numerical Investigation of Rim Seal Flow in a Single-Stage Axial Turbine

open access: yesEng
This study investigates rim seal flow in axial turbine configurations through a combined experimental–numerical approach, with the objective of identifying sealing-flow conditions that minimize ingestion while limiting aerodynamic losses.

Earthquake Natech Risk Assessment in Major-hazard Industrial Plants, a Case Study: Cylindrical Liquid Storage Tank with Floating Roof

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2022
The experience of several failures of equipment in industrial plants due to earthquake has shown that incidental scenarios like explosion, fire or hazardous release can occur. In Italy, industrial plants that operate with hazardous substances are subject

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

The Effect of the Purge–Mainstream Density Ratio on Rim Seal Fluid Mechanics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Turbomachinery, Propulsion and Power
Significant density ratios arise in a gas turbine due to severe temperature gradients between the hot mainstream gases leaving the combustor and the superposed purge flow injected from the secondary air system. Engineers seek to minimise the ingestion of

Inside Out: A Novel Labral Repair and Advancement Technique

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2014
Labral tears are a significant cause of hip pain and are currently the most common indication for hip arthroscopy. Compared with labral debridement, labral repair has significantly better outcomes in terms of both daily activities and athletic pursuits ...
